Eastland County Jail Overview
Eastland County Jail is operated by the Eastland County Sheriff's Office. The facility is a county jail, not a state prison, and its custody records are tied to local arrests, warrants, short county sentences, parole holds, state-jail felony cases, and people waiting for transfer after a state sentence. Sheriff Jason Weger is listed on the official sheriff page, with Chief Deputy Jon Simcik. The county jail information page lists Jail Administrator Lynn Brownlee for jail operations.
The jail and sheriff's office are located at the same public address in Eastland. Current jail lookup is app-first because the county pages reviewed do not publish a normal browser roster. The official sheriff and jail information pages both direct the public to the Eastland County Sheriff TX mobile app for jail information and for who is in the jail. When the app is unavailable or a detail is not shown, the direct jail phone and a written Texas Public Information Act request are the practical fallback routes.
The official Eastland County jail information page shows the local jail rules used for family support, including phone services, commissary timing, money delivery, and strict outside-property limits.
Those details matter because they are the county-published rules for people held at Eastland County Jail, not generic jail policy from another Texas county.
Eastland County Jail Contact
Use the jail phone for custody questions, current inmate status, visitation confirmation, and local jail procedures. Use the sheriff's office number for general sheriff records, warrants, or routing questions when the issue is broader than a current jail call. The county page confirms a weekday office window for commissary money delivery, but it does not label that window as a full public records counter schedule.

Eastland County Jail Population
The most specific capacity and population source for Eastland County Jail is the Texas Commission on Jail Standards county population reports. The June 1, 2026 TCJS current population workbook lists Eastland with a rated capacity of 97 and a total jail population of 60. That was about 61.9 percent of rated capacity. The separate incarceration-rate workbook listed an average daily population of 71 and a rate of 3.88 for Eastland County on the same reporting date.
Early 2026 TCJS monthly counts stayed below capacity: January 66, February 71, March 68, April 66, May 71, and June 60. The June count also reported zero federal male and female inmates in the Eastland row, so Eastland County Jail should not be described as a federal detention facility based on those data. TCJS minimum standards define capacity as the number of inmates the commission authorizes the facility to house, excluding special holding, detoxification, and violent cells.
Look Up Eastland County Jail Inmates
Eastland County's official current inmate lookup route is the Eastland County Sheriff TX mobile app. The county did not provide a public browser roster, sample inmate profile, booking-number field, release-retention rule, or visible web mugshot gallery in the pages reviewed. That means the correct Eastland County Jail inmate lookup starts with the app and then moves to phone or records request if the app cannot be used.
The county's app route is supported by the official sheriff page and by the app store listing. The Apple App Store listing for Eastland County Sheriff TX identifies Eastland County Sheriff's Office as the seller.
Use the app for current jail and inmate information, then call the jail when the listing is unclear, the person was just booked, or the person may have been released or transferred.
- Open the Eastland County Sheriff TX app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
- Use the jail or inmate information area for current Eastland County Jail custody.
- Search by the person's name and compare spelling, age, charge context, and booking date if the app provides those fields.
- If no result appears, call Eastland County Jail at (254) 629-3899 before assuming the person is not in custody.
- For older booking records, a booking photo, or release status not shown in the app, request existing records from the sheriff's office under Texas public-information law.
Note: The app is the official public route located for current Eastland County Jail lookup; no county browser roster was verified.
Eastland County Jail Visitation
No official Eastland County Jail visitation schedule was located on the county jail page reviewed. The county source gives property, phone, commissary, and money rules, but it does not publish visiting days, remote-video vendor, visit length, attorney-visit procedures, dress code, or child-visitor rules. Do not plan a trip based on assumptions from another Texas jail.
| Visitation Topic | Located Detail | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | No schedule located | Call (254) 629-3899 or check the sheriff app |
| Remote or video visits | No vendor or hours located | Ask the jail before paying any outside service |
| Visitor identification | No local rule posted | Bring government ID and confirm before travel |
| Holiday or lockdown changes | No public calendar located | Use the app or jail phone the same day |
Because the facility page did not publish a full visiting checklist, callers should ask about arrival time, allowed property, dress limits, minor visitors, and whether the inmate must submit a visitor list. Attorney visits and professional visits should be arranged directly with the jail or the relevant court.
Eastland Jail Mail and Commissary
Eastland County Jail publishes unusually specific property and commissary rules. Outside property is narrow. A soft-cover Bible is the only item that can be brought to an inmate. Shower shoes and a watch may be placed in property only for inmates awaiting transfer to TDCJ. Hygiene items, including items such as shampoo, conditioner, socks, and toothpaste, must be purchased through commissary rather than brought from outside.
| Service | Official Eastland County Detail |
|---|---|
| General mail | Use inmate name plus Eastland County Jail, 201 W. White Street, Eastland, TX 76448; call for any booking-number rule. |
| Commissary orders | Orders are placed every Sunday and delivered Wednesday. |
| Phone cards | Available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. |
| Phone provider | Infinity Networks; prepaid account information at (866) 681-2948. |
| Money by mail | Cashier's check or money order mailed to the jail address and addressed to the inmate. |
| Money in person | Office delivery Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-noon and 1 p.m.-5 p.m. |
| Outside property | Soft-cover Bible only, with shower shoes/watch limited to TDCJ-transfer inmates. |
Commissary money is not bond money. The jail page gives clear rules for inmate commissary funds, but it does not publish a separate online bond payment rule. Confirm the purpose of the payment before mailing funds or bringing money to the office.
Eastland Jail Bond and Release
Bond in Texas is governed by Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17, but Eastland County did not publish a jail-specific online bond payment page in the official jail information reviewed. For a person held at Eastland County Jail, confirm custody, exact charges, bond amount, bond type, and holds directly with the jail before contacting a bondsman or trying to pay at a counter.
| Bond or Hold Type | Meaning at Release Stage |
|---|---|
| Cash bond | Full bond amount paid as directed by the court or jail authority. |
| Surety bond | A licensed bail bond company posts surety for the defendant. |
| Personal or PR bond | Release on promise and conditions rather than full cash payment. |
| No-bond hold | Release is not available until the court or holding agency clears the hold. |
Release timing can change because of warrants, court paperwork, transport, parole holds, TDCJ transfer status, federal holds, or ICE detainers. Ask whether a magistrate appearance must happen first. Also ask whether commissary funds on the account follow local jail refund rules after release.
Eastland Jail Records and Mugshots
Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, is the records fallback when an Eastland County Jail record is not available through the app. Requests should seek existing records rather than explanations. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, approximate booking date, arresting agency, case number, and the exact record sought, such as a booking sheet, booking photo, charge list, bond information, release date, or jail incident report.
The county browser pages did not verify whether app profiles display mugshots or how long any booking photo remains visible. If the app does not show a photo, call the jail or send a written request to the sheriff's office. Active investigations, juvenile records, medical information, protected personal identifiers, victim information, and expunction or nondisclosure orders may limit what is released. The public county record should be checked before relying on commercial booking-photo pages.
Eastland Jail Booking Rules
Eastland County did not publish a detailed booking workflow, but the local route is clear. After arrest, a person is taken through jail intake, identity checks, property inventory, medical and classification steps, phone access, and a first court or magistrate event. The county's published rules are most useful for families after intake because they explain what can and cannot be brought, how phone accounts work, and how commissary support reaches the inmate.
Located program and condition details are operational rather than program-heavy. Eastland County Jail publishes commissary access, phone cards, and Infinity Networks phone service, but no public GED, vocational, medical-request, grievance, or reentry program page was found in the county materials reviewed. The TCJS non-compliant jails page was reviewed for compliance context, and the research did not identify Eastland County Jail as a current non-compliant jail from that reviewed source.
Eastland Jail and TDCJ Transfer
Eastland County Jail custody is different from Texas Department of Criminal Justice custody. A person may start in Eastland County Jail after arrest, then later move to TDCJ after conviction and sentencing. Once that transfer happens, Eastland County commissary, jail phone rules, and the sheriff app are no longer the main lookup tools. The correct state search is the TDCJ inmate search.
| Custody System | Use It For | Not For |
|---|---|---|
| Eastland County Jail | Local booking, pretrial custody, county sentences, holds, TDCJ paper-ready inmates | People already received into a TDCJ prison or state jail |
| TDCJ | Sentenced state prisoners and state jail custody after transfer | Fresh Eastland County Jail bookings or local bond questions |
| BOP or ICE | Federal sentence or immigration detention checks | County jail mugshots or Eastland app records |
TDCJ has separate family contact systems, including the visitation portal, inmate telephone rules, and eCommDirect. A person absent from the Eastland County Jail app may have been released, transferred, moved to another county, received by TDCJ, or placed under federal or immigration custody. Confirm the last known custody point before using a statewide locator.
Note: Call Eastland County Jail before travel or payment because custody, bond, visitation, and transfer status can change fast.
