Eastland County Inmate Population Overview
The Eastland County inmate population is reported as a county-jail population, not as a network of separate local detention centers. The Facility Map identifies one detention facility physically tied to the county research: Eastland County Jail, operated by the Eastland County Sheriff's Office. People counted in the county jail population can include local pretrial misdemeanor detainees, local pretrial felony detainees, convicted county inmates, parole violators, state-jail-felony detainees, and people waiting on transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
The official county pages reviewed do not show a browser-based jail roster. That matters because readers may search for a web roster and miss the county's own routing. The sheriff and jail information pages point the public to the Eastland County Sheriff TX mobile app for jail and inmate information. If the app does not answer the question, the jail phone, sheriff phone, and Texas Public Information Act request process become the fallback chain.
Eastland County Inmate Population Statistics
The best official source for Eastland County inmate population figures is the Texas Commission on Jail Standards county population reports. TCJS publishes county-level workbooks based on jail-submitted data. The June 1, 2026 current population workbook lists Eastland County Jail with 97 beds and 60 total inmates. The companion incarceration-rate workbook lists an average daily population of 71, a countywide population figure of 18,290, and an incarceration rate of 3.88 for the same reporting period.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 97 beds | TCJS PopRptCurrent.xlsx, Eastland row, June 1, 2026 |
| Total jail population | 60 | TCJS PopRptCurrent.xlsx, Eastland row, June 1, 2026 |
| Percent of capacity | 61.86% | TCJS PopRptCurrent.xlsx, Eastland row, June 1, 2026 |
| Average daily population | 71 | TCJS IncarcerationRateCurrent.xlsx, Eastland row, June 1, 2026 |
| County population used for rate | 18,290 | TCJS IncarcerationRateCurrent.xlsx, Eastland row, June 1, 2026 |
| Incarceration rate | 3.88 | TCJS IncarcerationRateCurrent.xlsx, Eastland row, June 1, 2026 |
The TCJS population-report landing page is the source used for Eastland capacity, current population, and incarceration-rate workbooks.
That state source is better for population figures than a daily roster because it shows capacity and county-level jail reporting in one place.
Eastland County Jail Population Trends
Early 2026 TCJS rows show the Eastland County inmate population stayed below rated capacity in each inspected month. The point-in-time population moved between 60 and 71 people, while the average daily population stayed in a narrower 69 to 71 range. That means the June 1 count was lower than the recent average, but the facility was still far below its 97-bed rated capacity. No official Eastland-specific overcrowding order, consent decree, or current TCJS non-compliance summary was located in the research.
| Month | Capacity | Total Jail Population | Percent of Capacity | ADP / Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan. 1, 2026 | 97 | 66 | 68.04% | ADP 69, rate 3.77 |
| Feb. 1, 2026 | 97 | 71 | 73.20% | ADP 70, rate 3.83 |
| Mar. 1, 2026 | 97 | 68 | 70.10% | ADP 69, rate 3.77 |
| Apr. 1, 2026 | 97 | 66 | 68.04% | ADP 70, rate 3.83 |
| May 1, 2026 | 97 | 71 | 73.20% | ADP 71, rate 3.88 |
| Jun. 1, 2026 | 97 | 60 | 61.86% | ADP 71, rate 3.88 |
Eastland County Inmate Categories
The June 1, 2026 TCJS Eastland row gives a custody-category view rather than a full demographic dashboard. The largest category was local pretrial felons, with 20 males and 8 females. The same row also listed local pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants, convicted misdemeanants, parole violators, parole violators with new charges, local convicted felons and parole violators sentenced to TDCJ, and local pretrial state-jail felons. TCJS reported zero male and zero female federal inmates for Eastland in that row.
| Category | Male | Female | Plain Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial Class A/B misdemeanant | 3 | 0 | Local misdemeanor cases before final disposition. |
| Local convicted misdemeanant | 2 | 1 | County-level sentenced or convicted population. |
| Local pretrial felons | 20 | 8 | Felony accusations still in the pretrial stage. |
| Parole violator or blue warrant | 1 | 0 | Parole-related hold category. |
| Parole violator with new charge | 5 | 0 | Parole issue plus a new local charge. |
| TDCJ-sentenced or paper-ready | 5 | 3 | People awaiting transfer or tied to TDCJ paperwork. |
| Local pretrial state jail felons | 6 | 0 | Texas state-jail-felony charge category before disposition. |
Laws Governing Eastland Jail Data
Eastland County inmate population records sit inside Texas public-records and jail-standards law. Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, is the general access law for records held by governmental bodies unless an exception applies. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 351 addresses county jail and sheriff duties. Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates and empowers TCJS to regulate county jail construction, operation, custody, care, and treatment.
Key access rules:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 gives the public a route to request existing jail and booking records, subject to exceptions.
Texas Government Code Chapter 511 is the state framework behind county jail standards and TCJS oversight.
TCJS Minimum Jail Standards define capacity and cover records, intake, classification, health, supervision, and jail operations.
Search Eastland County Inmates
The official Eastland County inmate search route is app-first. The sheriff page says sheriff and jail information, including the people in the jail, is available in the Eastland County Sheriff TX mobile app. The jail information page repeats that jail and inmate information is available there. Because no browser roster URL or sample browser profile was found in the county pages reviewed, the app should be treated as the primary public channel, with phone and records-request fallbacks close behind.
- Open the official Eastland County sheriff page or search the app stores for Eastland County Sheriff TX.
- Use the jail or inmate-information area inside the app to look for the person in county custody.
- If the app does not resolve the search, call Eastland County Jail at (254) 629-3899.
- For a released person or older booking, call the sheriff's office at (254) 629-1774 or request existing booking records under the Texas Public Information Act.
- If the person was sentenced to state custody, use the TDCJ inmate search instead of the county jail route.
The official app pages are the Apple App Store listing and the Google Play listing. App store material lists public safety tools such as tips, sex offender information, staff directory, news, and alerts, while the county pages tie the app directly to jail and inmate information.
Eastland Current Inmate Lookup
The Eastland County inmate population search field details are limited because the public browser pages do not expose the app's form labels. Do not assume a booking-number field, date-of-birth field, facility filter, mugshot field, or refresh schedule unless the app itself confirms it. The practical search details below reflect what was documented in the research and what was not available from the county HTML.
| Field or Route | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| App search / jail inmate lookup | Mobile app feature | Unspecified | Official county route for jail and inmate information. |
| Inmate name | Likely search text | Unspecified | Exact labels were not inspectable from the county browser pages. |
| Booking number | Not located | Unspecified | No county browser booking-number field was found. |
| Date of birth | Not located | Unspecified | Ask the jail whether DOB helps identify the person. |
| Facility filter | Not applicable | Unspecified | Only Eastland County Jail was identified for county custody. |
Eastland County Inmate Record Details
A full Eastland County app inmate profile could not be inspected from the public desktop pages. The confirmed public jail-related data is still useful: the facility name and address, jail administrator, sheriff, jail phone, sheriff phone, phone vendor, commissary schedule, and property rules. If a reader needs charges, bond, booking date, release status, or a booking photo not visible in the app, the better route is a direct call or a written request for existing booking records.
| Confirmed Item | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Jail facility | Eastland County Jail / Sheriff's Office at 201 W. White Street. |
| Jail administrator | Lynn Brownlee is listed on the official jail information page. |
| Sheriff | Jason Weger is listed on the official sheriff page. |
| Phone vendor | Infinity Networks with prepaid account information at (866) 681-2948. |
| Roster fields | Not verified in browser; county directs public users to the mobile app. |
| Mugshot display | Not verified in browser; use app, jail phone, or records request. |
County Jail vs State Prison
Eastland County inmate population searches split by custody system. The county jail route covers people held locally before trial, serving short county sentences, waiting on court action, held on parole issues, or awaiting TDCJ transfer. Once a person is received into Texas state custody, the lookup moves to TDCJ Inmate Search. Federal and immigration custody use different systems and do not rely on the Eastland County sheriff app.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Eastland County jail custody | Eastland County Sheriff TX app, jail phone | Pretrial, short local sentence, holds, and transfer-wait cases. |
| Texas sentenced custody | TDCJ inmate information | Current TDCJ inmates and state-custody profile data. |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP Find an Inmate | Federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | ICE detainees by A-number/country or biographical search. |
| Victim notification | Texas VINELink | Custody and release notifications where agency data is available. |
Eastland County Detention Facilities
The final facility manifest for this project has one local detention facility. No separate county annex, work-release center, TDCJ unit, BOP institution, or ICE detention facility was identified inside Eastland County from the official directories reviewed. City police departments may arrest people, but the public county instructions route jail and inmate information to the sheriff's jail and mobile app.
- Eastland County Jail - county jail operated by the Eastland County Sheriff's Office for local pretrial detainees, convicted county inmates, parole-hold categories, and people awaiting TDCJ transfer.
Eastland County Jail Contact
The official jail information page names Jail Administrator Lynn Brownlee and gives the jail phone. The sheriff page names Sheriff Jason Weger and Chief Deputy Jon Simcik. Use the jail number for custody, commissary, visitation, and current inmate questions. Use the sheriff main line for general sheriff office routing, records questions, and non-emergency office matters.

Eastland Court Records After Booking
A jail booking is not the final criminal case record. The formal court record begins when the prosecutor files a charging document in the correct court. Eastland County's 91st District Court handles felony criminal jurisdiction, while the District Clerk keeps district court records and party indexes. The County Clerk page links online index sources, including Tyler-hosted records and iDocket, for county court and probate index information. For a detailed court path, use the Eastland County court records after jail arrest page.
Bond decisions also sit between jail and court records. The jail can confirm custody and holds, but the court record may show bond orders, conditions, hearings, attorney entries, and case status. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 supplies the statewide bond framework, while local offices confirm how the order applies to the person in custody.
