Reeves County Jail Overview
Reeves County Sheriff's Office
The Reeves County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail in Pecos. Reeves County is located in West Texas along Interstate 20 and is known for being one of the state's larger counties by land area. The jail holds people arrested on misdemeanor and felony charges who are waiting for trial or serving sentences of less than a year. Booking includes fingerprints, a photo, medical screening, and housing classification. Once processed, each person appears on the jail roster.
The roster is public information under the Texas Public Information Act. It reflects who is currently in custody. If you need records of someone who has already been released, a formal public information request is required. The Sheriff's Office must respond within 10 business days under Texas law. Given its location near the US-Mexico border region, federal agencies may also make referrals. The jail complies with all standards set by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. The results show names, charges, bond amounts, and booking dates. The site is updated regularly as new bookings are added.
You can also check Jail Exchange for facility details and links to any online inmate search tool offered by the Reeves County Sheriff's Office. If you cannot find what you need online, call the jail directly. Staff can confirm whether someone is in custody and give you basic booking information over the phone.
For people moved to state prison after sentencing, use the TDCJ Inmate Search. The county roster only covers people held at the county level.
Roster Details and Data Fields
The Reeves County jail roster includes the inmate's full name, booking number, date of birth, charges, and bond amount when set. The booking date tells you when the person arrived at the facility. Some records also show the arresting agency, housing unit, and a booking photo when available.
Under the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, this type of basic booking information is public record. You do not need to submit a formal request to see it. However, certain details may be withheld if they relate to an active criminal investigation, involve a juvenile, or fall under another exemption recognized by the Texas Public Information Act.
Visiting Inmates in Reeves County
Visiting an inmate at the Reeves County Jail requires valid government-issued photo ID. All visitors must follow facility rules on dress and conduct. Minors must come with an adult. Visits may need to be scheduled in advance, so call the jail before making the trip to Pecos to confirm current visitation hours and requirements.
Mail to inmates must include the inmate's full name and booking number. All incoming mail is inspected for contraband. Plain letters and photographs are generally accepted; cash, stamps, and packages are not. For commissary fund deposits, ask the jail about approved deposit methods, which often include online, phone, and kiosk options through a third-party provider.
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards sets baseline rules for visitation and inmate communications in all Texas county jails, including Reeves County.
Bond Process in Reeves County
Magistrates set bond amounts for Reeves County inmates. Misdemeanor charges may allow for release based on a bail schedule right after booking. Felony cases require a formal magistrate hearing within 48 hours. Once bond is paid, the inmate is released and removed from the active roster. You can post bond in cash at the jail or use a licensed bail bondsman.
After case disposition, bond funds are returned by court order. For people serving state sentences, the TDCJ Inmate Search tracks their location. The Texas DPS Crime Records Division handles statewide criminal history requests.
VINE Victim Notification
Reeves County participates in the VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) system. You can register at VINELink to receive automatic alerts when an inmate is released, transferred, or escapes. Alerts can be sent by phone, email, or text. The service is free, confidential, and available around the clock.
Note: VINE tracks custody changes but does not display the same information as the active jail roster. Use both tools together for the most complete picture.
