This is a private reference site, not a Taylor County or Texas government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, free anyone, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the agency that holds the record for those services.

Choose the route that fits the question:

  • For a named released person or booking-out record, the home page gives the county search and request sequence.
  • For parole or probation, use Post-Release Supervision.
  • For same-day departures, use 24-Hour Releases.
  • For a projected date or notification, use Release Date Lookup or VINE Inmate Check.
  • For one local facility, use the Adult Detention Center or Juvenile Detention Center page listed below.
  • For a sentenced Texas prisoner, use TDCJ rather than the Taylor County jail.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE rather than a county roster.
