Booking at the Andrews County Jail
Every arrest on an Andrews County charge ends at the intake desk at 790 SE 401, Andrews, TX 79714. Deputies on 432-523-5545 can say whether the person has arrived and how far intake has gone.
Steps after arrival
- Turned over to the jail. Jail officers take custody from the arresting deputy or officer, collect the charging papers and search the arrestee.
- Identity, photo and prints. Staff fingerprint and photograph the arrestee and assign the booking number relatives will be asked for later.
- Belongings. The jail lists what the person had on them and locks it up. Whether a relative can collect any of it, and when, is a question for 432-523-5545.
- Health questions. Texas jail standards call for an intake screening for medical needs, mental illness and suicide risk. If mental illness is suspected, Article 16.22 gives the jail 12 hours to notify a magistrate.
- First call. When a new arrestee can first use the phone depends on how intake goes; ask 432-523-5545. Our phone page explains the CIDNET account JE lists for this jail.
- Magistrate hearing. Within 48 hours a magistrate explains the charge and rights, takes any request for appointed counsel, and sets bail and conditions.

How soon after an arrest will the jail say the person is there?
Usually as soon as intake begins, often before the person shows up online. A call to 432-523-5545 is faster than waiting on IVSS-Counties or the records portal.
Who sets bail after an Andrews County booking?
A magistrate sets it at the Article 15.17 hearing, which Texas law requires inside two days. On a felony, Judge John L. Pool's 109th District standing order attaches extra conditions, among them no new offenses and no contact with the victim.
Can a lawyer be requested right away?
Yes: tell the magistrate at that first hearing. Andrews County's Request for Appointment of Counsel and Determination of Indigence asks about income, debts and the people in the household.
How do families get a copy of an arrest report?
Use the online records request the county set up for the Sheriff (Sheriff records request); material tied to an open case can be withheld.
What court will handle the charge?
That depends on the level of the offense: felonies are heard in the 109th District Court (432-524-1419), the County Clerk (432-524-1426) dockets Class A and B cases, and Class C citations written by city police are heard at the municipal court on Logsdon Street (432-524-2791). See our court guide.
