College Station Jail Roster Lookup

The College Station jail roster reflects current inmates at the Brazos County Jail, which is the facility that holds people arrested in College Station. College Station police make arrests within city limits, but the county handles all detention. The inmate search shows booking information, charges, and bond status for people currently in custody. College Station has a population of about 120,000 and is home to Texas A&M University, which means law enforcement activity is spread across both the city and the university police agency. This page explains how to find the right jail roster, who to contact, and how to stay notified about inmate status changes.

Finding College Station Inmates

When College Station police arrest someone, that person goes to the Brazos County Jail in Bryan. The Brazos County Sheriff's Office runs the facility, which serves both College Station and Bryan as well as the rest of the county. Search by last name and you will see current inmates with booking dates and charge descriptions.

The Brazos County Jail also holds people arrested by Texas A&M University Police, constables, and state troopers working in the area. Bond amounts appear on most entries. If someone was arrested but is no longer on the roster, they may have posted bond, been released, or been transferred. People serving longer sentences may appear in the TDCJ inmate search rather than the county roster.
