How to Visit Facility
Before you plan a trip to the jail, take a minute to confirm the person is still in custody and that the information you're looking at is current.
Start by confirming custody status. The Nacogdoches County Sheriff's site directs you to VINELink to check whether someone is currently in custody. This can save you an unnecessary drive if the person has been released or transferred.
If you use the jail's online inmate search, look for the "Last Updated" line on the page. The inmate list refreshes every hour, so that timestamp tells you how recent the data actually is before you plan your next move.
Records requests: To file an open-records request, email records@nac-sheriff.com or visit the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office during regular business hours.
- Check custody status through VINELink - The sheriff’s site points visitors to VINELink for custody-status checks.
- Confirm the inmate search is current - On the jail’s inmate search page, find the “Last Updated” timestamp and make sure you’re viewing a recent update (the list indicates it refreshes every hour).
- ✓ Email your open-records request to records@nac-sheriff.com
- ✓ Visit the Nacogdoches County Sheriff’s Office during regular business hours to file an open-records request in person
When timing matters, check the inmate search page's "Last Updated" timestamp before you rely on it. The list refreshes every hour, so that timestamp tells you whether you're looking at a current snapshot of the jail roster.
Double-check before you act: Confirm the sheriff's current guidance for custody-status checks (VINELink) and open-records requests (records@nac-sheriff.com or in person during business hours) on the official site, especially if you're working against a deadline.
