New reports from the Texas Department of Public Safety show that last year (2025) in Maverick County, an average of two to three offenses per day were reported across the crime categories tracked in the figures.

The Eagle Pass Police Department and Maverick County Sheriff’s Office reported a combined 862 offenses during 2025, averaging 2.36 offenses daily over the entire year. Both agencies submitted information covering all 12 months.

Eagle Pass police reported 506 offenses, accounting for approximately 59 percent of the combined total. The Sheriff’s Office reported 356 offenses, representing approximately 41 percent.

The figures show that more offenses overall were reported by city police.

However, the Sheriff’s Office recorded more burglaries and aggravated assaults.

Theft was the most frequently reported offense, with 505 cases countywide.

Eagle Pass police reported 341 thefts, compared with 164 reported by the Sheriff’s Office.

Burglary followed with 175 reported offenses. Of those, 107 were reported by the Sheriff’s Office and 68 by Eagle Pass police.

The agencies reported 99 aggravated assaults, including 57 recorded by the Sheriff’s Office and 42 by city police.

Motor vehicle theft accounted for another 59 offenses, with Eagle Pass police reporting 43 and the Sheriff’s Office reporting 16.

The remaining offenses included 11 robberies, seven rapes, four arsons, one murder and one human trafficking offense.

City police reported six robberies, four rapes, one arson and one human trafficking offense.

The Sheriff’s Office reported five robberies, three rapes, three arsons and the county’s only murder listed in the report.
Together, theft, burglary and motor vehicle theft accounted for 739 offenses, approximately 86 percent of the combined total.

The report lists 141 offenses cleared by the two agencies, producing a combined clearance rate of 16.4 percent. A clearance does not necessarily mean a conviction, and offenses cleared during a reporting year may have been reported in an earlier year.

While city police recorded the larger overall number, the agency breakdown should not be treated as an exact geographic division between offenses inside and outside city limits without reviewing individual incident locations.

The figures cover the crime categories listed in the report and do not represent every offense, service call or investigation handled by local law enforcement.

They also do not establish whether crime increased or decreased from the previous year.
