Contact

Where to Ask

For jail custody and sheriff records, the official Brown County contact is Sheriff Vance Hill's office at the public-safety complex in Brownwood. The Brown County Sheriff's Office lists the jail line and public-information request contact separately, which matters when a roster lookup does not answer the question.

Use the routing list below to choose the office or locator that fits the record type. Brown County jail custody, court filings, state-prison records, federal custody, and immigration detention are separate systems.

• For someone in Brown County jail custody, start with jail inmate records and call the jail line if the roster does not resolve the question.
• For a booking photo, use the jail roster mugshots page first, then request records from the sheriff if the photo is not online.
• For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and route felony matters to the District Clerk or District Attorney, county matters to the County Clerk or County Attorney, and municipal cases to Brownwood Municipal Court.
• For facility-specific details, use the Brown County Detention Center page or the Brownwood Police Department Holding / Municipal Court Complex page listed in the footer.
• For a sentenced Texas prisoner, search the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate locator rather than the county jail roster.
• For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
