Leon County Texas Jail Inmate Search

Hello friends, my name is Mahesh Kumar. I help many people understand Texas public records, especially in smaller East Texas counties like Leon.

Leon County (Centerville area) has searches for “Leon County Texas jail inmate search”, “arrest records”, “jail roster”, and “who is in jail”. That is why I write this simple, practical guide – all from official sources only, no third-party sites.

In Texas, jail records and arrest information are public. But in small counties like Leon (population around 17,000), online tools are limited. The Leon County Sheriff’s Office runs the jail and recommends official ways. Let me guide you step by step.

How to Check Current Inmates and Recent Arrests in Leon County Texas

The Leon County Sheriff’s Office manages the jail. They do not have a full public online jail roster right now. The official recommended way is to use VINELink (statewide victim notification system that shows custody status).

Step-by-Step Guide to Use VINELink for Inmate Search

1. Go to the official VINELink website: www.vinelink.com
2. Select Texas as the state.
3. Search by the person’s full name or offender ID (if known).
4. Filter to Leon County or Leon County Jail if options appear.
5. You will see custody status, location (if in county jail), and release information.

This is free, official, and updates regularly. You can also register for notifications.

Official county website mentions: “Visit VINELink.com to check the custody status of your Offender.”

Sheriff’s page: www.co.leon.tx.us/page/leon.sheriff Jail address: 606 E. St. Mary’s Street, Centerville, TX 75833 Phone: (903) 536-2749 – call them directly for current inmate list or recent arrests (best for small counties).

This is the most accurate way for Leon County jail records.

How to Search Criminal Court Records Related to Arrests in Leon County Texas

Arrests lead to cases in county or district courts. Online access is limited, but you can use statewide tools or contact the clerk.

Options for Court Records

1. Try the statewide portal: research.txcourts.gov (re:SearchTX) – search by name and select Leon County.
2. Contact the Leon County District Clerk or County Clerk directly:
   • Phone: (903) 536-2352
   • Address: PO Box 98, Centerville, TX 75833
3. Some case payments/info at: newtools.cira.state.tx.us/page/leon.CriminalCourt

For full details, a visit or phone call works best in small counties.

How to Get Detailed Arrest Reports or Older Records in Leon County Texas

Full police reports, booking details, or old records are not online. Make a public information request to the Sheriff’s Office.

Step-by-Step Guide to Request Records

1. Visit the county website: www.co.leon.tx.us/page/leon.sheriff or call them.
2. Submit a written request (email, mail, or in person).

Here is a simple sample request you can copy:

Important Tips from My Experience

• Leon County is small, so VINELink + calling the Sheriff is the fastest and most reliable.
• Avoid third-party websites – they often have wrong or old information for small counties.
• If the person is in state prison (longer sentence), use TDCJ Offender Search at tdcj.texas.gov.
• Always have full name and date of birth for better results.

I hope this complete step-by-step guide makes it very simple for you to do Leon County Texas jail inmate search and find arrest records. Everything is official.
