Where to Start for a DeWitt County Record
For local jail custody, begin with the DeWitt County Office of the Sheriff, led by Sheriff Carl Bowen, at 208 East Live Oak Street, Cuero, TX 77954. The jail phone is 361-275-0034, the administrative line is 361-275-0899, and 24/7 dispatch or non-emergency routing is 361-275-5734. The DeWitt County Jail is the local booking facility, while court, state-prison, federal, immigration, and notification records follow different routes.
- For a person believed to be in DeWitt County Jail, use jail inmate records, the Citizen Connect inmate confinements portal, or the jail line at 361-275-0034.
- For booking photos or the public limits on photo access, use jail roster mugshots and the sheriff/jail public-information request route under Texas Government Code Chapter 552.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest. County-court and misdemeanor indexes route through the DeWitt County Clerk, while felony and district-court records route through the DeWitt County District Clerk.
- For a facility-specific question, review the footer links for DeWitt County Jail and Clarence N. Stevenson Unit before calling, because the county jail and TDCJ state prison use different systems.
- For a sentenced Texas prisoner, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator; for immigration custody, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
- For custody-status alerts where available, use VINELink Texas and confirm whether the agency or record participates.
