Angelina County Jail Roster in Lufkin: Search the Official Texas Custody List First
If you are searching for an Angelina County jail roster in Lufkin, Texas, the correct local custody authority is the Angelina County Sheriff’s Office. There is no separate “Lufkin County Jail.” The Angelina County Jail is at 2311 E. Lufkin Ave. in Lufkin, and the county publishes a live roster plus a separate Judicial Public Access system for jail records, jail bond records, criminal cases and law-enforcement records.
Quick Answer: How to Search the Angelina County Jail Roster
Use the official county roster for present local custody
Open the Angelina County Jail Roster. The list is alphabetical and identifies people the county currently displays in jail custody. Because inmate information changes quickly, the county warns that the public page may not always reflect the newest status.
For a very recent arrest, release, bond payment, pickup or other urgent question, call the Jail Division at 936-634-2724 or Book-In at 936-639-8724.
Use Judicial Public Access for the deeper record
Angelina County’s Judicial Public Access portal separately offers Criminal Case Records, Court Calendar, Jail Records, Jail Bond Records and Law Enforcement Records.
That separation matters: the basic roster is useful for the custody question, while the public-access portal and court clerks are better for charges, bond records and the legal case.
Which Angelina County Source Should You Use?
| Question | Official source | Best use |
|---|---|---|
| Is the person currently on the county jail list? | Angelina County Jail Roster | Current public custody list and booking-date/physical-description clues. |
| What is the jail record or bond record? | Angelina Judicial Public Access | Jail Records and Jail Bond Records, separate from the simple roster. |
| What is the criminal court case? | Judicial Public Access / District Clerk / County Courts at Law | Felony or misdemeanor case information, court calendar and official court files. |
| What are today’s visitation rules? | Dedicated Jail Visitation page | Current published male/female schedule and visitor rules. |
| How do calls, messages or digital mail work? | Jail Information | NCIC phone rates, remote-video/messaging fees and current scanned-mail route. |
| What warrant office should I contact? | Angelina County Sheriff Warrants | Warrant questions at 936-639-8739; a warrant does not prove current jail custody. |
| Is the person in Texas state corrections? | TDCJ Offender Search | TDCJ custody or qualifying supervision rather than county-jail custody. |
| Is the person in federal custody? | Federal Bureau of Prisons | Federal inmate records, not local Texas jail custody. |
How to Search the Angelina County Jail Roster Step by Step
Confirm Angelina County, Texas
This guide is for Lufkin and the surrounding Angelina County jurisdiction in East Texas. Do not confuse the county jail with a TDCJ prison or another Texas county.
Open the official roster
The roster is an alphabetical table. Use your browser’s Find command (Ctrl+F or Command+F) to locate the last name quickly when the page is long.
Compare the visible identity fields
The current public list shows name, sex, height, weight, eye color, hair color and booking date. Use several of those details to reduce same-name errors.
Move to Jail Records or Jail Bond Records for deeper booking detail
If you need a bond record, charge context or a more complete jail record, use Angelina County Judicial Public Access rather than assuming the simple roster contains those fields.
Move to the correct court for the legal case
Felony cases route through the 159th or 217th District Courts; misdemeanor criminal cases route through the County Courts at Law. The court record—not the roster—controls the legal outcome.
Call before a time-sensitive decision
Current custody can change after release, transfer, bond or court action. Call the jail before traveling, posting bond, mailing time-sensitive material or arranging pickup.
What the Official Angelina County Roster Actually Shows
The current public roster is narrower than many third-party jail directories suggest. These are the fields visible on the county roster reviewed for this refresh.
| Roster field | How to use it | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Start with the full listed legal name and compare it with other identifying information. | A same-name result alone is not enough to establish identity. |
| Sex | One additional matching clue. | It does not establish the court case, charge or outcome. |
| Height / weight | Helpful when two people have similar names. | Physical-description data can be approximate or change over time. |
| Eye / hair color | Additional identity clues. | These fields do not replace a date of birth or official identity verification. |
| Booking date | Shows the booking date attached to the current roster record. | It is not necessarily the arrest time, court date or release date. |
Angelina County Mugshots and Booking Photos
The current official roster page reviewed for this article does not display a dedicated mugshot/photo column. That is an important correction to older language that implied a booking photo might be part of every roster entry.
If you only need current custody
Use the official roster. A photograph is not required to determine whether the county currently lists the person.
If you need a specific booking photo or historical booking record
Use the Sheriff’s Records contact at 936-639-8762 or Angelina County’s Open Records Request process. Ask for the specific existing record and understand that disclosure depends on Texas law and the record actually held by the county.
Do not treat a photo from a third-party mugshot page as proof of current custody, guilt or final case outcome. Use the court record for the legal result.
If the Person Is Not on the Angelina County Jail Roster
Bond and Bail: Use Jail Bond Records and Verify Before Paying
Angelina County’s Judicial Public Access portal has a dedicated Jail Bond Records option. Use that as a starting point, then verify the current amount and release conditions with the jail/court before money changes hands.
Magistration and bond setting
Angelina County Justice of the Peace courts conduct magistrate hearings, including bail settings and arraignments. Which magistrate or trial court controls a particular case depends on the case and procedural stage.
Licensed bail-bond companies
Angelina County has a Bail Bond Board that regulates licensed sureties and publishes the current licensed-bond-company list. Use the official Bail Bond Board page rather than an advertisement when checking whether a company is county-licensed.
Before posting bond
- Confirm the person is still in custody.
- Confirm the current bond amount and case/warrant number.
- Ask whether more than one case or hold affects release.
- Confirm the court controlling release.
- Confirm the accepted payment/bond route.
- Do not promise an immediate pickup time after payment.
Angelina County Criminal Court Records: Felonies vs Misdemeanors
Angelina County’s court structure matters because the jail roster is not the court record.
Felony criminal cases
The 159th and 217th District Courts share concurrent jurisdiction over felony criminal cases. The District Clerk is the custodian of district-court criminal pleadings and records.
Angelina County District Clerk
215 East Lufkin Ave., Lufkin, TX 75901
936-634-4312
Mon–Fri 8:00 AM–4:30 PM
Misdemeanor criminal cases
Angelina County Court at Law 1 and County Court at Law 2 have concurrent jurisdiction over misdemeanor criminal cases. Current main court contacts are 936-639-2204 for CCL1 and 936-634-8984 for CCL2.
The County Clerk supports county-court criminal matters but states that its office no longer conducts general criminal/background searches.
Online court and jail record search
The county’s Judicial Public Access portal provides separate selections for Criminal Case Records, Court Calendar, Jail Records, Jail Bond Records and Law Enforcement Records. The District Clerk also says its records are available digitally through iDocket.
Angelina County Jail Visitation: Use the Dedicated Current Page
Angelina County currently has two official pages containing different visitation details. The dedicated Jail Visitation page is the safer planning source because it is purpose-specific and currently publishes 30-minute visits and a two-visits-per-week limit, while the older general jail page still contains a different 20-minute / three-visits-per-week version.
| Day | Male | Female |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | 7:00 PM–10:00 PM | 6:00 PM–7:00 PM |
| Wednesday | 2:00 PM–5:30 PM | 12:30 PM–2:00 PM |
| Thursday | 7:00 PM–10:00 PM | 6:00 PM–7:00 PM |
| Sunday | 8:00 AM–11:00 AM | 1:00 PM–2:30 PM |
Current dedicated-page rules
- First come, first served.
- Sign-up begins 30 minutes before the session.
- Sign-up ends 30 minutes before the session ends or when the list is full.
- Visits are limited to 30 minutes.
- Inmates may have up to two visits per week.
- No more than two visitors in the visitation room at once.
- Visitors under 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
- No contact visits.
ID and lobby rules
The dedicated page’s stricter notice says visitors age 17+ must have a valid Texas Department of Public Safety state-issued identification card and warns that social-security cards, birth certificates, work IDs and school IDs are not accepted under that notice.
Leave purses, handbags and cameras in the vehicle, dress appropriately, and supervise children in the lobby.
Inmate Phone Calls, Video Visits and Secure Messages
Angelina County’s dedicated Jail Information page identifies NCIC Inmate Communications for prepaid collect calling and related communication services.
Calls
Inmates can make outgoing calls to approved family and friends. Incoming calls are not accepted except supported voicemail messages to approved inmates. Three-way calls are prohibited.
The county currently publishes a $0.16 per-minute rate for local, intrastate and interstate prepaid-collect/inmate-debit calls, with no connection fee. It lists $0.25/minute for Mexico and $0.35/minute for other international calls.
Remote video and messages
The county’s published fee table currently lists remote off-site video visitation at $0.30, secure inmate messaging at $0.25 per message and attachments at $0.35. Recheck the provider page before paying because vendor rates can change.
NCIC prepaid account support: 1-800-943-2189.
Current Non-Legal Mail Address: Use the Longview Scanning Center
The dedicated Jail Information page says non-privileged mail is processed electronically and should be sent to the following current route:
[Inmate Name]
SO# [inmate identification number]
Angelina County Jail
PO BOX 591
Longview, Texas 75606
Important scanning rules
- Include the inmate’s name and SO/booking/identifying number.
- Include the sender’s return address.
- Accepted mail must fit within 8.5 × 11 inches.
- No more than 5 pages per mailing.
- Write on the front side only; back-side writing can cause a return.
- Maximum 1 photo per mailing.
- No magazines, newspapers, bulk mail or books to the Longview scanning address.
- Legal and medical mail must follow the facility’s separate legal/medical mail route rather than the scanning-center address.
The county says scanned mail is delivered electronically to the inmate’s kiosk/tablet system. It also states that mailed packages are generally not accepted at the facility, with a stated exception for a Bible sent directly from a church rather than Amazon.
Commissary and Inmate Money
The county publishes a specific weekly commissary cutoff. Inmates must enter commissary orders before Tuesday at 10:00 AM, with orders distributed on Wednesday. The county says money should be deposited to the inmate account before Tuesday at 8:00 AM for that order cycle.
Indigent order timing
The Jail Information page says an indigent request must be submitted before Friday at 8:00 AM using an inmate request form with the person’s name and SO number. The page also states that the balance must be below the county’s published threshold and the inmate cannot make a commissary purchase if receiving indigent supplies.
Family/friend deposits
The older county jail page links VendEngine, and the current vendor service still identifies Angelina County Jail for commissary ordering. Because payment vendors and fees can change, reach the provider from the live county page or call the jail before sending money.
The county says money orders are not accepted for in-person jail-fund deposits under its published inmate-money rules.
Angelina County Warrants: Check Separately From the Jail Roster
The Sheriff lists the Warrants contact at 936-639-8739. A warrant can exist before arrest, after release or while another agency has custody, so it should not be treated as a live jail-status record.
For present custody
Use the jail roster and Book-In/Jail Division numbers.
For the legal warrant/case
Use the Sheriff’s Warrants contact plus the appropriate Justice, County Court at Law or District Court record. Angelina County Judicial Public Access can help identify the court record.
Requesting Older Jail, Sheriff or Law-Enforcement Records
Angelina County’s Open Records Request system is the correct route when the live roster is too narrow or the record is historical.
What the county requires
- The request must seek existing records.
- Submit it in writing by the county’s accepted route.
- Describe the record in enough detail for the custodian to identify it.
- Respond to cost estimates and pay mutually agreed reproduction charges when applicable.
Email-specific rules
Where a county office has a designated public-information email, the county says the request must go to that designated address. The email subject should include “Public Information Request.”
The county states that email requests are limited to a single typed page and attachments are not accepted except an official public-information request form.
For Sheriff records, the published Records phone is 936-639-8762. The county also provides an online Open Records Request submission form with a field asking whether the requester will accept a public redacted version.
When Angelina County Jail Is No Longer the Right Custodian
Texas Department of Criminal Justice
Use the TDCJ Offender Search for state corrections. The search supports name, SID number or current TDCJ number and accepts wildcard searches for partial names/numbers.
Texas IVSS
TDCJ’s Integrated Victim Services System provides offender-status information and confidential notification registration for people in TDCJ custody or on parole/mandatory supervision. It is not the Angelina County jail roster.
Federal custody
Use the BOP Inmate Locator when federal custody is established. Do not jump to federal search merely because the county roster is blank.
More Texas jail-roster guides
For a different verified Texas jurisdiction, use the correct county’s custody source. Examples on this site include Hockley County Jail Roster and Lubbock County Jail Roster. These are separate counties and should only be used when the arrest/transfer record points there.
Do Not Turn the Live Roster Count Into a Jail-Capacity Claim
Angelina County’s Jail Information page says the detention center was built and opened in 2003 with a descriptive maximum of 279 inmates. The live public roster, however, displays a dynamic “Total Inmates” figure that can be materially higher than that older facility-description number.
The county pages reviewed for this refresh do not explain the difference. For that reason, this guide does not publish a current occupancy percentage or claim that every name in the web roster equals a person physically occupying one of 279 beds. For compliance/capacity analysis, use current Texas Commission on Jail Standards reporting plus a county explanation rather than combining two unlike web figures.

Use Angelina County Jail Information Responsibly

- A warrant does not prove current incarceration.
- Third-party mugshot pages can remain online after release or case changes.
- Current mail/visitation instructions should come from the dedicated jail pages, not an old copied directory.
- Use official court records for plea, dismissal, conviction, sentence and final disposition.
- Do not use public jail information for harassment, threats, stalking, intimidation, discrimination or impersonation.
