Locate Uvalde County Jail Inmates

Uvalde County Jail Overview

Uvalde County Jail is operated by the Uvalde County Sheriff's Department under Sheriff Ruben Nolasco. The official sheriff page lists the sheriff and jail contact at 339 King Fisher Lane, Box 1, Uvalde, TX 78801. The jail is a TCJS-regulated county jail for adult local custody, not a TDCJ state prison, federal BOP prison, or ICE detention center.

People held at Uvalde County Jail may include adult pretrial detainees, convicted misdemeanants serving local time, bench-warrant cases, parole-violator categories, state jail felony categories, TDCJ-sentenced categories awaiting transfer when present, and other holds reported through TCJS categories. The June 1, 2026 TCJS row reported no federal inmates and no contract inmates for Uvalde, but those report categories do not create separate local facilities.

Uvalde County Jail Population

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population workbook reported Uvalde County Jail with 218 rated beds and 185 total jail population on June 1, 2026. The same row showed about 84.9 percent of capacity and 4 housed-elsewhere inmates. TCJS notes that county facilities submit the underlying data, so the workbook is an official report but not a live booking list.

Look Up Uvalde County Jail Custody

No official Uvalde County Jail online roster was found in the reviewed official sources. That means the correct lookup path is a fallback chain, not a roster click. Start with the sheriff or jail phone, then move to written public-information requests or notification systems. If the person has been transferred, the search must follow the receiving system.

1. Call the Uvalde County Sheriff's Department at (830) 278-4111 and ask for custody or booking information.
2. Use the DA law-enforcement listing number, 830-591-9000, if you need an alternate official route to the sheriff.
3. Provide full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency.
4. Ask whether the person is booked, still in intake, released, transferred, or held on a detainer.
5. Send a written Texas PIA request for existing booking records if staff cannot disclose the record by phone.
6. Check Texas IVSS-Counties for county notifications, TDCJ for state prison, BOP for federal custody, and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.

Uvalde County Jail Contact

The official county sheriff page is the strongest contact source for Uvalde County Jail. It lists the sheriff's department address, phone, and email. The DA law-enforcement page repeats the King Fisher Lane location and gives a second official phone listing. For custody status, bond, records requests, visitation, and mail questions, use the sheriff or jail contact before relying on outside directories.

The 38th Judicial District Attorney law-enforcement contact page lists Uvalde County Sheriff's Office with local law-enforcement contacts.

That page is useful when distinguishing sheriff custody from city police or other agency contacts.

Visit Uvalde County Jail

The official Uvalde sheriff page reviewed did not publish jail visitation hours, visitor approval procedure, remote video vendor, visitor dress code, child-visitor rules, attorney visit rules, or holiday changes. Because no schedule was located, do not travel based on a third-party listing. Call the jail and ask whether visits are active, what ID is accepted, which entrance to use, and whether property, phones, bags, medication, or paperwork can be brought inside.

Note: Official materials did not list visitor parking, ADA entry instructions, lockers, or public-transit routing for the jail.

Mail, Phone, and Money

No official Uvalde County Jail mail policy, inmate phone vendor, commissary vendor, deposit vendor, kiosk location, online deposit URL, or fee table was located. The safe practice is to confirm current rules with the jail before sending anything. Mail sent in the wrong format, books from an unapproved source, cash, photos, medication, or packages may be rejected if they do not match current jail procedure.

Uvalde Jail Booking Intake

A local arrest can be made by sheriff deputies, Uvalde Police Department, Sabinal Police Department, DPS, constables, school police, federal agents, or another agency. If the person remains locally detained, Uvalde County Jail is the primary county facility identified. Intake can include identity checks, warrants, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photo, medical screening, and housing classification.

Article 15.17 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure requires an arrested person to be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay and no later than 48 hours after arrest. At that stage, rights, accusation, probable cause, counsel, and bond conditions are addressed. A booking record may exist before a court case number appears.

Bond and Release at Uvalde Jail

Uvalde County does not publish a jail bond page, bond desk hours, accepted payment methods, or online bond payment instructions in the official sources reviewed. Call the jail to confirm whether bond has been set, whether it is cash, surety, personal, or no bond, and whether another hold prevents release. If a court or clerk controls the payment step, ask the jail which office should be contacted.

Uvalde Jail to Court Records

Jail booking charges are not final court charges. For adult felonies, the 38th Judicial District Attorney, Christina Mitchell, serves Real and Uvalde Counties and prosecutes adult felonies in the district. District criminal filings route through the district court and district clerk. City matters may route to Uvalde Municipal Court, depending on the charge type.

For charges after release or transfer, contact the clerk of the court handling the case. The Uvalde County District Clerk page describes the clerk as custodian of district court pleadings and papers. The jail can confirm custody and initial booking information, but court records after a jail arrest are maintained by the court clerk.

Uvalde Jail Oversight

TCJS regulates Texas county jails, including Uvalde County Jail. The research found a TCJS notice of non-compliance dated January 14, 2026. The notice cited 37 TAC section 283.3(3), which concerns written grievance-board response timelines, including a maximum final response time and interim response timing. This is a jail-conditions and grievance-process fact, not a roster or inmate-search feature.

Historic address references can also confuse Uvalde jail research. Texas Historical Commission material identifies an older Uvalde County Jail at 121 E. Nopal Street, but the current official sheriff and jail contact in the county source is King Fisher Lane. Use King Fisher Lane for current custody, visits, and records requests.
