Travis County Jail Roster

The Travis County jail roster shows all people currently in custody at the Travis County Correctional Complex in Del Valle, which serves Austin and the surrounding area. You can search by name, booking number, or date of birth to find an inmate's charges, bond amount, and custody status. The Travis County Sheriff's Office runs the facility and keeps the roster updated in real time. Austin Police transfers arrestees to the Travis County Jail, so anyone detained within city limits shows up on the same county roster. This page explains how to search those records and what information each listing includes.

Travis County Sheriff's Office Jail Division

The Travis County Sheriff's Office operates the Travis County Correctional Complex (TCCC) at 3614 Bill Price Road in Del Valle. This is the main detention facility serving Austin and unincorporated Travis County. The complex houses pre-trial detainees and sentenced inmates across multiple housing units organized by security level and classification. It is one of the larger county jail facilities in Central Texas.

When someone is arrested in Austin or anywhere in Travis County, they are transported to the Correctional Complex for booking. The booking process includes fingerprints, a booking photo, a medical intake screening, and housing classification. After booking is complete, the inmate appears in the online jail roster. Austin Police Department arrestees all come through this same process. For older booking records or documents not shown online, you can submit a request under the Texas Public Information Act.

The Travis County Jail serves the state capital region. It is a large facility that must handle a high volume of bookings from Austin and surrounding communities. Operations are governed by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, which sets minimum rules for all county jails in the state.

How to Search the Travis County Jail Roster

The Travis County Sheriff's Office provides an online inmate search on its website. You can search by name, booking number, or date of birth. Results include the inmate's name, booking photo, booking number, charges, bond amount, and booking date. The database updates in real time as new bookings are entered into the system. This is a good option if you want a quick look at recent arrests without navigating the county website directly.

If you do not find the person online, they may have been released, transferred to another facility, or the booking record may still be processing. Call (512) 854-4100 to confirm custody status with jail staff directly.

What Travis County Jail Records Show

Each entry on the Travis County jail roster includes the inmate's full name, date of birth, and booking number. A booking photo is shown when available. Charges are listed by offense name or statute, and bond amounts appear once the court has set them. The booking date and time are included, along with the arresting agency in most cases.

New bookings may be missing bond amounts if a magistrate hearing has not yet occurred. Under the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, most basic booking information is public. Juvenile records are not included. Records tied to active investigations may have limited information available until charges are formally filed.

Note: The roster is updated as bookings occur, so a recent arrest may not appear immediately if processing is still ongoing.

Visitation at Travis County Correctional Complex

Travis County Jail offers both on-site and remote video visitation. Visitors can schedule visits at the facility's visitation center in Del Valle or from a home computer through the visitation provider. All visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Visitors must create an account through the provider's website to schedule and confirm visits.

Every visitor must present valid government-issued photo ID. Visitors under 17 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. All visitors are subject to search, and personal belongings must be stored in lockers before entering. Each visit is 30 minutes long, and visitors should arrive 15 minutes early. Clothing that resembles inmate attire or gang-related apparel is not permitted. Call (512) 854-4100 to confirm current visitation policies before your visit.

Bond and Release at Travis County Jail

The Travis County Bond Office operates 24 hours a day. Bond can be posted in cash, by cashier's check, money order, or through a licensed surety bond agent. Bond amounts are set by a magistrate at the first court appearance, which must occur within 48 hours of arrest. Once bond is posted, the release process takes roughly one to three hours depending on how busy the facility is.

If a personal recognizance bond is approved by a judge, the inmate may be released without payment. Property bonds require court approval and additional steps. Once an inmate is released, they no longer appear on the active roster. Bond refunds are processed after the case is concluded. Contact (512) 854-4180 for bonding questions.

Inmates who are transferred to state custody after sentencing can be located through the TDCJ Inmate Search. Travis County also participates in VINE notifications for victims. You can register at VINELink or call 1-877-894-8463 to sign up for alerts.

Mail, Commissary, and Inmate Accounts

Mail sent to Travis County Jail inmates should be addressed with the inmate's name and booking number to: Travis County Jail, 3614 Bill Price Road, Del Valle, TX 78617. All mail is opened and inspected. Acceptable items include letters on plain paper and photographs no larger than 4x6 inches. Prohibited items include packages, cash, stamps, envelopes, and magazines not sent directly from the publisher.

Inmates can receive funds through online deposits, phone deposits, lobby kiosks, or money orders. Funds are held in individual trust accounts and used for commissary and phone calls. The commissary provides snacks, hygiene items, stationery, and approved personal goods. Orders are placed through the inmate kiosk system and delivered on scheduled days by housing unit.

The Texas Administrative Code Chapter 265 governs mail and communication standards for county jails statewide.

VINE Victim Notification

Travis County participates in the VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) system. Victims and concerned parties can register at VINELink or by calling 1-877-894-8463 to receive automatic alerts when an inmate's custody status changes. The system sends notifications by phone, email, or TTY when someone is released, transferred, or escapes. The service is free, confidential, and available 24 hours a day.

Note: VINE operates separately from the live jail roster and covers status changes at both the Travis County Jail and state TDCJ facilities.

Public Records Requests

For records not available through the online roster, submit a public information request to the Travis County Sheriff's Office Records Division. Requests can be made online, by mail, or in person. The Texas Public Information Act (Chapter 552) requires a response within 10 business days. Basic booking information is public. Some records may be withheld if they involve security concerns, medical information, or other legal exemptions.

Court records for Travis County criminal cases are filed with the District Clerk in Austin. The Texas Courts system provides resources for accessing court case information. The DPS Crime Records Division also maintains statewide criminal history data for background research purposes.
