This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, schedule visits, or pull official booking records. Use the official office that holds the record or controls the custody decision.

Use the right channel for the type of record or action you need.

  • For someone in county jail custody, start with jail inmate records, then call McMullen Sheriff or Live Oak County Jail.
  • For booking photos, review jail roster mugshots and ask the agency that holds the booking record.
  • For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and contact the clerk or court office.
  • For the facility page, use the Facilities footer link for Live Oak County Jail.
  • For a sentenced Texas prisoner, use the TDCJ inmate locator rather than the county jail channel.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.

Court and Records Offices
