The Coryell County jail roster is a publicly accessible record of individuals currently held at the Coryell County Jail in Gatesville, Texas. CoryellCourt.us can help you find publicly available information about current and recent inmates, including booking details and charges. You can also access jail roster information through the Coryell County official website, by calling the Coryell County Sheriff's Office, or by visiting the jail in person. A jail roster search allows the public to confirm whether someone is in custody, view the charges against them, and identify basic booking information. The Coryell County Sheriff's Office maintains the roster, which is updated as bookings and releases occur and is hosted through the county's online systems.

Find Coryell County Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created each time an individual is processed into the Coryell County Jail. This record is generated at intake and captures key details about the arrest and the person being booked.
A typical booking record includes:
- Booking number — a unique identifier assigned at intake
- Date and time of booking
- Charges — the specific offenses listed at the time of arrest
- Arresting agency — the law enforcement agency that made the arrest (e.g., Coryell County Sheriff's Office, Gatesville Police Department, or Texas DPS)
- Bond amount, if one has been set
- Mugshot, depending on the system used
To access booking records online, start with the Coryell County jail roster or CoryellCourt.us. If the record you need is not available through the online roster — for example, if the person has already been released — you may need to submit a records request directly to the Sheriff's Office.
For broader criminal history searches beyond the county level, the Texas State Law Library's criminal history guide outlines how to request records through the Texas Department of Public Safety. If someone has been transferred to state custody, the TDCJ inmate search tool can help locate them.
Search the Coryell County Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The Coryell County jail roster generally supports two primary ways to find an inmate:
Search by Last Name
- Enter the inmate's last name in the search or filter field. Adding a first name narrows results when the last name is common.
- Use the person's full legal name, not a nickname or alias. Booking records reflect the name provided at intake, which is usually taken from a government-issued ID.
- Double-check spelling. A single incorrect letter can prevent a match.
- If the roster displays a full list rather than a search box, use your browser's find function to jump to a specific name.
Search by Booking Number
- If you already have a booking number — from a bail bondsman, attorney, or prior search — enter it directly. This returns the exact record without ambiguity.
What to Do If the Search Returns No Results
- Verify the spelling of the name and try common alternate spellings.
- Check whether the person has been released. The roster typically shows only individuals currently in custody. Once released, their record may no longer appear.
- Call the jail at (254) 865-7201 to ask whether the person was recently booked or has already been transferred or released.
- Check state-level databases. If the person may have been transferred to a Texas state facility, use the TDCJ offender search.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Coryell County
The Coryell County jail roster is updated on a rolling basis as new bookings and releases are processed. However, there is typically a delay between the time a person is physically booked into the jail and when their information appears on the public roster. This lag can range from a few minutes to several hours depending on staffing and intake volume.
Key Limitations to Keep in Mind
- The roster reflects current custody only. It is not a historical archive. Once an inmate is released, transferred, or bonded out, their record is usually removed from the active roster.
- Data entry delays mean that someone arrested within the last few hours may not yet appear online. If you believe someone was recently arrested, calling the jail directly is the fastest way to confirm.
- Name discrepancies can occur. If a person was booked under a legal name that differs from the name you are searching, the record will not match. Aliases are not always indexed.
- Charges listed on the roster are initial charges and may change as the case progresses through the court system. Charges can be upgraded, reduced, or dropped entirely by the Coryell County District Attorney's Office.
- Released inmate records may require a formal records request to the Sheriff's Office. The Texas State Law Library court records guide provides additional pathways for locating criminal case records after they have moved beyond the booking stage.
For the most current information, check the roster frequently or contact the Coryell County Sheriff's Office directly. The roster is a transparency tool — it provides a snapshot of who is in custody at any given time, but it does not replace official court records or case disposition information maintained by the District Clerk.
