Individuals searching for information on inmates in Texas have a number of different resources which they might use. There are searches for inmates on the county level, and there are searches for inmates on the state level. On the state level, one might go to the Texas inmate search service available on the Texas Department of Criminal Justice website.
This Texas inmate locator service allows searchers to find information on inmates online, through email, or through a telephone call, depending upon personal preference and availability. The information obtained through the Texas inmate search service is relatively general when searched by any given user. Such information includes the inmate’s Texas Department of Criminal Justice identification number, the inmate’s current location in incarceration, the inmate’s offense which led to his or her incarceration, his or her release date based on the conviction and on current projections, and any information regarding the inmate’s prior incarceration and conviction history. This Texas inmate locator service is free to all users. No photographs will be given as part of this Texas inmate search service.
For those who are looking for information on inmates within a particular county, however, then examining the county inmate search service may be a better plan than using the overall Texas inmate locator service. Such individual county services include the Harris County inmate search and the search service for Cameron County inmates. The Harris County inmate search service is available on the Harris County sheriff’s department website, where an individual can provide an inmate’s name, birth date, SPN identification number of Social Security Number in order to find information regarding a particular inmate.
The Harris County inmate search is entirely available online. In the case of Cameron County, a listing is available online of all current Cameron County inmates. This list provides information including the charge of arrest for those Cameron County inmates, the current price of bail, and the date of booking. Photographs and more information on each of the Cameron County inmates are also available.
