Exactly how to use the official route

- Open the official Inmate and Bond Information Line + Central Magistrate published or designated by Bexar County Sheriff's Office. Use only the identifiers accepted by that service and verify the jurisdiction before relying on a same-name result.

- If the county route is blank, follow the no-result decision tree before moving to Texas Department of Criminal Justice or the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Check booking and intake timing
A very recent arrest may not appear until identity review, fingerprinting, medical screening, classification, and the agency record are complete.
Retry only the accepted identifiers
Full name and date of birth for the phone line; recent booking fields on Central Magistrate
Check release, transfer, and regional housing
A current-custody service can stop showing a person after release or transfer. Court movement, medical transport, contract housing, or a regional jail can also change the responsible agency.
Use Texas Department of Criminal Justice only after a state commitment
Open TDCJ Inmate Search after sentencing, admission, or a documented transfer to state corrections. A blank county result alone does not establish state-prison custody.
Use the federal locator only for confirmed federal placement
A local arrest does not automatically create a Federal Bureau of Prisons record. Use the BOP locator after a federal sentence or confirmed BOP placement.
Call the published public contact for urgent confirmation
Call 210-335-6201 and ask Bexar County Sheriff's Office about the current custody route. Provide the full legal name and any booking, case, or agency identifier you already have.
County jail, state prison, federal custody, and court records are separate
| Situation | Correct starting point | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Recent local arrest or local detention | Bexar County Sheriff's Office — Inmate and Bond Information Line + Central Magistrate | Current custody information by phone and recent magistrate/booking information online |
| Confirmed Texas state sentence or transfer | Texas Department of Criminal Justice — TDCJ Inmate Search | The public online search is not a county-jail locator and focuses on current TDCJ incarceration |
| Confirmed federal sentence or BOP placement | Federal Bureau of Prisons locator guide | County and state systems do not replace the BOP locator. |
| Charges, hearing dates, disposition, certified records | Official court case-access or clerk system | An inmate roster is not a complete or certified court docket. |
