The Maverick County Jail Inmate Roster is a public resource that allows anyone to check who is currently in custody at the county jail in Texas. The site MaverickCourt.us provides publicly available information about current and recently released inmates. Additionally, data is available through the official website of the Maverick County Sheriff's Office, by phone, or during a personal visit to the jail. A search in the roster allows you to find out if a specific person is in custody, what charges have been filed against them, and when the booking occurred. The roster is maintained by the Maverick County Sheriff's Office and is updated as new arrests and releases are processed. The county administrative center is located in Eagle Pass.
Search Current Inmates in Maverick Jail
There are several ways to find out if a person is held in Maverick County Jail.
Online Search

For the search, you will need:
- Full legal name

Juvenile offenders are not displayed in the public roster — this information is protected by Texas law.

Find Maverick Jail Booking Records Online
A booking record is created at the moment a detained person is officially processed into the jail. It is the first document that records a person's custody.
During booking, the following data is generated:
- Unique booking number
- Date and time of processing
- List of charges
- Name of the agency that made the arrest — for example, the sheriff's office, Eagle Pass Police Department, or the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
- Basic identification data of the detainee: name, date of birth, gender, race
Access to booking records can be obtained in several ways:
- Online Jail Roster — if the sheriff publishes an up-to-date roster on their website or through the county portal.
- Public Records Request — a written request to the sheriff's office under the Texas Public Information Act. The law requires public agencies to provide public information, although some data categories may be restricted.
- MaverickCourt.us — for searching related court records and charge information.
If the detainee has already been convicted and transferred to a state facility, records are maintained by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. For state-level criminal history checks, there is a DPS criminal history database.
Search the Maverick Jail Roster by Last Name or Booking Number
The jail roster typically supports two main search methods.
Search by Last Name
Enter the last name in the search field. If the system allows, add the first name to narrow the results. A few tips:
- Check the spelling — even one letter mistake can lead to an empty result.
- Try different spelling variations, especially for Hispanic surnames with two parts (e.g., Garcia Lopez or Garcia-Lopez).
- If the roster appears as a static list without a search field, use the browser function Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to find the last name on the page.
Search by Booking Number
The booking number is the most accurate identifier. The same number cannot belong to two different individuals. If relatives or a lawyer have provided you with this number, use it for an instant search.
If No Results
An empty result does not always mean the person was not detained. Here are possible reasons:
- The person has not yet been entered into the system — there can be several hours between physical arrest and the appearance of a record in the roster.
- The person has already been released on bail or by court decision.
- The person has been transferred to another facility — for example, to federal custody or another county jail.
- The name was recorded differently than you expect.
In such a case, call the jail directly at (830) 773-2321 and ask the operator.
Jail Roster Updates and Search Limitations in Maverick
The inmate roster is not an archive. It only displays those individuals who are in custody at the time of viewing.
Update Frequency
In most Texas county jails, the roster is updated periodically — from several times a day to once a day. The exact frequency depends on the jail's software and staffing schedule. The Maverick County Jail roster may not be updated in real-time, so there can be a noticeable gap between arrest and record appearance.
Known Limitations
| Limitation | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Delay after arrest | New records appear only after the booking process is completed — this can take from 1 to 8 hours. |
| Disappearance after release | The record is removed from the active roster as soon as the person is released. Former inmates are not displayed. |
| Data entry errors | The last name or date of birth may be entered incorrectly, complicating the search. |
| Transfers | If the detainee is transferred to a state or federal facility, the record disappears from the county roster. |
| Minors | Records of individuals under 17 are not published. |
For searching archival records or information about individuals who have already been released, submit a written public information request to the sheriff's office. If the case has been taken to court, court documents can be searched through the Texas State Law Library court records portal or through the county clerk's office (County Clerk).
