Where to Start for Jail, Court, or Custody Questions
For current local custody questions, start with Hays County Jail at 1307 Uhland Road, San Marcos, TX 78666. The jail main number is 512.393.7800. Jail Records can be reached at 512.393.7832, Bond Information at 512.393.7807 or 512.393.7690, and Visitation at 512.393.7366. The Hays County Sheriff's Office administrative location is 810 S. Stagecoach Trail, San Marcos, TX 78666, with business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
For court records after an arrest, felony matters generally route to the Hays County District Clerk at 512.393.7660, while misdemeanor and county-court matters generally route to the Hays County Clerk at 512.393.7330. When a record is not available through the public access system, Hays County also provides a GovQA/open-records portal and Texas Public Information Act request channels through the county's public-information process.
- For someone held in local adult custody, use the jail inmate records guide and the Hays County Jail records phone line.
- For booking photos, start with jail roster mugshots and then use Jail Records or a public-information request if the photo is not visible online.
- For charges and court filings after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and contact the District Clerk or County Clerk based on the case type.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Hays County Jail page listed in the footer for address, phone, visitation, and jail operations context.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use Texas Department of Criminal Justice resources rather than the Hays County Jail custody path.
- For federal custody or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, because those records are not controlled by Hays County Jail.
