Search the Tom Green County Jail Roster

Go to the Tom Green County Sheriff's Office website to access the online inmate search. You can look up current inmates by last name or booking number.

The Jail Exchange site is another useful resource that covers both city and county jail details for the San Angelo area.

What the Tom Green County Roster Contains

Each entry on the Tom Green County jail roster includes the inmate's full name, date of birth, booking number, and a photo when available. Charges are listed by offense name or statute.

Juvenile records are not included in the public roster. Some information may be withheld if an active investigation is involved.

Note: The roster updates as new bookings occur, so a recent arrest may take a short time to appear in the online search results.
