Where can I find jail records from Houston in 1921?

Hello everyone,

I am researching my great-grandfather’s history. According to U.S. federal records, in March 1921 he was arrested in Houston for “peddling balloons without county license” and spent 7 days in jail.

I have already contacted the local court and the Houston Police Department, but they told me that they no longer have documentation from that period.

Could anyone please tell me which jails were operating in Houston in the 1920s, and if there is an institution or archive where I could ask whether records from that time are still preserved?

This research is very important to me because I am reconstructing my late father’s family history. Any help or indication would mean a lot.

Thank you very much.
