Webb County, Texas Inmate Search

Webb County, Texas is home to one jail facility: the Webb County Adult Detention Center. The Jail is operated by the Webb County Sheriff’s Office, which also serves as the primary law enforcement agency in Webb County. The Sheriff’s Office provides a wide array of reliable public-facing resources for checking information about individuals in custody, including details on their arrests, custody status, and case dispositions.

Smaller temporary holding cells may exist at city police departments, such as the Laredo Police Department, with a corresponding jail roster showing recent arrests, initial lockups, bookings, or inmate transfers to the Webb County Jail or state-level penitentiaries elsewhere. But those are typically short-term holding cells, not full county jails.

How to Find an Inmate in Webb County Jail

In this capacity, it also serves as the official custodian for inmate and jail records. While individuals may visit the Sheriff’s office in person to request Webb County inmate records, there are more convenient ways to locate inmates.

The Sheriff provides a public online, interactive search tool that allows individuals to conduct a Webb County jail and bond record search from the comfort of their own computers. To use the system, users should be prepared to provide at least the inmate’s full name or booking number.

What Information is Included in the Webb County Inmate Roster

Upon initiating a Webb County inmate search online, the following information typically appears:

• The inmate’s full name
• Booking number
• Descriptive information such as race, age, and height
• Date of birth
• Date booked
• Date released (if any)
• Arresting agency
• Location and date of arrest
• Charges
• Custody status
• Bail information
• Court information and the date scheduled for the future hearing.

The records do not often represent the entire law enforcement record of the individual. According to the Texas Public Records Information Act, sensitive information about the inmate must be withheld, while the segregable portions of the records relating to the inmate’s custody status must be made available to the public. Commonly exempted records include:

• Inventory of the items found on the individual during arrest
• The offender’s victim information
• Records specifically sealed or made confidential by state or federal law

Inmates may seek expungement of their arrest and jail records expunged after release. Expunged inmate records will not appear in online search results pursuant to the order of a court.

These policies are put in place to balance the individual’s privacy with the transparency efforts of the Webb County government.
