What the Roster Contains
Each record on the Atascosa County jail roster has a booking number, the inmate's full name and date of birth, a booking photo, charges by offense name or statute, bond amount, and booking date. Some entries also list the arresting agency and expected release date when available. Bond is set by a magistrate at the initial hearing, which must occur within 48 hours of arrest under the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure.
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards oversees compliance with booking and record-keeping standards at county jails. Medical records and active investigation materials may be withheld, but basic custody and charge information is public.
Bond and Release
After booking at Atascosa County Jail, a magistrate sets bond at the initial appearance. Misdemeanors may qualify for bail schedule release. Felony charges require a full hearing. Bond can be paid at the jail or through a licensed bondsman. Once paid, the inmate is processed out and removed from the active roster. Given the 40% monthly turnover, this process happens many times a day at this facility.
