How do I search Kaufman County booking records?

Use the official Kaufman County Sheriff's current-inmate database. You can search inmates by name, search by charge description, view all inmates, view all charges, or search bookings over a selected number of days. Open the matching record and compare the person's identifiers before relying on the charges or bond information.

Can I see everyone currently in the Kaufman County Jail?

Yes. The official Kaufman County Jail search includes a View All Inmates option. Use it when you are unsure how the person's name was entered or when a name search is not returning the expected result.

Can I search Kaufman County inmates by charge?

Yes. The official jail database has a charge-description search and a View All Charges option. A charge listed in a booking record is an allegation associated with the custody event and does not by itself prove guilt or show the final court disposition.

How do I check a Kaufman County inmate's bond?

Open the person's current jail record and review each displayed charge and bond entry. If there is more than one charge, verify every bond separately. Before paying a bonding company, confirm the person's current custody status and use a company approved under the Kaufman County Bail Bond Board.

Why might someone remain in Kaufman County Jail after a bond is posted?

A posted bond does not always produce immediate release. Another charge, warrant, hold, judicial condition, paperwork requirement or release-processing step may still prevent discharge. Call the Kaufman County Jail at 972-932-4337 when the online record does not explain the delay.

How do I visit an inmate in Kaufman County Jail?

Kaufman County publishes in-person visitation by gender and housing pod. Inmates are generally limited to two 25-minute in-person visits per week and one in-person visit per visitation day. Adult visitors need valid photo identification. Remote video visitation through NCIC is available daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. at the currently published rate of 30 cents per minute.

What address should I use for personal inmate mail in Kaufman County?

The current Kaufman County Sheriff's Jail Info page directs ordinary non-legal inmate mail to the inmate's name and SO number, Kaufman County Sheriff's Office, PO Box 591, Longview, Texas 75606. The envelope must include the inmate's name, Sheriff's Office booking number and a return address. Legal and medical mail uses the Sheriff's Kaufman mailing route instead.

How do I add money to a Kaufman County inmate account?

The Kaufman County Sheriff's Office currently directs online trust-fund deposits and commissary orders through Tiger Correctional Services. Money orders may also be accepted by mail or in person when completed according to the Sheriff's instructions. Cash is not accepted for inmate accounts.

How do I check what happened to a Kaufman County criminal charge after booking?

Use the Kaufman County Tyler Odyssey court-record portal. Class A and Class B misdemeanor files are maintained by the County Clerk, while felony cases are maintained by the District Clerk. Search the court record rather than assuming the original jail charge became the final filed charge or conviction.

How do I request a Kaufman County Sheriff's arrest or incident record?

Use the Kaufman County Sheriff's Open Records Request form. Provide the case number when known, incident date and time range, location, type of incident, people involved and a specific description of the documents requested. The Sheriff states that accepting a redacted releasable copy can allow processing under its published Public Information Act procedure.

Follow a Kaufman County Booking From Intake to Release

If someone was recently taken to the Kaufman County Jail, start with the Sheriff’s live inmate list. You can search by name, charge description or number of days, or open the complete current-inmate list when you are unsure how the name was entered.

Once you find the person, slow down long enough to check every charge and every bond entry. A person with several charges may have different bond conditions on each case, and posting one bond does not necessarily mean the person is ready to walk out of the jail.

Three useful ways to search Kaufman County bookings

Kaufman County’s current jail search is unusually useful because you are not limited to typing a person’s name. The portal exposes separate search routes for inmates, charges and bookings over a selected number of days.

By inmate name

Use this when you know the person’s booked name.

If spelling is uncertain, use View All Inmates and scan the current list carefully.

By charge description

Use the Charges option when you are trying to identify current inmates associated with a particular displayed charge.

The portal also provides View All Charges.

By number of days

Use the Days option to look at bookings across a recent period.

The current search accepts a number from one to four digits.

Open the Sheriff’s current-inmate database Open Kaufman County Jail inmate search

Start with the name when you know it Use the name that is likely to have been used during booking rather than a nickname.

Use View All Inmates when a spelling may be wrong This is often faster than repeatedly guessing alternate spellings.

Use the charge search only as a second route Charge descriptions can be abbreviated and may not use the words a family member expects.

Open the possible match Compare the available identity, booking, charge, agency and bond information before doing anything involving money.

Save the SO or local identifier Kaufman County uses the inmate’s SO/local ID in mail and other jail services.

Write down every displayed charge Do not stop after the first row when more than one criminal matter appears.

Write down each bond separately One charge may be bondable while another matter still blocks release.

Recheck immediately before paying or visiting Housing, release and case status can change.

Booking result decoder

Read charges and bond without jumping to the wrong conclusion

What to capture from a Kaufman County booking
Item	Why it matters	What it does not prove	Next move
Booked name	Confirms the name used by the jail system.	Identity by itself when names are similar.	Compare another identifier before sending money.
SO / local ID	Helps identify the person for jail mail and services.	The outcome of a criminal charge.	Save it before closing the inmate page.
Booking or admit date	Places the person in the jail intake timeline.	The exact offense time.	Compare it with the arrest and court case.
Charge	Shows the allegation associated with that custody record.	That prosecutors filed or proved the same charge.	Check Tyler Odyssey for the filed case.
Bond	Shows a release amount or condition associated with a charge when one is listed.	That payment clears every case or hold.	Confirm all active matters with the jail.
Arresting agency	Helps identify who created the underlying law-enforcement report.	The Sheriff wrote the offense narrative.	Request the report from the agency that created it.
Housing	Helps with visitation and other custody questions.	The person will remain in that assignment.	Recheck before travelling.
Release status	Tells you whether the custody event appears to have ended.	Dismissal or acquittal.	Search the final court disposition.

Do not total bond amounts blindly. Some charges may have different release conditions, and another agency’s hold or warrant may not be solved simply by paying the amount you first see.

A simple example

Booking shows two charges

Charge A displays a bond. Charge B has a different condition.

Family pays Charge A

That payment addresses only the matter for which the payment was accepted.

Person remains in jail

Call the jail and ask what still prevents release instead of paying another party based on a guess.

No result

The person was arrested but does not appear in the roster

Booking may still be underway The public record may not be the first step completed during intake.

The name may be entered differently Open View All Inmates instead of repeatedly guessing the spelling.

The person may already have been released A current-inmate list is not necessarily a permanent historical arrest index.

The person may be held somewhere else Confirm where the arresting agency actually booked the person.

The matter may not have involved county-jail intake Some citations, summonses and other criminal processes do not create the jail record a family member expects.

The case may already be easier to find in court Search Kaufman County’s court portal when you have a name or case information but no current jail match.

What to say when calling the jail

I am trying to confirm whether [full legal name], date of birth [date if known], was booked into Kaufman County around [date/time]. I cannot find the person in the current inmate search. Can you confirm whether the person is still processing, currently housed, released, transferred, or listed under another booked name or SO number?

Charges, bond and release

Before paying bond, find out what still has to clear

The most expensive mistake on a booking page is assuming that one visible bond amount is the entire release problem. Treat each charge as a separate line that needs to be checked.

Verify the person Confirm the booked name and SO/local ID.

List every charge Write them down rather than relying on memory during a phone call.

Write the bond beside each charge Do not combine them until the jail confirms what is actually required.

Ask whether another hold exists Another warrant, jurisdiction or judicial condition can affect release.

Confirm the current bond before paying Court action may change a condition after the original booking entry.

Use a licensed Kaufman County surety when hiring a bondsman The county Bail Bond Board regulates companies that offer bail bonds in Kaufman County.

Get the premium and collateral terms in writing A surety-company fee is different from the bond amount displayed by the jail.

Do not promise an immediate release time Jail staff still must clear the person for discharge after the necessary release conditions are satisfied.

2026 local-rule update: Kaufman County’s Bail Bond Board currently posts a notice of changes to its local rules effective June 1, 2026. Use the current approved-company list rather than an old screenshot or directory.

Bond and release call script

I am calling about [booked name], SO number [number if known]. I see [number] charges. Can you confirm the current bond or release condition on each charge, whether there are any additional holds or warrants, and whether anything else must be cleared before release?

After the person is released on bond

Pretrial supervision may apply

A judge may place a released defendant under pretrial conditions or supervision.

Do not miss the court case

Release from jail does not end the prosecution. Save the court, cause number and next setting from the official court system.

Booking to court

Kaufman County splits misdemeanor and felony court records

This is one of the most useful local distinctions: Class A and Class B misdemeanor court files are maintained by the County Clerk; felony files are maintained by the District Clerk.
