Llano County Jail Records
Llano County does not appear to offer an official online jail roster, inmate-search portal, booking report, recent-bookings page, or mugshot gallery through the county website or the Llano County Sheriff's Office. That changes the normal search path. A current custody check should begin with the sheriff and dispatch number, then move to an in-person inquiry or a written public-information request if staff cannot release the needed detail by phone. The main county jail is Llano County Jail, operated by Sheriff Marquis Cantu at the law-enforcement complex in Llano.
A person booked in Llano County may be there after an arrest by the Sheriff's Office, Llano Police Department, Horseshoe Bay Police Department, DPS, a warrant officer, or another agency. Local custody can include pretrial misdemeanor or felony defendants, local sentenced jail time, parole violators, state-jail felony defendants, and people waiting on a transfer or court action. That is different from a sentenced state-prison record in TDCJ, a federal prison record in BOP, or an immigration detention record in ICE ODLS. Llano County inmate records therefore depend on where the person is held and which agency owns the record.
The county's sheriff page is the best official starting point for jail contact information. The page shown on the Llano County Sheriff's Office source identifies the sheriff, address, phone contact, and public-information link.
Use the sheriff source to confirm the official jail contact path before relying on third-party jail directories or old roster links.
Use Llano County Custody Channels
Because no official public Llano County jail roster was located, the practical search is a fallback chain rather than a web form. Start with a narrow identity set: full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and any case or warrant number. Staff may be able to confirm whether the person is in Llano County Jail, whether booking is complete, whether bond has been set, and what type of public information can be released by phone.
- Call the Sheriff's Office and dispatch line at 325-247-5767 for a current jail custody check.
- If phone release is limited, ask whether an in-person inquiry at 752 Andy Taylor Drive, Suite A, Llano, TX 78643 is appropriate and what ID is required.
- For booking records, jail records, mugshot requests, or incident reports not released by phone, use the Llano County public-information process.
- Search re:SearchTX or the county clerk offices for the court case that follows an arrest after the prosecutor files a charge.
- If staff say the person left county custody, ask whether the transfer was to TDCJ, BOP, ICE, another county, or a contract facility.
There is no documented Llano County sheriff mobile app for inmate lookup. VINELink Texas can help with custody notifications where a participating record is available, but it is not a substitute for the Sheriff's Office when the question is current Llano County Jail custody.
Llano County Roster Fields
The research did not locate an official searchable Llano County jail roster field set. That fact should keep searches grounded. Do not assume a public county web profile will show last-name search, booking number search, housing unit filters, photo fields, bond amounts, or release dates. Those items may exist in agency records, but the public route is a phone inquiry, counter inquiry, public-information request, or related court search.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official Llano County jail roster field located | n/a | n/a | County sources did not publish a searchable jail roster. |
For state custody, the search fields are different. The TDCJ Inmate Information Search can use a last name plus at least a first initial, or a TDCJ number or SID number. It also offers gender and race filters. TDCJ states that only current TDCJ inmates are included, updates occur on working days, and the information is at least 24 hours old.
| TDCJ Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Conditional | Needed with at least a first initial for name search. |
| First Name | Text | Conditional | At least first initial when using name search. |
| TDCJ Number | Text | Conditional | Can be used instead of name. |
| SID Number | Text | Conditional | Can be used instead of name. |
| Gender / Race | Dropdown | No | Optional filters for narrowing a state search. |
Llano County Inmate Record Details
No official public Llano County inmate-profile page was found, so a public user should not expect an online profile with every booking field. When available through the Sheriff's Office or the county public-information process, a booking record may include identity, booking, charge, bond, release, and hold information. A booking charge is not always the final filed charge. Prosecutors may amend, reject, or replace it after review.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Inmate name | Legal name used when the person was booked into jail. |
| Booking date and time | When jail staff processed the person into custody. |
| Arresting agency | The sheriff, city police, DPS, warrant agency, or other arresting authority. |
| Charge description | The arrest or booking charge before court filing may change it. |
| Bond amount and type | Cash, surety, personal recognizance, no-bond, hold, or per-charge bond if set. |
| Release status | In custody, bonded, released, transferred, or held for another authority if public. |
| Booking photo | May exist in agency records, but no official online Llano mugshot display was located. |
| Detainers or holds | Another county, parole, federal, or ICE hold if publicly releasable. |
For photos, the separate Llano County jail mugshots page explains the booking-photo request path and Texas law limits.
Llano County Jail vs TDCJ
County jail and state prison searches answer different questions. Llano County Jail is the local booking and pretrial custody point. TDCJ is the statewide prison system for people sentenced to state custody after conviction and transfer. BOP handles federal inmates, and ICE ODLS handles immigration detention. A Llano County arrest can move through more than one system, so the best question for staff is not only "is this person in jail" but also "which agency has custody now."
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or county sentence | Llano County Sheriff's Office at 325-247-5767 | Recent arrest, booking, bond, local hold, or release status. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | TDCJ Inmate Information Search | Current TDCJ custody after transfer from county court. |
| Federal inmate | Federal BOP Inmate Locator | BOP register number or federal name search. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE detainee search after immigration transfer or detention. |
| Notification | VINELink Texas | Custody alerts where the person or agency is included. |
Custody distinction: Llano County jail records are local booking records. TDCJ, BOP, and ICE records are separate systems with separate update cycles.
Llano County Jail Facility
Official facility mapping supports one detention-facility page for Llano County: Llano County Jail. TCJS June 2026 data reports a 54-bed county jail capacity and a total jail population of 33 on June 1, 2026. The same facility detail notes 15 inmates housed elsewhere and zero federal inmates in the total jail population column for that month. The current jail should not be confused with the historic Llano County Jail or Red Top Jail marker at 700 Oatman Street.
Llano County Jail
752 Andy Taylor Drive, Suite A
Llano, TX 78643
325-247-5767
Official visitation hours were not published online. Confirm by phone before travel.
The jail holds local arrestees, pretrial defendants, some sentenced misdemeanants or county-jail sentences, parole violators, state-jail felony defendants, and people waiting on transfer or court action. It is not a TDCJ prison, BOP institution, or ICE detention center.
Llano County Booking Process
Llano County did not publish a complete booking timeline, so the best description comes from the Texas local custody process. After arrest, the agency transports the person to county custody or another holding authority. Jail staff identify the person, inventory property, screen for medical and safety needs, take fingerprints, take a booking photo, enter arrest or booking charges, and place the person in temporary or classified housing. Classification means staff decide housing and supervision needs based on safety, medical, conduct, and charge factors.
Magistration is the early court step where a judge or magistrate addresses rights, probable cause, bond, and release conditions. Llano County's Justice of the Peace page links magistrate-court video access and lists JP offices, which supports that local first-appearance role. A person may be in jail before the formal prosecutor-filed complaint, information, or indictment appears in court records. For charge tracking after booking, use clerk and court sources rather than assuming the jail booking charge is final.
- PR bond
- Personal recognizance release based on a promise to appear and follow court conditions.
- Detainer
- A hold from another agency, such as parole, another county, federal court, or immigration authorities.
- Booking charge
- The arrest or intake charge recorded at jail before prosecution may change the filed case.
Llano County Visit Rules
The county pages reviewed did not publish a jail-specific visitation schedule, video-visit provider, mail-format rules, commissary vendor, phone provider, tablet program, or attorney-visitation rules. That gap matters because jail visit rules can change with staffing, safety concerns, holidays, court transport, and housing status. Confirm the schedule, accepted ID, dress code, visitor list, minor-child rules, and cancellation rules with the jail before driving to Llano.
| Topic | Official Status Found | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Not published on county site | Schedule, ID, dress code, visitor list, minors, and cancellation rules. |
| Video visitation | Not published on county site | Whether visits are in person, video, or suspended. |
| Not published on county site | Exact mail address, booking number need, photo limits, legal mail, and banned items. | |
| Money deposits | Not published on county site | Whether deposits are accepted and which vendor, if any, is authorized. |
| Commissary | Not published on county site | Access, spending limits, deposit limits, and restrictions. |
| Attorney visits | Not published on county site | Professional-visit scheduling and identification rules. |
Note: Do not send money through a vendor unless Llano County Jail confirms that vendor is authorized for the person in custody.
Llano County Records Requests
For jail records that are not available by phone, use Llano County's public-information route. The county public-information page says PIRR requests must be submitted through the county process by emailing the completed public-information request form as a PDF attachment to publicinformationrequest@co.llano.tx.us. It also lists fax 325.247.7732 and mail to Public Information Records Request, 801 Ford Street, Llano, TX 78643. Applicable fees set by law may be applied.
The Llano County public-information request instructions show the email, fax, and mail options for submitting a request.
A strong request names the person, approximate arrest date, arresting agency if known, the record sought, and a way to contact the requester about cost or clarification.
Llano County Money Questions
No official jail commissary provider, deposit vendor, fee table, kiosk location, online account link, or phone-provider account path was located on the county pages reviewed. The safest path is to confirm custody first, then ask jail staff whether the person can receive funds, what name or booking identifier is needed, whether deposits are accepted in person, online, by phone, or not at all, and whether any vendor fees apply. Do not rely on third-party vendor claims until the jail confirms the vendor for Llano County Jail.
Note: Confirm current custody with the jail before visiting, mailing items, setting up calls, or sending money.
