Uvalde County Jail Roster Status
No official public Uvalde County Jail online roster, booking report, inmate-search portal, or current-inmate list was located on the official sheriff page, the county site, the 38th Judicial District Attorney site, or the reviewed court pages. That finding drives the record workflow. The online search box cannot be treated as the county jail roster, and Uvalde County inmate records should not be described as if they appear in a sheriff-run public database.
The sheriff's office is still the primary local source for current jail custody. The official county page names Sheriff Ruben Nolasco and lists the Uvalde County Sheriff's Department at 339 King Fisher Lane, Box 1, Uvalde, TX 78801, phone (830) 278-4111, and sheriff@uvaldecounty.gov. The 38th Judicial District Attorney law-enforcement contact list also lists the sheriff at 339 King Fisher Lane with 830-591-9000.
The Uvalde County sheriff page screenshot shows the official sheriff contact block used for custody and records routing.
That contact block is more important for Uvalde than it would be in a county with a public jail roster.
How to Check Uvalde County Inmates
A Uvalde County inmate lookup starts with identifying the likely custodian. If the person was arrested by Uvalde Police Department, Sabinal Police Department, sheriff deputies, DPS, or another local agency and remains detained locally, Uvalde County Jail is the first call. If the person has been sentenced to prison, transferred to federal custody, or held for immigration reasons, a different locator is needed.
- Call the sheriff or jail contact at (830) 278-4111 and ask for custody or booking information.
- Use the alternate official sheriff phone listed by the DA page, 830-591-9000, if the main line does not route the call.
- Give the person's full name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, and arresting agency.
- Ask whether the person is in custody, still in booking, released, transferred, or held on a detainer.
- Ask whether bond has been set and which court will receive the case.
- If phone disclosure is limited, send a written Texas Public Information Act request for existing booking records.
Uvalde County Roster Search Fields
The Uvalde County inmate records research did not locate an official roster form with searchable fields. The table therefore records the absence of county roster fields and the practical identifiers to use when calling or writing. This avoids implying that Uvalde County publishes a last-name search page when the official sources reviewed did not show one.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| County roster form | Not applicable | Not applicable | No official public Uvalde County roster/search form was located. |
| Full legal name | Phone or written request identifier | Strongly recommended | Needed to distinguish common names. |
| Date of birth | Phone or written request identifier | If known | May help staff identify the right person. |
| Approximate arrest date | Phone or written request identifier | If known | Helps connect the request to a booking event. |
| Arresting agency | Phone or written request identifier | If known | Useful when city, county, DPS, or federal agencies may be involved. |
Uvalde County Inmate Profile Fields
No official Uvalde public inmate profile page could be inspected, so the field list should be used as a request checklist rather than a promise of online display. Ask for the existing booking sheet, jail log entry, custody status, and release information that the sheriff can lawfully provide. Court-created fields may not exist until a prosecutor or clerk opens a case.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Full name or aliases | Confirms the person located is the correct detainee. |
| Date of birth or age | Helps distinguish similar names, though some details may be redacted. |
| Booking number | Local jail identifier if assigned by the sheriff. |
| Booking date and time | Shows when jail intake began and whether the case may still be processing. |
| Arresting agency | Points follow-up records to sheriff, Uvalde PD, Sabinal PD, DPS, or another agency. |
| Charges at booking | Initial allegations, warrants, or holds that may later change in court. |
| Bond amount or type | Cash, surety, personal bond, no bond, or other court-set release status. |
| Hold or detainer | Explains why a person may remain held despite local bond. |
| Release status | In custody, released, transferred, sentenced, or held elsewhere. |
| Booking photo | Not found published online by Uvalde County; request by PIA if needed and releasable. |
Request Uvalde Booking Records
When a phone call does not answer the record question, a written Texas Public Information Act request is the next official route. The Texas Attorney General public information request guide says requests must be in writing, must go to the governmental body believed to maintain the information, and must seek existing records rather than new answers or legal research.
The likely governmental body for Uvalde jail booking records is the Uvalde County Sheriff's Department. A focused request should name the person, give an arrest or booking date if known, identify the records sought, and include a delivery method. If the sheriff contends an exception applies, Texas PIA procedure may involve an Attorney General open-records decision.

The PIA path is especially important when no official county roster gives the public a self-service search form.
Uvalde County vs TDCJ Records
Uvalde County inmate records and TDCJ inmate records answer different questions. County records focus on booking, jail custody, bond, release, and local transfer status. TDCJ records focus on sentenced state custody, assigned unit, offense and sentence detail, projected release, and parole review information. Searching TDCJ for a fresh Uvalde booking can miss the person because they have not entered state custody.
| Custody | Where to Look | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Uvalde pretrial or local jail | Sheriff phone, written PIA request, IVSS-Counties if participating | Current local custody, bond, booking record |
| Sentenced state prisoner | TDCJ inmate search | State prison location and sentence fields |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator or USMS district contact context | Federal prison custody or history |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE detention searches for adults where data is available |

Booking Process in Uvalde County
After arrest, the person may be transported to Uvalde County Jail or another appropriate holding point. Jail intake commonly includes identification, records checks, search, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photograph if required by agency procedure, medical screening, and classification. Classification means the jail's risk and needs assessment for housing and supervision.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 requires an arrested person to be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay and no later than 48 hours after arrest. That magistration stage addresses rights, accusation, probable cause issues, counsel, and bond conditions. A person may be hard to confirm by phone while intake or magistration is still pending.
Uvalde County Jail Visiting
The reviewed official Uvalde sheriff materials did not publish jail visitation hours, visitor approval steps, dress code, child visitor rules, video visitation vendor, attorney visit process, or holiday procedures. Do not rely on third-party jail directory claims for these details. Call the sheriff or jail before traveling.
| Facility | Schedule | Source Status |
|---|---|---|
| Uvalde County Jail | Not located in official sources | Call (830) 278-4111 before visiting. |
Note: Ask about current visitation status, ID, dress code, property, medication, legal mail, and approved money methods before arrival.
Uvalde Jail Mail and Money
Official Uvalde sources reviewed did not publish a mail format, inmate phone vendor, commissary vendor, online deposit link, kiosk location, or fee schedule. That gap should be stated plainly. Do not assume Securus, GTL, ViaPath, NCIC, HomeWAV, or another vendor without an official Uvalde source.
| Service | Published Detail | Safe Next Step |
|---|---|---|
| No official mail format located | Call before sending mail, books, photos, packages, money, or legal documents. | |
| Phone calls | No official phone vendor located | Confirm vendor and account setup with the jail. |
| Commissary and deposits | No official vendor or fee table located | Ask about approved deposit methods and fees. |
Bond and Holds in Uvalde County
Bond may be cash, surety through a licensed bail bond company, personal bond, or no bond. A hold or detainer from another county, TDCJ, parole, ICE, federal court, or a warrant can prevent release even when local bond appears available. Since Uvalde County does not publish a local bond desk page in the reviewed official sources, confirm payment location, payment methods, hours, and release timing directly with the jail or court.
Important: Jail booking charges can differ from prosecutor-filed charges, so follow the court record after custody is confirmed.
