The Coleman County Law Enforcement Center (CCLEC) maintains an inmate custody list showing current detainees and their status. You can access this through the Coleman County Sheriff's Office website. The inmate roster is searchable by last name or booking number and includes each inmate's booking number, last name, first name, date of birth, release date, and criminal charges.

The facility houses approximately 48 inmates on any given day and processes around 960 bookings per year. The weekly turnover rate runs about 55%, meaning more than half of inmates are released and replaced each week. The jail is located at 965 North US 283 in Coleman. The site also links to the TDCJ Inmate Lookup and the Texas Sex Offender Registry for broader searches.

If the person you are looking for does not appear on the current inmate roster, they may have already been released or transferred. You can also call the Sheriff's Office at (325) 625-3506 to confirm custody status directly. For state prison searches, use the TDCJ Offender Search.

What Coleman County Booking Records Contain

Every arrest processed at the Coleman County Law Enforcement Center creates a booking record. Those records are public under the Texas Public Information Act. Coleman County booking releases include the booking number, last name, first name, date of birth, release date, and criminal charges. More detailed records maintained by the office also include the arresting agency, bond amount, intake date and time, and physical description.

The CCLEC handles about 960 bookings per year. Common charge categories include felony and misdemeanor drug offenses, property crimes, DWI, assault, and probation or parole violations. The online roster is updated regularly and provides the most current custody information.

Some records are not public. Active investigation files, juvenile records, medical records, and child abuse investigation materials can be withheld. If the office withholds a record, they may seek a ruling from the Texas Attorney General before giving a final answer.

A booking record does not indicate a conviction. Charges may be dropped, reduced, or result in acquittal. Bond amounts at booking may also change after a court hearing. For current case status, contact the Coleman County District Clerk.
