Maverick County Inmate Search
Maverick County arrest records are maintained by the Maverick County Sheriff's Office in Eagle Pass, Texas, a border city on the Rio Grande. When someone is arrested in Maverick County, booking records are created that document the charges, bond information, and custody status. This page describes how to find those records, how to contact the Sheriff's Office, and which state-level resources are available for researching arrests and incarceration in Maverick County.
Maverick County Sheriff's Office Arrest Records
The Maverick County Sheriff's Office is located at 1051 Balboa-Jones Blvd, Eagle Pass, TX 78852. The main phone number is (830) 773-2321. As the primary law enforcement agency for the county, the Sheriff's Office handles bookings for all individuals arrested by county deputies, the Eagle Pass Police Department, and other state and federal agencies operating in the area. Law enforcement activity in Maverick County is notably elevated due to the county's location on the U.S.-Mexico border.
When someone is booked into the Maverick County Jail, the booking record captures their full name and aliases, date of birth, sex, race, physical description, booking date, charges, arresting agency, and bond information. Booking photographs are taken during intake and become part of the public arrest record. These records are public under the Texas Public Information Act, Chapter 552 of the Texas Government Code.

Border County Law Enforcement Context
Maverick County sits directly on the Rio Grande across from Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico. This location means the county has a higher-than-average rate of law enforcement activity, including border security operations involving U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Maverick County Sheriff's Office. Federal agencies may arrest individuals in the area and transfer them to federal detention, which is why checking both local and federal resources is important when researching arrests in Eagle Pass.
Federal arrests in Maverick County typically involve immigration charges or drug trafficking and result in detention at federal facilities rather than the county jail. The Bureau of Prisons at www.bop.gov/inmateloc is the right tool to use if you believe someone is in federal custody following an arrest in the Eagle Pass area.
Note: State-level arrests by Texas DPS or Maverick County Sheriff's deputies result in county jail bookings, while federal arrests lead to federal detention.
State Resources for Maverick County Cases
For individuals convicted in Maverick County and later transferred to a state prison, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search at inmate.tdcj.texas.gov. This tool covers all TDCJ-managed state facilities. You can search by name, TDCJ number, or state identification number. It shows current facility location, offense history, and projected release dates for applicable cases.
For a broader criminal history check across all Texas counties, the Texas Department of Public Safety provides a name-based search for $3 at publicsite.dps.texas.gov. This is especially useful for Maverick County because of the high volume of law enforcement contacts and the possibility that someone may have prior arrests in other Texas counties as well.
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards at www.tcjs.state.tx.us oversees county jail operations statewide. Maverick County Jail is subject to annual inspections under TCJS rules. Inspection reports and compliance records are public and can be requested from TCJS.
Texas Public Information Act Requests
To request specific arrest records from Maverick County, submit a written request to the Sheriff's Office. Include the full name of the person you are researching, their date of birth if you know it, and the approximate date of the arrest. Written requests create a clear record of your inquiry and are required for detailed records beyond basic booking information. The agency has 10 business days to respond.
If a record is withheld, the agency must notify you and, in most cases, seek a ruling from the Texas Attorney General before denying access. The Texas Attorney General's office handles open records disputes and can compel disclosure when agencies improperly withhold public records. You can file a complaint at www.texasattorneygeneral.gov if you believe your request is being improperly denied.
Records of individuals who have had their arrests expunged will not appear in any standard records search. Expunctions are processed through the district court under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. Once an expunction order is issued, the Sheriff's Office and all other relevant agencies must destroy or return the records they hold.
