Coryell County Jail Roster: Use the Real-Time Sheriff List Before Taking the Next Step
For a recent Coryell County arrest, start with the Coryell County Sheriff’s official Jail Roster. The Sheriff says the roster updates in real time; if the person is not showing or you need immediate custody confirmation, call the Sheriff’s Office at 254-865-7201.
County Jail, Court and State Prison Are Separate Systems
Coryell County Jail
The Sheriff’s Jail Roster answers whether a person is currently listed in local county custody. The Sheriff’s Office is at 510 Leon Street in Gatesville.
County or District Court
Class A and B misdemeanor records are handled through the County Court at Law and County Clerk. District-court files are held by the 52nd/440th Judicial District Clerk.
TDCJ
TDCJ is a different state system. Search it when a person has been transferred from county jail into Texas state corrections.
Which Official Source Should You Use?
How to Search the Coryell County Jail Roster
The Sheriff’s current site links to its jail-roster application, and the live interface is indexed as supporting searches by last name, first name or SO number. The Sheriff’s own FAQ confirms that the roster is the county’s public custody route and that it is updated in real time.
Open the Sheriff’s Jail Roster Page
Start from CoryellCountySheriff.com so you can verify that you are entering the Sheriff’s linked custody system rather than a paid background-search advertisement.
Search the Last Name First
If the interface returns too many people, add the first name. Try reasonable legal-name variations when a maiden name, hyphenation, suffix or spelling difference may be involved.
Use the SO Number When You Have It
An SO number is more specific than a common name. Keep it with the booking details because it can help distinguish repeat bookings or people who share similar names.
Open the Matching Detail Record
The indexed roster interface provides a Detail route for a matching record. Review the booking date and available charge or bail information instead of identifying someone from a name alone.
Move to the Correct Court
A jail entry answers custody. Use the County Clerk and County Court at Law for applicable misdemeanor matters and the District Clerk for 52nd or 440th Judicial District Court records.
Recheck Before Money, Travel or Pickup
“Real time” does not mean a screenshot remains current. Refresh the roster or call 254-865-7201 immediately before a bond payment, visit, deposit, mail decision or release pickup.
How to Read Coryell County Jail Information
The public roster and its indexed detail interface can provide custody and booking information. Treat each field as a point-in-time jail record, not as the final criminal-case outcome.
| Field | What it helps confirm | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Name | The identity under which the person is listed in the jail system. | A common-name match alone is the correct person. |
| SO number | A Sheriff/jail identifier that can make a custody search more precise. | It is the same identifier as a court case number. |
| Book date | The booking associated with the jail record. | It is the conviction date or final filing date. |
| Charge | The allegation recorded with the jail booking. | The person was convicted or the charge will remain unchanged in court. |
| Bail / bond amount | A bail figure associated with the booking when one is displayed. | The amount is still current, every hold is bondable, or payment guarantees immediate release. |
| Release information | A recorded custody change when the system shows one. | A future release will occur at an exact pickup time. |
| Arresting agency | Which law-enforcement agency is associated with an arrest when shown. | That agency operates the jail or is the custodian of the court record. |
If the Person Does Not Appear on the Roster
The Sheriff says the roster updates in real time, so do not substitute a generic “wait 24 hours” rule. When the answer is important, use the official fallback: call 254-865-7201.
| Problem | Possible explanation | Next action | Official verification route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arrest happened very recently | Transport, booking, identity processing or medical screening may still be underway even though the roster itself updates in real time. | Refresh the Sheriff roster and call the jail if the custody answer is urgent. | 254-865-7201 |
| No exact name result | The booking may use another legal spelling, maiden/former surname, hyphenation or suffix. | Try reasonable legal-name variants or the SO number if known. | Sheriff Jail Roster |
| Court case exists but no current jail record | A person can have a pending case or warrant without being in current county custody. | Search the responsible County Court at Law or District Court record. | County Clerk / District Clerk |
| Arrest was in Gatesville or Copperas Cove | A city police department may be the arresting/report custodian even though county jail handles later custody. | Use the jail for custody; use the arresting police agency for its incident record. | Gatesville PD / Copperas Cove PD / Sheriff |
| Person was transferred after a state sentence | TDCJ may now be the custodian. | Search the TDCJ inmate database. | TDCJ |
| Federal custody is plausible | County records may stop showing the person after a federal transfer. | Check BOP when federal prison custody is relevant. | BOP Inmate Locator |
Bond and Court Records: Match the Case Level Before Calling
The accessible Sheriff pages reviewed for this refresh do not publish one universal bond-payment procedure covering every inmate and every charge. Use any roster bail figure as a starting point, then confirm the current amount, conditions, court and additional holds before paying.
County Court at Law
The Coryell County Clerk states that the County Court at Law hears Class A and B misdemeanor offenses such as DWI, theft and assault.
Coryell County Courthouse
620 E Main St, First Floor
Gatesville, TX 76528
Court dates: 254-865-5911 ext. 161.
52nd Judicial District Court
The 52nd District Court publishes current 2026 criminal dockets.
620 E Main St, 2nd Floor
Gatesville, TX 76528
Use the District Clerk for the official district-court file and the 52nd court page for current docket information.
440th Judicial District Court
The 440th District Court also publishes current criminal and TDCJ dockets.
417 E Leon St
Gatesville, TX 76528
Court Coordinator: 254-865-5911 ext. 270.
Court-Appointed Counsel
Coryell County has a separate Indigent Defense Coordinator for people who lack funds to retain counsel. The county currently lists 254-865-5911 ext. 180 or 254-248-3189, with office visits by appointment. Eligibility and appointment are governed by the county’s indigent-defense plan and court process; a jail booking does not automatically establish eligibility.
Warrant Check: Do Not Treat the Jail Roster as a Countywide Warrant Database
No current official Coryell County page found in this research pass provides a single public countywide active-warrant search that should replace direct verification. A person can have a warrant without being in jail, and a historical warrant reference can become stale.
Misdemeanor Court Warrant
The County Clerk says its Misdemeanor Records Division provides administrative support for County Court at Law cases through the issuance of warrants, summons, subpoenas and commitments. For a court-specific misdemeanor question, start with the County Clerk Criminal Division at 254-865-5911 ext. 143.
Law-Enforcement Verification
For a Sheriff-related law-enforcement question, use 254-865-7201. If another police agency originated the matter, that agency or the responsible court may be the correct verification source.
Coryell County Approved Prodigy for Inmate Calls and Video Visits
Coryell County Commissioners Court records show that on September 23, 2025 the county approved an inmate telephone and video visitation service agreement with Prodigy. This is stronger current evidence than older directory pages that name another vendor.
Provider
County contract records support Prodigy for inmate telephone and video visitation. Current public provider directories also identify Prodigy for Coryell County Jail video visits.
Confirm the Schedule Before Travel
The Sheriff’s accessible current site does not publish a full visitation-hours table. A current secondary provider directory reports scheduled onsite and remote video visitation through Prodigy, but schedules can change. Confirm the live appointment in the current provider flow or call 254-865-7201 before driving to Gatesville.
Commissary and Inmate Trust Accounts: County Selected Prodigy Solutions
Coryell County Commissioners Court selected Prodigy Solutions for inmate trust accounting and commissary services on May 13, 2025 and approved the jail commissary contract on May 19, 2025. That official contract history is more reliable than older third-party deposit pages.
Confirm the Correct Inmate First
Save the person’s legal name and SO number from the official jail roster before funding an account. This reduces the chance of sending money to a similarly named person.
Check the Live Prodigy/Jail Flow
The accessible Sheriff website does not currently publish a reliable fee or deposit-limit table. Do not assume an old fee, daily maximum, kiosk rule or money-order procedure remains current; confirm the available channel and total fee before payment.
Verify the Current Mail Format Before Sending Anything Important
The Sheriff’s accessible pages reviewed for this refresh do not currently publish a complete personal-mail policy with verified photo limits, book rules, legal-mail handling and prohibited-item details. This guide therefore does not copy a generic mail policy from a jail directory.
Facility Address
The Sheriff’s official contact page lists 510 Leon Street, Gatesville, TX 76528 for the Coryell County Sheriff’s Office and jail location.
Before Mailing
Call 254-865-7201 and confirm the current inmate-mail destination, required SO/booking identifier, sender-return-address rule, photo limits, publication rules and legal-mail procedure. Do this especially before sending an irreplaceable original, a book or a financial instrument.
Request the Record From the Office That Owns It
| You need | Correct starting point | Useful details |
|---|---|---|
| Current jail custody | Sheriff Jail Roster | Legal name, SO number, booking information. |
| Sheriff arrest / incident record | Coryell County Sheriff Records Clerk | Name, incident date/location, report identifier and precise record description. |
| County Court at Law misdemeanor record | County Clerk Criminal Division | Defendant name, case number, court date or requested filing. |
| 52nd / 440th District Court record | Coryell County District Clerk | Defendant name, district-court case number and requested filing. |
| City-police incident report | Gatesville PD or Copperas Cove PD when that agency made the arrest or investigated the event | Agency case number, incident date and location. |
Sheriff Public-Records Request Details
The Sheriff requires records requests to be in writing and recommends calling the Records Clerk first to confirm availability and possible costs. The current Records Request page lists 254-865-7201 ext. 501, mail to Coryell County Sheriff’s Office, ATTN Records Clerk / Records Request, 510 Leon Street, Gatesville, TX 76528, and fax 254-865-7774.
The same page currently publishes these basic copy rates, while warning that rates are subject to change: 9 pages or fewer — no charge; 10 pages — $1.00; each additional page — $0.10. Verify the total cost before ordering a large record.
Booking Photos / Mugshots
The accessible current Sheriff pages reviewed here do not publish a separate public booking-photo policy that supports promising a “free Coryell County mugshot lookup.” If a particular booking image is needed for a legitimate records purpose, ask the Sheriff Records Clerk whether that image is available and releasable under the current records process. A booking photograph does not establish guilt or show the final case outcome.
Texas County-Jail Notifications Changed Systems in 2025–2026
Texas launched IVSS-Counties on September 1, 2025 to provide participating county-jail custody and court-status notifications and connect county notification with later TDCJ status. On September 1, 2026, management moved from the Texas Attorney General to the Office of the Governor; state guidance says existing notifications and services continue.
County Jail / Court Notifications
Use IVSS-Counties and confirm coverage for the person and case. Texas guidance describes the service as covering offenders in county jails in many counties.
TDCJ Prison / Supervision Notifications
TDCJ’s separate IVSS handles offenders in TDCJ custody or on parole/mandatory supervision. It is not the same database as the Sheriff’s current county-jail roster.
Coryell County also publishes local victim-assistance services through its County Attorney and District Attorney offices for rights information, court notifications, victim impact statements, compensation and referrals.
Medical or Safety Concern: Use the Jail, Not an Unverified Directory
No current public Coryell Sheriff page located in this research pass provides detailed medical, medication, mental-health or PREA procedures suitable for reliable publication here. Those details are therefore not invented.
Urgent Concern About a Person in Custody
Call the Sheriff/Jail at 254-865-7201 and explain that the concern involves a person currently in custody so staff can route it through the facility’s current procedure.
Immediate External Emergency
Call 911 for an immediate emergency. Do not use an email, records request or victim-notification service as an emergency channel.
A roster result cannot establish a person’s diagnosis, medication, treatment or mental-health status, and family members may not be entitled to protected medical information.
Coryell County Jail vs. TDCJ: A Particularly Important Gatesville Distinction
Because Gatesville is closely associated with Texas state correctional facilities, search results can mix county-jail information with TDCJ prison information. Choose the system based on who currently has custody.
Coryell County Sheriff
Use the real-time county Jail Roster for people held in Coryell County Jail after a local arrest or during county-level custody.
TDCJ
Use the TDCJ Inmate Search for Texas prison custody. TDCJ searches and county jail rosters are not interchangeable.
Federal BOP
Use the BOP Inmate Locator for federal prison custody. BOP notes that someone shown as released or not in BOP custody may still be in another correctional or criminal-justice system.

Coryell County Jail Map
The Sheriff and jail are at 510 Leon Street in Gatesville. The County Courthouse and Leon Street Annex are separate court locations, so confirm whether your task is jail custody, a County Court at Law matter or a district-court matter before traveling.
Use Coryell County Jail Information Responsibly
- An arrest, booking, listed charge or booking photograph is not proof of guilt.
- Match identifying information such as the SO number and booking details before assuming a common-name result is the correct person.
- Use the court record for filed charges, hearings, pleas, dismissals, judgments and final disposition.
- A warrant is not proof of current jail custody.
- Refresh the real-time roster before paying, visiting, mailing or arranging transportation.
- Do not use stale screenshots as current custody evidence.
- Do not use public jail information for harassment, threats, stalking, intimidation, doxxing or public shaming.
Coryell County Jail Roster FAQs
How do I find out if someone is in Coryell County Jail?
Use the Coryell County Sheriff’s Jail Roster. The Sheriff says the roster is updated in real time. If the person still cannot be found or the custody question is urgent, call 254-865-7201.
How often is the Coryell County jail roster updated?
The Coryell County Sheriff’s current FAQ says the Jail Roster is updated in real time. That is why this guide does not use a generic daily-update or 24-hour-delay claim.
Can I search the Coryell County roster by SO number?
The Sheriff-linked roster interface is indexed as accepting last name, first name or SO number. An SO number can be more precise than a common name and is useful to save with the matching booking information.
Does a charge or bail amount on the roster mean the person was convicted?
No. A jail charge reflects the booking and custody record at that stage. Use the appropriate Coryell County court record for filed charges, court orders and final disposition, and reverify any bail amount before payment.
Which Coryell County court handles a misdemeanor case?
The County Clerk says Coryell County Court at Law hears Class A and B misdemeanor offenses such as DWIs, thefts and assaults. The County Clerk Criminal Division handles those records, and the Court Coordinator at 254-865-5911 ext. 161 handles court-date questions.
Where do I check a Coryell County district-court criminal case?
Use the Coryell County District Clerk, which is custodian of records for the 52nd and 440th Judicial District Courts. Both courts publish current criminal dockets on official Coryell County pages.
What company does Coryell County use for inmate calls and video visitation?
Coryell County Commissioners Court approved an inmate telephone and video visitation service agreement with Prodigy in September 2025. Because the Sheriff’s accessible current site does not publish a complete live schedule or fee table, confirm the current provider facility listing or call 254-865-7201 before scheduling or funding service.
How do I add money to a Coryell County inmate account?
Coryell County officially selected Prodigy Solutions for inmate trust accounting and commissary services in 2025. The accessible Sheriff pages do not publish a current deposit-fee or limit table, so verify the live deposit channel, inmate identity and total fee before sending money.
Where do I mail a letter to a Coryell County Jail inmate?
Call 254-865-7201 before mailing. The official Sheriff contact page confirms the jail and Sheriff location at 510 Leon Street in Gatesville, but the accessible Sheriff pages reviewed for this update do not publish a complete current personal-mail policy or verified mailing format. Confirm the current address, inmate identifier and content rules before sending anything important.
Why might someone in Gatesville not appear on the Coryell County jail roster?
Gatesville is associated with both county and Texas state correctional custody. Someone transferred to TDCJ state custody belongs in the TDCJ search rather than the county jail roster. A person can also have a court case or warrant without currently being jailed.
