Check a Recent WilCo Booking Before Calling the Jail
If someone was arrested recently in Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, Taylor or another part of Williamson County, start with the county’s official Jail Records search. Use the person’s name or booking number, then save the booking information before you start calling courts, bond companies or records offices.

“Recent arrest” can mean three different things
This can happen before the county jail finishes creating a searchable booking record.
For a recent-arrest search, this is often the most useful date to save with the booking number.
A released person can still have an open criminal case even though the person is no longer in jail.

Recent arrest and booking-report FAQs
How do I check recent arrests in Williamson County Texas?
Open the official Williamson County Records Inquiry and select Jail Records. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office directs users to search jail records by first and last name or by booking number. Open the matching jail record and verify the person’s name, booking information, charges and bond before relying on it.
Where can I find someone who was recently booked into the Williamson County Jail?
Search the Williamson County Records Inquiry under Jail Records. If a recent arrest is not appearing or the person’s status is unclear, call Williamson County Jail Information at 512-943-1365. The jail reception entrance is at 306 W. 4th Street in Georgetown.
Is a Williamson County jail record the same as a booking report?
No. The online Jail Records inquiry is a public lookup used to locate booking and custody information. A booking sheet is an actual Sheriff’s Office record that may be requested through the Sheriff’s Open Records process. An arrest or offense report is a separate document describing the incident, and the criminal court case is maintained by the appropriate County Clerk or District Clerk.
How do I request a Williamson County booking sheet or arrest report?
For a Williamson County Sheriff’s Office incident report, arrest report or incarceration verification, call 512-943-1300 and follow the Records options. Some public records can be handled verbally. If a written request is required, submit a specific Texas Public Information Act request to the Sheriff’s Open Records Division and identify the person, date, location, case or incident number and the exact record needed, such as a booking sheet or offense report.
Why is a recent Williamson County arrest not showing in the jail search?
Possible reasons include ongoing booking, a quick release, an alternate name spelling, booking in another county, or a cite-and-release case that did not involve a normal jail stay. Search the court records as well and call Jail Information at 512-943-1365 if the person’s current custody status remains unclear.
How do I find the bond for a Williamson County inmate?
Use the Williamson County Records Inquiry and review the jail or jail-bond information for the correct person. Confirm all cases before paying because separate charges or holds may affect release. Williamson County recognizes cash, surety and personal bonds. Only a judge can approve a personal recognizance bond.
How do I visit someone in Williamson County Jail?
Williamson County uses video visitation. Family may visit during approved times unless prohibited by court order, and an inmate may identify up to five friends as visitors. Visitors should arrive 15 minutes early with a current state-issued ID and bring only ID and keys. Visits last 20 minutes, with up to two visits per week and one visit per day. NCIC handles visitation accounts.
What is the Williamson County inmate mailing address?
Regular personal postal mail is sent to NCIC-Williamson County Jail, Inmate Name-SO Number, P.O. Box 591, Longview, TX 75606. The inmate’s name and booking or ID number must be clearly printed on the envelope or postcard. Legal mail, court documents, books and approved publications are sent separately to Williamson County Jail, inmate name and date of birth, P.O. Box 2119, Georgetown, TX 78627.
How do I add money to a Williamson County inmate account?
For the inmate trust account, Williamson County lists Access Corrections online, 866-345-1884, a kiosk in the jail lobby, or a money order or cashier’s check mailed to Inmate Trust Fund, inmate name and date of birth, P.O. Box 1939, Georgetown, TX 78627. NCIC separately handles inmate telephone account deposits.
How do I verify what happened to a Williamson County arrest in court?
Search the Williamson County Judicial Records system for the related criminal case. Class A and Class B misdemeanor records are maintained through the County Clerk and County Courts at Law, while felony criminal records are maintained through the District Clerk and District Courts. Read the actual court disposition rather than assuming the booking charge was the final outcome.
