Lookup Atascosa County Jail Inmates

Atascosa County Jail Overview

The Atascosa County Jail operates through the Atascosa County Sheriff's Office. Sheriff Jake Guerra is listed as County Sheriff on the official page, and the jail operation is housed with the Sheriff's Office at 1108 Campbell Avenue in Jourdanton. The facility is an adult county jail. It holds local pretrial detainees, misdemeanor and felony detainees, sentenced county-jail inmates, bench-warrant inmates, parole violators, state-jail or TDCJ paper-ready inmates, and other agency holds when those appear in county reporting.

No official source located a separate adult jail annex, work-release center, city jail roster, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center in Atascosa County. That means the Atascosa County Jail page is the primary adult facility page for this project. Municipal police departments in Jourdanton, Poteet, Pleasanton, and Lytle can be part of the arrest path, but the county jail is the key custody point after a local adult arrest.

Atascosa Jail Capacity

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population workbook for June 2026 reports Atascosa County Jail capacity as 250 beds. The research also extracted recent population examples from TCJS current workbooks, including totals around 198 to 229 and rate-workbook ADP values around 219 to 223 in several 2026 rows. TCJS data is county-submitted and should be cited by workbook date rather than treated as a live custody count.

The TCJS population reports page is the official source for the workbooks used to track the Atascosa County inmate population, while the current non-compliant jails page did not show Atascosa as currently listed during research. A historical August 2023 non-compliance PDF was located, so any current claim should be checked against the latest TCJS list.

Find Atascosa Jail Inmates

No official online roster or public inmate-profile search was located for Atascosa County Jail. Current inmate lookup is therefore handled through the Sheriff page's direct phone routing. Booking/Inmate Information is the first stop for recent arrest and custody confirmation. Jail Records is the better route for record questions. Open Records and Reports are the route when the item must be requested as a public record.

1. Call Booking/Inmate Information at 830-769-3434 ext. 2231 for current custody or a recent booking.
2. Provide the full name, date of birth or age if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and possible charge.
3. Ask whether the person is still held at Atascosa County Jail, released, transferred, or held for another agency.
4. Call Jail Records at ext. 2239 for jail-record questions or Open Records at ext. 2243 for formal record-request routing.
5. Use TDCJ, BOP, or ICE lookup tools only when the jail path no longer covers the person's custody status.

The facility lookup process is also covered on the Atascosa County inmate records page, including record fields and the state/federal lookup split.

Atascosa Jail Address

The official Sheriff page lists the jail and Sheriff's Office at the same Campbell Avenue address and gives 24-hour operation. It also gives front-office and jail nurse fax numbers, emergency routing, public records extensions, command staff, and jail-specific extension routing. Calls should be routed by topic because the booking, jail records, reports, civil process, commissary, and open-records functions have different extensions.

The Sheriff's page is shown in the captured source image below. It is the local source for the jail address, booking records, visitation, money, bond fee, and mail-procedure link.

Use the page as the starting point for current phone routing before sending mail, money, or a public-record request.

Atascosa Jail Visitation

Atascosa County Jail visitation changed effective July 1, 2023. The general public visitation windows are in the afternoon and early evening. Female and male visitation are separated by day. Visitors must be on the inmate's visitation list, and visitors who are 16 or older need valid state or school-issued identification. The Sheriff advises visitors to ask about current dress code before the visit.

A visitor should confirm that the person is still at Atascosa County Jail before traveling. Release, court transport, medical transfer, TDCJ transfer, or another agency hold can change the visit path even when a person was recently booked.

Atascosa Jail Mail Money

The Sheriff page links an inmate-mail procedure PDF and gives several money rules directly on the public jail page. Money orders may be sent through the mail payable to Inmate Trust and must be clearly marked INMATE TRUST FUND or they will be returned. Cash must not be mailed. Cash and money orders may not be dropped off at the jail.

The Sheriff page does not identify a video-visit vendor, tablet vendor, phone vendor, commissary order limit, or deposit fee schedule. Do not assume a national vendor applies to Atascosa County Jail unless the jail confirms it.

Atascosa Jail Bond Release

Bond status is part of jail custody, but the jail record is not the same as a court finding. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure chapter 17 governs bond and release issues statewide. The Sheriff page gives one local fee: State Bond Fee of $15 per surety bond, maximum $30, exact cash or money orders only. That fee is not the total bond amount. Actual bond amount, eligibility, and release conditions are set by a magistrate, court, warrant, or holding authority.

1. Call Booking/Inmate Information or Jail Records to confirm custody and bond status.
2. Ask whether bond is available, what type applies, and whether another hold blocks release.
3. Confirm where payment must be made and what forms of payment are accepted.
4. Account for the posted surety bond state fee if using a surety bond.
5. Plan around the posted daily release times of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Atascosa Jail Intake Transfer

Booking at Atascosa County Jail may involve identity checks, property inventory, booking paperwork, warrant checks, fingerprints or a booking photo if required, medical and mental-health screening, and classification. A person can be booked by the Sheriff, local police, DPS, a constable, or another peace officer. Article 15.17 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure controls the magistrate-warning stage after arrest, where rights, accusation, counsel issues, and bail may be addressed.

A sentenced Texas prisoner does not stay in the local jail record system forever. After conviction and sentencing, a person sentenced to TDCJ may remain in the county jail until paperwork and transport are complete. After TDCJ intake and classification, lookup shifts to the TDCJ Inmate Information Search. Federal sentences, USMS custody questions, and ICE detention use separate systems from the Atascosa County Jail.

Atascosa Jail Oversight

Adult county jail oversight in Texas runs through the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. Government Code chapter 511 creates TCJS authority, and Local Government Code chapter 351 addresses county jail responsibilities. TCJS minimum standards cover areas such as intake, release, supervision, health services, classification, sanitation, commissary, discipline, and other operations. The county's juvenile detention department has separate PREA and grievance postings, but juvenile detention is not part of this adult Atascosa County Jail page.

Local county support context includes Atascosa County Mental Health Services, which describes counseling, psychiatric support, crisis response, community support, and an 81st District Mental Health Court. Those services are not a published adult jail program list. They are local justice and treatment context, and adult jail program details should be confirmed with the jail before being treated as available to a particular inmate.
