Understanding the Willacy County Jail roster: what the entries and bond amounts mean

The Willacy County Jail roster is a snapshot of who's in custody when the list was generated. The header shows the roster date and total inmate count. Below that, each entry is organized by name and charges - usually numbered so you can match each charge to its corresponding line item.

Charges are typically numbered ("1.)" and "2.)"), with bond information matching those same numbers. A sample entry might list two charges, then show "1.) $10,000" and "2.) $5,000" - separate bond figures tied to each count. Sometimes you'll see "NO BOND" next to specific charges, so one count might have a dollar amount while another is marked "NO BOND."

Note: Willacy County says it makes “reasonable efforts” to keep the inmate list accurate, but the county and the Willacy County Sheriff Department “do not warrant the accuracy” of the information and aren’t responsible for any inaccuracies.

Bond amounts on the roster are shown per charge, not as a single total for the whole case. That's why you'll see multiple bond figures under numbered counts - like "1.) $10,000" and "2.) $5,000." Each bond figure pairs with a specific charge using the same numbering system.

NO BOND on the roster: Some charges are shown with “NO BOND.” On the roster itself, that’s a signal that those specific counts are listed as not bondable there - so don’t assume every charge has a bond amount attached.

The roster can't give you a guaranteed, real-time answer about someone's current status or what happens next. Since the county explicitly disclaims accuracy, treat the online roster as a starting point - not the final word. Want to know if the listed bond amounts are current, whether any counts are marked "NO BOND," or what options exist? Call the jail directly. A bail bond company can help you interpret the bond figures, but you'll still want the jail to confirm current status.
