Jim Wells County Busted Mugshots is a private reference, not a government office. It cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, or pull official booking records. Those requests belong with the responsible public office listed below.
Official Jim Wells Contacts
Use the sheriff’s department for direction on a current county-custody matter and the County of Jim Wells Record Request Department for a written public-information request. The department office, jail facility, and records-request destination use different addresses in county materials. The sheriff’s office is at 300 N Cameron Street, while the county jail notice identifies a separate jail location at 300 N Almond Street. Send a written request to the records department rather than assuming the sheriff office is the document custodian.

The sheriff page is the official department contact source. The county PIA page provides the public-information request route. County research does not publish a separate booking-photo records line, a fixed photo fee, or a guaranteed response time. For an identified county booking record, include the person’s name, a date or date range, booking number if known, and the record sought.
Where a Record May Be Held
Choose the source by custody state and record type. The current roster is a county-custody starting point, while a city case, court case, state-prison placement, federal custody, and immigration detention each use separate systems. The following official routes help identify the office that can address the relevant record.
| Need | Official route | What the route covers |
|---|---|---|
| Current Jim Wells County custody | Jim Wells County Jail page | The official page links to the current roster. Its public search fields, booking-photo behavior, update cadence, and release persistence were not verified during research. |
| Older or releasable county booking material | County public-information request | A written request can seek an identified existing county record when the roster is unavailable or a person is no longer in current custody. |
| Jim Wells County court activity | 79th Judicial District Clerk | Court records may show a cause number, hearing, or disposition after booking. They are not a substitute for the jail intake record. |
| Texas state-prison custody | TDCJ Inmate Search | This locator concerns Texas Department of Criminal Justice custody, not every Jim Wells County arrest or pretrial booking. |
| Federal or immigration custody | BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator | These are separate federal and immigration detention channels, not county jail or state-prison sources. |
A booking entry records an accusation and a custody stage, not guilt or a final court outcome. If a city police report is needed, contact the city agency that handled the event. If a person is released, the current roster may no longer be the right source, while a written county request or court record may still be relevant.
