Kaufman County Arrest Records Search

Kaufman County, Texas – current inmates, recent jail activity, bonds and court cases

Find the Booking at 1900 US-175, Then Follow the Case Next Door

If someone was arrested recently in Kaufman County, start with the Sheriff’s own jail database. You can search by name, browse the current roster, look by charge, or use the Days option to narrow recent jail activity.

Once you find the right person, do not stop at the jail record. The county’s Justice Center is next door at 1902 E US Highway 175, and its online court portal can be searched by name, case number, date of birth, SO number or booking number. That second check tells you much more about what actually happened to the charge.

An arrest is not a conviction. A Kaufman County jail entry tells you that a person was booked or is being held under the information currently shown by the detention system. It does not prove guilt and does not replace the criminal court disposition.

Recent booking search

Use the Sheriff’s Days search instead of a third-party booking page

Kaufman County’s official inmate database has an unusual feature that is especially useful for this search: in addition to searching by name or charge, you can switch to Days and enter the number of recent days you want to review.

Open the official Kaufman County Jail database Use the Sheriff’s own inmate site rather than starting with a mugshot aggregator. Open Kaufman County Current Inmates

Select Days for recent activity The database provides separate options for Inmates, Charges and Days.

Enter the recent period you want to review Use a short range when the arrest occurred today or this week so you do not have to scan the entire roster.

Switch back to Inmates when you know the name A name search is faster once you know who you are looking for.

Use Charges when the name is unknown The site also allows searching by charge description and provides a View All Charges option.

Open the matching inmate record Do not rely on a name alone. Compare the available identity, booking and case details.

Save the SO or booking identifier You will need it for jail questions, court searching, mail and other inmate services.

Move to the court portal next Recent jail activity answers the custody question. The court record answers what happened to the criminal charge.

Important limitation: This is the Sheriff’s Current Inmates system, not a permanent historical archive of every person ever booked. Someone who bonded out or was released quickly may disappear from the current roster.

Search recent jail activity Contact Inmate Records

Current custody

How to confirm someone is still in Kaufman County Jail

Search the booked surname Try the exact legal name first. If nothing appears, shorten the search rather than adding extra spelling that may be wrong.

Use View All Inmates when necessary This helps when the name is misspelled, hyphenated or entered differently than expected.

Confirm the person using more than the name Compare the available date, SO number, booking information, charges and known arrest circumstances.

Call before driving to the jail A person may be releasing, in court, receiving medical care or moving within the system. Call Kaufman County Jail: 972-932-4337

The two addresses are easy to confuse: the Sheriff and jail are at 1900 E US-175. The Kaufman County Justice Center is at 1902 E US Highway 175. They are neighboring county facilities but serve different purposes.

Before you leave the roster

Save the details that will matter later

The jail record is useful only if you know what to carry into the next search
Information	Why save it	What it does not prove	Where it helps next
Booked name	Court records may use the formal booked spelling.	Identity when the name is common.	Tyler Smart Search and records requests.
SO number	It is the Sheriff’s local inmate identifier.	That every charge arose from one arrest event.	Court Smart Search, mail and jail services.
Booking number	It ties questions to a specific booking event.	The final prosecution outcome.	Court search and inmate records requests.
Admit or booking date	It helps distinguish a new arrest from an older case.	The exact offense time.	Records-request date range.
Charge	It tells you the allegation attached to the booking.	Guilt or the final filed charge.	Court case and prosecutor filing.
Bond	It helps prepare for release questions.	That paying one amount will release the person.	Bonding company, magistrate and court verification.
Arresting agency	That agency normally owns the offense or arrest narrative.	The Sheriff created the report.	Police public-information request.
Housing or pod	Kaufman visitation is scheduled differently by inmate group and pod.	The housing assignment will stay the same.	In-person visitation.

Before sending money or publishing an allegation: use at least two independent identity details. A matching name by itself is not enough.

When the search comes back empty

A missing roster result does not always mean there was no arrest

The person may still be processing Booking, identification, medical screening and data entry can occur before the public roster catches up.

The person may already be released The public site is labelled Current Inmates. A quick bond or release can remove the person from the live roster.

The name may be entered differently Try a shorter surname search, suffix, maiden name, hyphenated version or legal name.

The arrest may belong to another county Where someone lives or was stopped is not always where the final booking occurred.

A city agency may still hold the report Even after county booking, Kaufman, Forney, Terrell or Crandall Police may own the incident narrative.

The criminal case may be easier to locate Search the county court portal by party name and date of birth, SO number or booking number.

The event may not involve jail custody A citation or summons can create a criminal court case without a long county-jail stay.

The record may be legally restricted Juvenile, sealed, expunged and confidential information may not be publicly available.

What to say when calling the jail

I am trying to confirm the booking or current custody status of [full legal name], date of birth [date]. The arrest may have happened on [date] through [agency]. Can you confirm whether the person is still processing, currently housed, released, transferred, or listed under another booking or SO number?

Call 972-932-4337 Try the court search

The second half of the search

Follow the booking into Kaufman County court records

Kaufman County links directly to a Tyler Odyssey portal for public court searching. The Smart Search is more flexible than a basic name lookup and is especially useful when you copied the SO or booking number from the jail.

Open Kaufman County Court Search Open the official Tyler Odyssey portal

Choose Smart Search The portal accepts either a record number or a party name.

Use Last, First Middle Suffix order for names That is the format specified by the portal.

Use wildcard searching when spelling is uncertain The portal allows a minimum of three last-name characters followed by an asterisk and at least one first-name character followed by an asterisk.

Expand Advanced Filtering Options This is where Kaufman County’s court search becomes especially useful.

Add date of birth when names are common The portal provides DOB-from and DOB-to filters.

Try the SO number or booking number Both are available as party-search filters in the Smart Search.

Narrow by case type or case status You can also filter by filing dates and judicial officer.

Include Judgments when looking for an outcome The search can include cases and judgments and can filter judgment type and date.

Read every charge or cause separately One arrest can produce more than one criminal case, and different counts can end differently.

Local shortcut: The jail is at 1900 E US-175 and the Justice Center is next door at 1902. That does not mean the offices are interchangeable. Use the Sheriff for custody and booking questions; use the Clerk responsible for the court file when you need the legal case outcome.

Do not request the wrong report

The jail may hold the person even when another police agency made the arrest

If the booking shows a municipal police department as the arresting agency, request the offense or arrest narrative from that department. The Kaufman County Jail can confirm custody but does not automatically become the custodian of another agency’s investigation.

Bond and release

Do not hire a bondsman until you know every active charge

Confirm the correct inmate Match the name, SO number and booking information before discussing payment.

Write down every charge More than one case can create more than one release condition.

Confirm every bond amount and type Ask the jail whether any charge has no bond, a magistrate restriction or another special condition.

Ask whether another hold exists A person may remain in custody because of a second county, parole, federal matter or another warrant.

Use Kaufman County’s approved company list Do not rely on an unsolicited text or caller claiming to be connected to the jail.

Read the contract before paying Ask the bonding company to explain the premium, collateral, cosigner liability, check-in requirements and consequences of missing court.

Keep the receipt and cause information Save the company name, agent, payment amount, inmate identifier and case number.

Recheck custody before pickup Bond posting does not create an immediate release. Jail staff must clear every active matter first.

Fresh 2026 detail: the Kaufman County Bail Bond Board posts a notice that changes to its local rules became effective June 1, 2026. Use the current approved-company list rather than an old directory.

A normal in-person visit lasts 25 minutes

Only two in-person visits are allowed per inmate per week

Only one in-person visit is allowed per visitation day

Visitors must follow the published dress rules

No contact visits are allowed

Rule violations can lead to removal or future visitation bans

Children have narrower visit days. The Sheriff’s current rules state that visitors under 17 may visit only on Sundays for male inmates in A and C Pods and Saturdays for female inmates and males in B Pod. A parent, legal guardian or legal counsel must accompany the child.

Video visitation

NCIC video visitation is available after the visitor creates an account with the inmate communications provider. The Sheriff’s current page lists video visitation from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. every day at $0.30 per minute. It states there is no daily or weekly video-visit limit unless the inmate is restricted because of discipline.

No more than five pages per mailing

Write on the front side only

Maximum one photo per mailing

Do not send legal or medical mail to the Longview scanning address

Do not send magazines, newspapers, bulk mail or books to the scanning address

The Longview mail is scanned and destroyed after processing. The Sheriff’s page says material sent to PO Box 591 will not be returned or released after scanning. Do not send irreplaceable originals or sentimental photographs.

There are two mail references on the Sheriff’s website. The older Inmate Services page still displays a Kaufman PO Box, while the main Jail Info page gives detailed current instructions routing ordinary non-legal mail through PO Box 591 in Longview. For personal mail, follow the live Jail Info instructions immediately before mailing. Legal or medical mail should be confirmed directly with the jail.

Verify the current mail rules Call before mailing legal documents

Medical and mental-health concerns

Do not send medication through ordinary inmate mail

The Kaufman County Sheriff’s jail section identifies Turn Key Health as the correctional-health provider and provides a dedicated route for reporting an inmate mental-health concern.

Non-emergency health concern

Call the jail at 972-932-4337 and provide the inmate’s full name and SO number. Ask staff for the current procedure for communicating a medical concern to the correctional-health team.

Mental-health concern

Use the dedicated mental-health contact available from the Sheriff’s live Jail Info page. For an immediate life-threatening emergency, contact emergency services rather than relying on an online form.

Useful 2026 Kaufman County detail: the District Clerk’s expunction instructions say no certified-mail issuance fee is required for an agency when its email address is included in the petition/order. For an included agency without an email address, the county document lists a $25 certified-mail issuance fee effective September 1, 2025.

Kaufman-specific shortcuts

Seven details that can save a second search or wasted drive

Use Days for recent bookings

The Sheriff’s own database already provides a recent-days filter. You do not need a third-party mugshot site just to browse recent jail activity.

1900 and 1902 are different offices

1900 is the Sheriff/jail. 1902 is the Justice Center. Save yourself from walking into the wrong building with the wrong question.

SO number works in the court portal

Kaufman’s Tyler Smart Search includes an SO Number filter, which can be more precise than another broad name search.

Booking number also works in court search

The Smart Search includes a Booking Number field under party-search criteria.

Pod matters before visitation

Male A/C Pod and B Pod use different days. Confirm housing before leaving home.

Do not mail irreplaceable photos

The Longview processing page says scanned mail is destroyed after electronic delivery.

Released person missing?

Stop refreshing the Current Inmates page and move to Tyler court search or an inmate-record request.

Check the arresting agency

A Forney, Terrell, Kaufman or Crandall Police report must normally be requested from that city agency.

Use the 2026 bond list

Kaufman County posted Bail Bond Board rule changes effective June 1, 2026. Avoid an outdated bonding directory.

10 Kaufman County questions

Recent bookings and arrest-record questions answered

How do I search Kaufman County arrest records and recent bookings?

Use the Kaufman County Sheriff’s official Current Inmates database. You can search by inmate name, browse all inmates, search by charge description, or use the Days option to narrow the roster by a recent number of days. Open the matching record and save the SO number, booking information, charges and bond details before checking the Kaufman County court portal.

How do I see recent Kaufman County Jail bookings?

Open the official Kaufman County Jail inmate database and select the Days option. Enter the number of recent days you want to review. The tool is designed for the current jail roster, so a person who was released quickly may no longer appear. For an older or released booking, check court records or request the inmate or arrest record from the Sheriff’s Office.

What should I do if someone is not showing in the Kaufman County inmate search?

Try the surname again, review the recent-days view, and confirm that the person was actually booked into Kaufman County rather than another county or a city holding facility. A person may also be processing or already released. Call the Kaufman County Jail at 972-932-4337 when the current custody status is unclear, and check the county court portal for a criminal case.

Where is the Kaufman County Jail?

The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office and county jail are located at 1900 E US-175, Kaufman, Texas 75142. The main and jail phone number published by the Sheriff’s Office is 972-932-4337. The Kaufman County Justice Center is next door at 1902 E US Highway 175.

How do I search a Kaufman County criminal court case after an arrest?

Use the official Kaufman County Tyler Odyssey Smart Search. You can search by record number or party name and use advanced filters including date of birth, SO number, booking number, case type, case status, filing dates and judicial officer. Class A and B misdemeanor files are maintained by the County Clerk, while the District Clerk handles district-court records including felony matters.

How do I request a Kaufman County Sheriff’s arrest or offense report?

Use the Sheriff’s official Open Records Request form or email OPENRECORDS@KAUFMANSO.COM. The form asks for the case number if known, incident date and time range, location, incident type, documents requested, people involved and your preferred delivery method. If another police department made the arrest, request that agency’s report instead.

How do I visit an inmate in Kaufman County Jail?

Kaufman County uses different in-person visitation periods for female inmates, male A and C pods, male B pod and federal inmates. Local inmates are allowed two 25-minute in-person visits per week and one visit per visitation day. Visitors need valid photo identification. Video visits through NCIC are currently available from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily at a published rate of 30 cents per minute.

How do I send mail or messages to a Kaufman County inmate?

The Sheriff’s current Jail Info page directs ordinary non-legal inmate mail to the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office processing address at PO Box 591, Longview, Texas 75606. Include the inmate’s name, SO number and your return address. Mail is limited to five pages, scanned front-side only, and one photo is allowed per mailing. NCIC also offers electronic messages for 25 cents and picture or document messages for 35 cents.

How do I put money on a Kaufman County inmate account?

The Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office uses Tiger Correctional Services for online inmate trust deposits and commissary orders. Money orders may also be accepted through U.S. Mail or in person when completed according to the Sheriff’s instructions. Cash is not accepted for inmate accounts. Verify the inmate’s name and SO number before sending money.

Can a Kaufman County arrest record be expunged or sealed?

Some Texas arrest records may qualify for expunction and some eligible cases may qualify for an order of nondisclosure. Kaufman County publishes an expunction agency list that includes the District Clerk, County Clerk, District Attorney, Sheriff’s Office and Adult Probation. Eligibility depends on the exact charge and disposition, so obtain the complete court record before filing.

Accuracy and legal-use notice

Texas-arrest.org is an independent informational resource. It is not the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office, Kaufman County Jail, County Clerk, District Clerk, District Attorney, Public Defender, any city police department or a law firm.

Jail rosters, bonds, charges, housing assignments, visitation schedules, provider prices, court filings and office procedures can change. Recheck the official source immediately before visiting, mailing documents, paying money, posting bond or relying on a record.

An arrest or jail booking does not establish guilt. Criminal allegations should be checked against the corresponding court case and final disposition.

Official-source review completed August 23, 2026. Where the county did not publish a current detail – such as a dedicated US-175 visitor-parking fee or a guaranteed release-processing time – this article intentionally does not invent one.
