This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible public office for those services.
Official Offices and Record Routes
The right contact depends on the record. The detention building and the Sheriff’s official mailing address are different, and Matagorda County centralizes ordinary Public Information Act intake through the County Attorney. Published business hours were not found for the Sheriff or jail, so call before visiting.

Choose the route that matches the question:
- For a released person or county release record, the home page gives the complete search and written-request path.
- For supervision after release, use Parole / Probation and the correct local or state office.
- For people who may have just left the jail, check Released Last 24 Hours.
- For a future date or alert, use Inmate Release Date or the VINELink Release Check.
- For Matagorda County Jail details, use the facility page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the TDCJ offender search rather than the county jail line.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator and its records process.
