Overview
If you're looking for someone at BATEN UNIT and don't have a TDCJ or SID number, start with the TDCJ Offender Search to pull up the correct identifier and custody record. Not sure where the person is being held? Widen your search to other public tools: the Texas statewide offender search, the federal Bureau of Prisons locator (when applicable), and county jail rosters for local custody. County and third-party rosters aren't always complete, so verify key details across more than one source. To stay updated after you locate the person, register for automated custody-status alerts through Texas notification services such as IVSS, VINE, or SAVNS.
