How to use the Nacogdoches County Jail inmate search (and what the results mean)

The official inmate search lives on the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office website. You'll notice a quick tip in the header: "*ALL for all." That's your shortcut - type *ALL in the search field to pull up the complete jail roster instead of hunting for one specific name.

Not sure how a name is spelled? Not getting the results you expect? A broad search is often the fastest fix. Just enter *ALL to display everyone currently in the jail's system. From there, you can scroll or use your browser's find function to locate the person you're looking for.

1. Open the Nacogdoches County Jail inmate search page - this is the Sheriff’s Office inmate search.
2. Enter *ALL - the page indicates “*ALL for all.”
3. Submit the search - the results will return the county’s inmate listing.

Click into an individual record and you'll first see identifying details: name, age, and address. These help you confirm you've got the right person, especially when names are common. Below that are the booking details - booking number, booking date, and booking type (something like "PRETRIAL FELONS"). This information is useful when tracking a case or speaking with jail staff. Most records also show arrest and offense information, including an offense description and the statute. The statute gives you a more specific legal reference for the charge.

• ✓ Name
• ✓ Age
• ✓ Address
• ✓ Booking number
• ✓ Booking date
• ✓ Booking type (example shown on records: “PRETRIAL FELONS”)
• ✓ Arrest/offense details, including offense description and statute

At the top of the search page, you'll see a "Last Updated" timestamp. The site refreshes every hour, so that timestamp tells you exactly how current the roster is when you're viewing it.

Timing matters if you're searching right after an arrest or a possible release. Check the "Last Updated" timestamp first. If you don't find what you expected, wait for the next hourly refresh and search again.

Each inmate record includes a "Visitation" note pointing to the rules on the page. For specific visitation days and times, call the Nacogdoches County Jail at 936-560-7783. Before you can visit, you'll need to present a photo ID, fill out a visitation form, and be on the inmate's approved visitation list.

You may also notice a population summary on the Sheriff's Office jail pages - it shows the total inmate count broken down by category and gender. The roster view displays this too (for example, "299 inmates found").
