Search Crockett County Released Inmates

Crockett County Release Meanings

“Released” describes the end of custody by one agency. At Crockett County Jail, it may reflect a posted bond, personal bond, time served, completion of a county sentence, dismissal, or court-directed release. It can also be an administrative label for a transfer. A person sent to TDCJ, another county, USMS, or ICE has left the Ozona jail but has not necessarily returned to the community.

The destination controls the next search. Community release may include bond conditions, probation, parole, or mandatory supervision. Transfer means another custodian now holds the person. Discharge is generally the end of a sentence or supervision term, though the exact record and legal effect depend on the authority. A release record should be read beside the court disposition and any receiving-agency record.

Crockett County Release Record Fields

The sheriff’s jail-management record is the strongest source for the physical departure from Crockett County Jail. Exact labels depend on the system, and no public row-level release view was found on the official sheriff page. A well-scoped request asks for the existing booking and release record instead of asking staff to create a new report.

A booking charge is not a conviction. A court order may authorize release before jail processing ends. Likewise, a newspaper date or notification time may differ from the jail-door timestamp. Label each date by its source and event.

Request Crockett County Release Records

The Crockett County Sheriff’s Office is the local custodian for jail booking and release transactions. It lists Sheriff Victor De La Garza, 121 S. Highway 163, P.O. Box 1931, Ozona, Texas 76943, phone 325-392-2661, and fax 325-392-2045. No dedicated sheriff public-information form, online release fee, or records-office hours were located. Confirm the current submission method and estimate before sending payment or traveling.

1. Identify the person with full name, known date of birth, booking or cause number, and a narrow date range.
2. Request named existing records: booking sheet, release transaction, release authority, destination, bond data, and booking photograph if needed and lawfully available.
3. Ask for electronic copies where available and request an estimate before production.
4. If information is withheld, retain the written response and any cited exception or Attorney General ruling process.
5. Use the correct clerk separately for court orders, judgments, and dispositions.

Texas Government Code chapter 552 requires prompt handling, but ten business days is not a universal production deadline. If production cannot occur within ten business days, the governmental body provides written certification and a reasonable production date. When a body seeks an Attorney General decision under section 552.301, its deadline concerns the ruling process, not automatic production. The Texas Attorney General request guide explains the process, while the sheriff remains the custodian.

Charges may include lawful copy, labor, programming, or overhead costs in defined circumstances. An estimate and related notice generally apply when anticipated charges exceed $40. Narrow requests often reduce both delay and cost. The Public Information Act requires access to existing records; it does not require an office to answer questions, perform research, or create a custom release report.

Crockett Release Access Limits

Public access has boundaries. Government Code chapter 552 includes exceptions for information made confidential by law, qualifying law-enforcement interests, motor-vehicle identifiers, and access-device data. Section 552.108(c) preserves basic information about an arrested person, arrest, or crime in many circumstances, but “basic information” does not mean every requested document or photograph. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, medical, victim-identifying, and other protected information requires separate treatment.

Texas Code of Criminal Procedure chapter 55A contains eligibility-specific expunction routes. A granted order can direct covered entities to destroy, delete, return, or restrict records. Nondisclosure under Government Code chapter 411 differs because it limits public disclosure of covered criminal-history information without erasing all lawful government access. The Texas Judicial Branch forms help identify the statute-specific process. Neither a dismissal nor the passage of time alone proves that all records must disappear.

Judicial records do not follow the executive-agency PIA mechanism in precisely the same way. Request the criminal cause file through the clerk’s procedures and confirm copy or certification fees. The sheriff still confirms the physical release; the clerk confirms the order, judgment, sentence, or disposition.

Crockett Court Records Outlast Rosters

Crockett County’s County Clerk and District Clerk pages name the same clerk, Ninfa Preddy, and list P.O. Drawer C, Ozona, Texas 76943, phone 325-392-2022, fax 325-392-3742, and ninfa.preddy@co.crockett.tx.us. Felony filings generally route through the 112th District Court and District Clerk. County-level misdemeanor matters route through the constitutional county court and County Clerk according to the actual cause. Fine-only or magistrate records may remain with the justice court.

Identify the cause before requesting documents. Useful release research includes the docket sheet, bond order, release order, judgment, sentence, jail-credit finding, dismissal, revocation order, capias disposition where public, and order ending community supervision. The County Clerk’s iDocket link is labeled for property records, so it should not be presented as a criminal-case search.

A court order establishes legal authority, not always the moment a person crossed the jail door. Pair it with the sheriff’s transaction. If the two dates conflict, preserve both labels and ask the originating office for correction rather than silently selecting one.

Historic Crockett Jail Confusion

The Texas Historical Commission Atlas can surface a landmark entry for the historic Crockett County Jail, while older directories may show Avenue D-era addresses. Today’s official sheriff page lists 121 S. Highway 163. Use that current operational contact and call before visiting.

Historical location records describe a building, not present custody or release processing. The distinction matters when a search engine blends an old landmark with the current Crockett County Jail. The dedicated Crockett County Jail release page keeps facility oversight, current contact, records requests, and transfer paths separate.

Find Released Crockett County Inmates

Start with identity and custody type, then build a timeline. Record the arrest, booking, court bond order, bond posting, jail release, transfer receipt, TDCJ intake, parole vote, projected date, actual prison release, and supervision discharge only when the relevant source supplies each event. These moments can be hours or years apart.

1. Check the sheriff and VINELink for local county custody or a participating event.
2. Request the sheriff’s named release transaction because no public historical county release feed was found.
3. Check the correct Crockett County court file for the bond order, disposition, judgment, or sentence.
4. If a state transfer occurred, use the TDCJ current search, email information service, BPP status, and IVSS.
5. For a federal or immigration case, switch to the BOP, federal docket, actual housing jail, or ICE route.
6. Confirm every match with DOB, TDCJ/SID/BOP/A-number, cause number, county, age, offense, or agency as available.

Crockett Recent Release Checks

As of August 2, 2026, the official sheriff page displayed no public roster, 24-hour list, 72-hour list, release archive, or booking-photo gallery. It referred users to VINELink for custody status. Crockett County therefore requires an event check plus direct confirmation instead of a downloadable recent-release ledger.

The 24-hour release list and 72-hour release list explain how to request a narrow interval. The wider period can capture weekend or holiday processing that a same-day check misses, but neither page invents a feed. Ask for a named person or a precise interval, release time, type, authority, and destination.

The Ozona Stockman publishes selective weekly sheriff activity reports. Examples distinguish “posted bond and was released,” “time served,” “remains in custody,” and transfers. They are useful discovery sources, not rolling jail databases. Publication follows events and may omit exact timestamps or identifiers, so confirm with the sheriff and court.

TDCJ Crockett Release Searches

The TDCJ public offender search expressly covers people currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility. Inputs include last name, first name, seven-digit TDCJ number, State Identification number, gender, and race. It is useful after a Crockett County jail-to-prison transfer. It does not preserve a visible former-prisoner profile, so no result cannot establish state discharge.

For released history, use TDCJ’s no-fee email information channel. Provide full name and TDCJ number; if unknown, supply exact birth date or approximate age and county of conviction. Available public information can include current and prior incarceration history and the exact “Projected Release Date” field. TDCJ states that this email service does not provide inmate photographs.

Telephone information is available at 936-295-6371 or 800-535-0283 during TDCJ’s listed weekday hours. A projected date can change. It may represent mandatory-supervision or discharge timing depending on offense date and eligibility. It is not proof of physical release.

Crockett Supervision After Release

Parole and probation are different. Parole or mandatory supervision follows release from a TDCJ sentence and is supervised by the TDCJ Parole Division. Probation, formally community supervision, is imposed by a court and administered through a Community Supervision and Corrections Department.

Crockett County parole cases route to the San Angelo District Parole Office in Region V. Ordinary probation follows a multi-county CSCD arrangement that the state directory groups with Brewster, Jeff Davis, Pecos, Presidio, Reagan, Sutton, and Upton, identifying Pecos as the main contact county. Confirm the assigned office through the sentencing court and current directory. The parole and probation page explains both routes and BPP decision codes.

Board approval is not physical release. BPP may approve a future date or attach a program condition. Use 844-512-0461 for pre-vote status and 512-406-5202 for approved-release processing. The actual releasing TDCJ unit controls the final transaction.

Crockett VINE and IVSS Notices

The Crockett County Sheriff itself refers users to VINELink Texas, making it the county’s explicit online custody-status route. Search a name or offered ID, inspect the reporting agency, and resolve duplicates with available identifiers. Coverage and fields vary. A notification is a prompt to verify, not a certified release sheet.

Texas uses TDCJ IVSS for state-prison and parole notices. A county case may therefore require a switch after transfer into TDCJ. Neither system covers every federal, ICE, or historical event. The VINELink inmate check gives the one-person search and registration path.

The Texas DPS Sex Offender Registry applies only when a legal registration duty exists. It may show a photo and allowed registration data, but it is not a general released-inmate locator. No match says nothing about most released people.

Federal Crockett Release Records

The BOP locator is relevant only to federal prison custody. It commonly includes post-1982 records and fields such as register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. A past date paired with released or no-facility status establishes departure from BOP custody, not release from every authority.

USMS manages federal pretrial and transfer custody and often houses prisoners in local, state, or private facilities. It has no comparable public historical locator. Use the federal docket and actual housing jail first, then BOP if the person entered a sentenced federal prison term.

ICE’s locator covers current detention and may show some releases within the prior 60 days, but it can lag and is not a county archive. An immigration detainer may keep a person in custody for the authorized period so ICE can assume custody. If the sheriff record names ICE as destination, report a transfer unless community release is independently confirmed.

No single database covers the full chain. Choose the source that created the event.

Crockett County Detention Facility

The county facility map resolves one local destination page: Crockett County Jail. No TDCJ unit, federal prison, or ICE detention center was identified within Crockett County in the authoritative locators reviewed. County cases may still move to any of those systems outside the county, so geography alone cannot settle custody.

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards provides facility-level regulation and inspection material, not individual release data. Use it for jail oversight. Use the sheriff for a person’s local release, the court for legal orders, and the receiving authority for later custody.

When records disagree, follow the office that created the event. The sheriff owns the local booking and release transaction. The court owns its bond order, judgment, dismissal, sentence, and revocation record. TDCJ owns prison intake, sentence calculations, unit release, and current projected dates. BPP owns parole vote decisions. BOP owns federal prison status, while ICE owns immigration detention status. Keep the conflict in a timeline and ask the relevant custodian to correct its own data.

Name-only matching is especially risky in a short weekly report or statewide result set. Confirm a candidate record with date of birth, a TDCJ or SID number, BOP register number, A-number, cause number, county of conviction, age, offense, and reporting agency wherever those fields are lawfully available. Do not join two records because the first and last names happen to match. If a public result omits a key identifier, give the known identifier to the custodian and request confirmation instead of filling the gap with a guess.
