Search Coryell County Booking Releases Online

The Coryell County Sheriff's Office runs an online current inmates roster powered by the edoc Technologies Web Interface. You can view the current inmate list at the Sheriff's application portal. The roster shows each inmate's name, booking date, charge description, bail amount, release date, and the arresting agency. Clicking on an individual name gives more detail about that person's custody status and specific charges.

The roster pulls live data and includes both pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates at the county jail in Gatesville. Arresting agencies shown in the roster include Gatesville Police Department, Copperas Cove Police Department, the Coryell County Sheriff's Office, DPS, and other agencies. Charges range from drug possession and assault to DWI and probation violations. MTR (Motion to Revoke) entries typically show a $0.00 bail, meaning no bond has been set for those holds.

Coryell County also hosts several Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison units. These are state facilities, not the county jail. For people in state custody, use the TDCJ Offender Search. The county jail and state prison units are separate systems. Call the Sheriff's Office at (254) 865-7201 for direct custody inquiries.

What Coryell County Booking Records Contain

When someone is arrested and booked into the Coryell County Jail, a booking record is created. Those records are public under the Texas Public Information Act. The online roster shows name, booking date, charge description, bail amount, release date (showing 1/1/1900 for still-active holds), and arresting agency. Full records in the office also include date of birth, physical description, and other booking details.

The online roster includes a wide range of charges. Examples from the roster include false statements to law enforcement, failure to appear, possession of controlled substances, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, evading arrest, assault of a family member, and various drug offenses. Each entry clearly identifies the arresting agency.

Some records are exempt from disclosure. Active investigation files, juvenile records, medical records, and child abuse investigation materials cannot be released. If the office withholds a record, they may seek a Texas Attorney General ruling before making a final decision.

A booking record does not mean a person was convicted. Charges can be dropped or reduced. The bail amount at booking may also change after a court hearing. For current case information, contact the Coryell County District Clerk at (254) 865-5911.
