Bandera County Jail Inmate Search
Bandera County Inmate Search Options
The Sheriff posts no roster, so a Bandera County custody check runs through IVSS County Inmate Search, the TDCJ lookup for county jails. Choose Bandera County and type the name; results confirm custody and the holding jail, update whenever the Highway 173 staff log a booking, release or move, and include an optional free release notice (help 866-268-8959).
Arrested today or just released
Jailers at 830-796-7759 see a booking as soon as intake begins and give the SO booking number, the charges and the bond a magistrate sets within 48 hours. That SO number must appear on letters sent to the PO Box 591 Longview scanner, or the letter comes back.
Moved from Bandera County to Another Agency
Prison-bound Bandera County defendants appear in the state’s TDCJ inmate directory after transfer. U.S. Marshals or federal prison: the federal BOP finder. Immigration (ICE) custody: the ICE locator.
Criminal cases in the 198th District Court and county court can be searched free by name on iDocket, showing cause number, filing date, bond company and disposition.
