Crockett County Jail Overview
Crockett County Jail is the primary and only local detention facility identified in the research. It is operated by the Crockett County Sheriff's Office, and the official sheriff page names Victor De La Garza as county sheriff. The same page lists the sheriff and jail address at 121 S. Hwy 163, P.O. Box 1931, Ozona, TX 76943, with phone 325-392-2661 and fax 325-392-2045.
The facility type is county jail. It holds local pretrial detainees, bench-warrant detainees, convicted county jail inmates, state-jail felony detainees awaiting disposition or transfer, and occasional housed-elsewhere or hold categories. No separate Ozona city jail, county annex, work-release center, TDCJ unit, BOP prison, or ICE detention center was identified inside Crockett County through official sources.
Crockett County Jail Capacity
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports provide the strongest official capacity and population figures for Crockett County Jail. The June 1, 2026 County Jail Population workbook listed the jail with 24 beds and 8 people in total jail population, or 33.3 percent of capacity. The first six 2026 snapshots ranged from 8 to 12 people. Captured 2025 snapshots ranged from 8 to 16 people, all below the 24-bed rated capacity.
TCJS data also showed 6 local male pretrial felons and no federal inmates in the June 1, 2026 captured row. Earlier 2025 and 2026 rows sometimes showed 1 or 2 housed-elsewhere cases, which means a person tied to Crockett County may occasionally be held outside the jail even though the county has its own facility.
Look Up Crockett County Jail Inmates
Current Crockett County Jail inmate lookup starts with the Southern Software Crockett County public portal and the Crockett County booking search. The booking endpoint blocked automated access during research, so live field labels should be read in a normal browser. If the search has no result, the sheriff phone line is the correct local fallback.
- Open the Southern Software Crockett County public portal.
- Select the booking search or inmate confinement option.
- Complete any human-verification prompt that appears.
- Search by the fields shown on the live form.
- Call 325-392-2661 if the person is not listed or the arrest is recent.
Use VINELink for custody-status notifications where available. Use the TDCJ locator after state prison transfer, the BOP locator for federal sentenced prisoners, and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
Crockett County Jail Address
The sheriff page gives one public sheriff and jail contact point. It does not publish a separate detention division number, booking desk, jail administrator, records unit email, lobby hours, or intake hours. Use the main number for current custody, records routing, visitation confirmation, bond questions, and public-information request instructions.

Crockett County Jail Visitation
Crockett County did not publish a jail visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit policy, or holiday schedule in the captured official pages. Visitors should call before travel and ask about the current schedule, required identification, check-in location, property rules, and whether visits are canceled because of security or staffing needs.
| Topic | Official detail located | Practical instruction |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not located | Call 325-392-2661 before visiting |
| Visitor ID | Not located | Bring government photo ID and confirm exact rules |
| Remote or video visits | No vendor confirmed | Do not pay a vendor unless the jail confirms it |
| Attorney visits | Not located | Attorneys should call the jail or court directly |
| Holiday or lockdown rules | Not located | Call ahead because small jails may cancel visits |
Mail and Money at Crockett County Jail
The research did not locate a Crockett County Jail mail policy, inmate phone vendor, commissary vendor, online deposit provider, kiosk rule, tablet program, or fee schedule. Do not assume a vendor such as Securus, GTL, HomeWAV, JailATM, Access Corrections, JPay, or another provider. The safe instruction is to call the jail before mailing items, sending money, or opening a paid account.
| Service | Published detail | Instruction |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address format | No separate inmate mail format found | Ask whether to use the highway address or P.O. Box and whether a booking number is required |
| Allowed mail | No rule sheet found | Confirm cards, photos, books, and publication rules before mailing |
| Money deposits | No vendor found | Call before using any online deposit service |
| Phone account | No provider found | Ask how new inmates make calls and how family can fund calls |
Crockett County Jail Booking
A typical local arrest is taken to Crockett County Jail for intake. Jail staff record identifying information, inventory property, complete fingerprints and booking photographs when required, ask medical and safety questions, enter charges and warrants, and hold the person until release, bond, magistrate appearance, transfer, or court order. Crockett County did not publish a step-by-step local booking manual or roster refresh schedule.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 requires a prompt magistrate warning after arrest and generally no later than 48 hours. The magistrate explains rights and may address bond. The booking charge shown by a jail record can differ from the charge later filed by the prosecutor, so court records should be checked separately after filing.
Crockett County Jail Bond
No Crockett County bond desk, payment method list, online bond portal, or bondsman procedure was found in the official sheriff page. Call the jail before attempting to post bond. Ask whether the bond is cash, surety, personal, or no-bond; where payment is accepted; whether exact cash, cashier's check, money order, card, or bonding paperwork is allowed; and whether another hold blocks release.
| Release issue | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | Money posted with the court or jail to secure appearance |
| Surety bond | Bonding company or surety guarantees appearance |
| Personal bond | Release based on promise to appear, sometimes with conditions |
| Detainer or hold | Another agency may block release even if local bond is posted |
Crockett County Jail Records Requests
For booking records, jail logs, release records, incident reports, or booking photographs not available online, ask the Crockett County Sheriff's Office how to make a Texas Public Information Act request. The research did not locate a county sheriff records-request form, so callers should ask whether requests should be mailed, faxed, emailed, or made in person. Court files after charges are filed should go to the clerk or court instead of the jail.
The TCJS open-records request page is useful for TCJS-held records and jail standards material, not as a substitute for sheriff-held booking records.
Use TCJS for state jail-standards records, and use the sheriff for Crockett County Jail custody records created locally.
About Crockett County Jail
The county site did not publish a jail history, year built, housing-unit map, accreditation page, construction bond, commissary program, tablet program, reentry service list, grievance process, or current conditions report. TCJS remains the main statewide standards source for county jail oversight, and recent TCJS population data shows the jail below rated capacity in the captured snapshots. A possible TCJS non-compliance PDF was encountered during research but was not text-reviewed, so it should not be summarized without manual review.
No official Crockett County sheriff or Ozona police mobile app was located. For mobile-style custody notification, the documented public path is VINELink, which is linked from the sheriff page. For a broader view of jail standards, use the TCJS jail standards page.
That state standards source helps explain who oversees Texas county jail rules even when a small county site does not publish detailed jail operations pages.
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, mail, and money rules with Crockett County Jail before traveling or paying any vendor.
