How to Stay Informed About an Inmate's Status: Updating Your Contact Information (San Saba County)
Want to keep receiving updates about a defendant's case and custody status? Your contact information needs to stay current in the right places. Here's how to sign up for notifications, submit the correct forms, and update your info if anything changes.
In San Saba County, the Confidential Information Sheet is where you sign up for notifications about key events - court proceedings, probation, parole, and release. Criminal justice professionals also use it to contact you throughout the process. An outdated phone number, email, or address means you could miss time-sensitive information. The Victim Impact Statement (VIS) serves a different purpose. The prosecutor, judge, and parole board use it to understand the emotional, psychological, physical, and financial impact of the crime. Keeping your contact information accurate on both forms ensures you can be reached when you've asked for updates, and keeps your statement connected to your case.
- Fill out the Confidential Information Sheet - This is the form used to contact you throughout the process.
- Choose the notifications you want - Use the form to elect your rights to notification for court proceedings, probation, parole, and release.
- Review your contact details before you submit - The notifications only help if the phone number, email, and other contact information on the form are accurate.
Once you've completed the paperwork, return the Confidential Victim Contact Information and Victim Impact Statement to the county or district attorney's office prosecuting the case. In San Saba County, that's the San Saba County Attorney's Office. This step gets your information into the case file so it can be used for notifications and follow-up.
If the defendant is convicted and sent to a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) facility, contact TDCJ Victim Services directly whenever your information changes. Reach them at 1-800-848-4284 or by email at victim.svc@tdcj.state.tx.us.
