Every adult arrested in Atascosa County, from Charlotte, Christine, Jourdanton, Lytle, Pleasanton, Poteet or the ranch country between them, is booked into the Sheriff’s jail at 1108 Campbell Ave., Jourdanton, TX 78026, which answers 24 hours a day at 830-769-3434 (Booking ext. 2231). Sheriff Jake Guerra oversees it with Jail Captain Dylan Wynns and Deputy Chief–Jail Yerenni Quintero, and state inspectors certify 250 beds. Releases happen at 8 AM and 10 PM.
Jourdanton has three habits newcomers trip over. Jourdanton never receives personal letters: they go, with name and SO#, to PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606 for scanning, on 8.5 x 11 paper, five pages at most, front side only, and a letter with a photo is returned whole. The jail takes no cash or money orders at the window: use the lobby kiosks or mail a money order marked INMATE TRUST FUND. And visiting days are split by sex, so women and men have different days.
Anyone under 17 charged as a juvenile goes to the Atascosa County Juvenile Justice Center instead, and adults with prison sentences stay in Jourdanton until TDCJ collects them.
