Coryell County Jail Overview

The Coryell County Sheriff's Office operates Coryell County Jail from its Gatesville office. The official facility address is 510 Leon Street, Gatesville, TX 76528, and the main jail and sheriff phone line is 254-865-7201. Sheriff Scott Williams is listed on the official sheriff biography page as the county sheriff from 2017 forward, and the same office publishes the jail roster, contact information, FAQ, and records request instructions used for Coryell County jail records.

Coryell County Jail is a county jail, not one of the six Texas Department of Criminal Justice units in the Gatesville area. It holds people booked by the sheriff, Copperas Cove Police Department, Gatesville Police Department, DPS, and other agencies when they are carried in the county jail system. The population can include local pretrial inmates, sentenced misdemeanants, felony pretrial inmates, bench warrant and blue warrant holds, state jail felony categories, and people waiting for transfer or held elsewhere under county reporting.

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports give the most useful current capacity data for the county jail. The June 1, 2026 Coryell row lists a county jail capacity of 139 and a total jail population of 115. It also reports 56 housed-elsewhere inmates, which means the county custody count is broader than the number of people physically seen at the Leon Street jail on a given day.

The official roster image from the manifest comes from the Coryell County current inmates roster, the sheriff-linked public custody list.

The screenshot shows why the jail page should be treated as a current custody tool: the public grid uses booking date, charge, bail, release, and agency fields rather than a prison sentence record.

Coryell County Jail Capacity

Coryell County Jail population figures should be read from TCJS county jail reports, not from TDCJ prison unit capacity pages. TCJS reported Coryell County Jail at 82.733812949640284 percent of capacity on June 1, 2026. The same reporting set listed Coryell County's countywide population at 86,370, average daily population at 165, and incarceration rate at 1.91 in the current incarceration-rate workbook. Those measures are county jail measures. They do not count the full TDCJ prison population housed at Crain, Hilltop, Hughes, Murray, O'Daniel, and Woodman.

Coryell County Jail Inmate Lookup

The correct online lookup for Coryell County Jail is the sheriff-linked current inmates roster. The sheriff FAQ says the jail roster updates in real time and says a person may also call 254-865-7201 to see if someone is in custody. This local roster is for current county jail custody. A person transferred to a TDCJ unit after sentencing should be searched through the TDCJ inmate locator, not through the Coryell County Jail roster.

1. Open the sheriff jail roster page or go directly to the current inmates roster.
2. Search by last name, first name, middle name, or SO Number. A broad surname search is often best if spelling is uncertain.
3. Review the row fields for name, book date, charge, bail, release, and agency.
4. Use the Detail link if the public interface returns a row profile. If it does not load, call the jail.
5. If the person is not listed, check TDCJ for sentenced prison custody, VINELink for alerts, BOP for federal sentenced custody, and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.

Coryell County Jail Contact

For a new booking, uncertain bond entry, missing roster row, or question about mail and visits, the jail phone line is the most direct official fallback. The sheriff contact page also lists a fax number and a Copperas Cove annex, but the annex is not documented as a separate jail facility. Written records requests go to the Gatesville sheriff address with the attention line for the records clerk.

Coryell County Jail Visits

Official sheriff pages reviewed did not publish a Coryell County Jail visitation schedule, video visit vendor, dress code, child visitor rule, attorney visit rule, or lobby hour table. Do not assume a commercial video provider or a fixed visit day. Call 254-865-7201 before traveling to the jail, especially when the person was booked the same day, may be in court, may be housed elsewhere, or may have moved to TDCJ after sentencing.

Coryell County Jail Mail

County jail mail, phone, and commissary rules were not posted in enough detail in the sheriff pages reviewed to publish a vendor name, kiosk fee, phone rate, commissary limit, or mail format. That lack of a posted vendor matters. Readers should not assume Securus, GTL, HomeWAV, ViaPath, or any other provider unless the jail confirms it. Use the jail phone line before mailing property, sending funds, scheduling a video visit, or buying phone credits.

The sheriff's records page does publish copy-cost information for records requests. Copies of 9 pages or less are listed with no charge, 10 pages are listed at $1.00, and each extra page is $0.10. External thumb drive fees are listed as $6.50 for 4GB, $8.50 for 8GB, and $10.50 for 16GB, with larger data varying. Those fees are for records copies, not commissary deposits.

Texas public access rules also shape the records fallback. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 is the Texas Public Information Act, and Section 552.108(c) preserves access to basic information about an arrested person, an arrest, or a crime even when some law-enforcement details may be withheld. For jail operations and population reporting, Texas Government Code Chapter 511 governs the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, while Texas Local Government Code Chapter 351 covers county jail and sheriff custody duties. These statutes do not make every jail file instantly public, but they explain why the roster, TCJS reports, and written records requests are the correct official channels.

Coryell County Jail Booking

Booking at Coryell County Jail begins after arrest, warrant service, or transfer by a local agency. The research found bookings tied to the sheriff's office, Copperas Cove Police Department, Gatesville Police Department, and DPS in roster data. Intake normally includes identity confirmation, property inventory, fingerprints, booking photo if taken, medical and mental health screening, charge entry, agency entry, bond or hold entry, classification, and housing assignment. The sheriff FAQ's real-time roster statement supports a fast public update, but a brand-new arrest can still lag while staff complete intake and magistration.

The jail charge is an arrest or booking charge. It is not always the final court charge. A magistrate, prosecutor, county court, district court, or grand jury can change what appears later in the formal case record. For that reason, the Coryell County Jail row should be used with court and bond follow-up, especially when the bail column shows $0.00, a hold, a blue warrant, or wording that could block release even when a dollar amount appears.

About Coryell County Jail

The jail sits in downtown Gatesville, close to the courthouse and county offices that handle court records, prosecution, and records follow-up. That geography matters because a family may need to check the roster, call the jail, ask the records clerk for a booking record, and then follow the case in court. The state prison cluster north of town adds another local wrinkle: a person can be in Coryell County geographically while still being in TDCJ custody rather than sheriff custody.

County jail program details were limited in the official sheriff pages reviewed. The research did not locate published county jail education, substance abuse treatment, work release, tablet, grievance, religious service, or reentry program details. TDCJ program pages should not be copied onto Coryell County Jail because those programs belong to state prison units, not the sheriff-operated jail.
