Bexar County jail inmate search

You can check recent custody records on the Bexar County Central Magistrate Search. A magistrate is a judge who reviews new arrests and sets bond conditions. This online list covers people processed by the Central Magistrate Office in the last 24 hours. Each entry shows details on the individual and their charges. If someone hasn't seen the judge yet, they won't appear on the list, so call 210-335-6315 to ask about them.

Police bring arrested people to the Adult Detention Center at 200 North Comal Street. During the jail booking process, officers record fingerprints and charges before a judge sees the person. The online list only covers people processed by the Central Magistrate Office in the last 24 hours. Because of that step, a brand new arrest won't show up right away. Call 210-335-6315 to check on an arrest from earlier tonight, or view the county's Inmate Information page.

Jail staff answer the main phone line at all hours. The Adult Detention Center directory and Detention Administration directory list three numbers:

• 210-335-6315: Adult Detention Center main phone number for custody checks.
• 210-335-6010: Administration Office line for office matters, not general inmate lookups.
• 210-335-6219: Detention Administration line for facility management questions.

Call the main number first when you're looking for someone in custody.

A bond is a financial guarantee that an arrested person will return for court. In Texas, release options include a cash deposit, a personal bond, or a commercial bail bond. A personal bond is a judge's release on a written promise to appear without paying upfront. Bonding companies in Texas work under county bail bond boards. Check the Inmate & Bond Information page or call 210-335-6315 for bond amounts. See the Texas inmate search page for state bail rules.
