Kimble County Jail Roster Limits
No official Kimble County jail roster, booking report, recent-arrests list, or county-hosted mugshot gallery was located on the public county website. The key local source is the Kimble County Sheriff page, which lists the sheriff's office and jail at 415 Pecan Street in Junction and tells the public to use VINELink for offender custody status. That means a current Kimble County inmate search should not assume a county page will show a full booking card, bond figure, charge list, housing unit, or booking photo.
The absence of a county-hosted roster changes the search path. Start with the sheriff's VINELink direction, then call the sheriff or jail at 325-446-2766 if a name does not appear, if the person may have been released, or if the person may have been moved. Kimble County commissioners approved an interlocal agreement with Kerr County in June 2025 for housing inmates, so physical custody can differ from the county of arrest. A person can still have a Kimble case while being housed outside the Kimble County Jail.
The official sheriff page is the local source for the jail phone, VINELink direction, and magistrate notice. The screenshot below shows why the local search begins there rather than on a separate roster page.
The sheriff page supports a narrow, practical rule: use VINELink for custody status, but use the sheriff's office for Kimble County inmate records that are not posted online.
Use VINELink for Kimble Custody
VINELink is the custody-status channel named by the sheriff. It is useful for current custody and notification registration, but it is not the same as a full local jail roster. It may not show every past booking, full charge history, bond detail, court setting, or copy of the booking packet. For Kimble County inmate records, treat VINELink as the first check, not the last source.
- Open the Kimble County Sheriff page and follow the VINELink direction, or go directly to VINELink.
- Select Texas if the interface asks for a state, then search by the person's name. A name search is useful because a Kimble inmate may be housed elsewhere.
- If a custody record appears, read the status carefully and register for release or status alerts if needed.
- If no result appears, call 325-446-2766 and ask whether the person is in Kimble custody, recently released, transferred, or housed by agreement.
- For filed charges after booking, search the Kimble Tyler criminal portal or contact the clerk because court records are separate from the custody result.
The VINELink custody-status page is a fitting image for Kimble County because it is the online tool the sheriff points to instead of a county roster.
VINELink can help confirm custody, but phone contact remains important in Kimble County because the local record may involve release, transfer, or housing outside the county.
Kimble County Inmate Search Fields
The research did not locate a Kimble County roster form to inspect, so the county row below is intentionally plain. It reflects the actual access channels: no county-hosted search form, VINELink name searching, optional state or facility filters when the interface exposes them, and alert registration for custody changes. Do not treat the absence of a local roster as proof that no one is in custody.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kimble County local roster | Not found | n/a | No county-published jail roster or search form was located on the official site. |
| VINELink name search | Text | Likely last name | Use first and last name when possible because housed-elsewhere status may affect facility filtering. |
| State or agency filter | Dropdown | Varies | Select Texas and any available agency or facility options shown in the current VINELink interface. |
| Notification registration | Form | Optional | Used for release or custody-status alerts through phone, email, or other available methods. |
When VINELink does not answer the question, the next source is the sheriff's non-emergency and jail line. Ask for current custody, release date if available, transfer status, and whether another agency hold or warrant affects release. If the request is for an older Kimble County inmate record, booking photo, jail log, or arrest report, submit a written Texas Public Information Act request to the sheriff or county office that holds the record.
Kimble County Inmate Record Details
Kimble County does not show a public sample inmate profile on an official roster, so fields often seen on larger county jail sites should not be promised here. The supported facts are narrower: VINELink may show custody status, the sheriff can confirm local custody by phone, and records not online may be requested under the Texas Public Information Act. A booking record can exist even when no public webpage displays it.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Public Kimble roster profile | Not located in official sources. |
| Custody status through VINELink | Whether an offender is in custody or whether notification is available, depending on current coverage. |
| Booking photo | Not published in a located Kimble roster; request through the sheriff or county if needed. |
| Charges | Not visible in a Kimble roster; check the Tyler criminal portal or clerk for charges filed after arrest. |
| Bond | Not visible on a county roster; call the sheriff, jail, or court for current bond status. |
| Housing | May involve Kimble County Jail or another county facility under agreement. |
General Texas jail booking records can include name, arresting agency, booking date and time, charge at booking, warrant or case reference, bond if set, release or transfer status, property intake, fingerprints, and booking photo. Kimble-specific online fields were not available for review, so those items should be requested or verified with the originating office before they are relied on.
Kimble County Booking Process
A Kimble County arrest can begin with a sheriff's deputy, local or area officer, DPS trooper, warrant, or court order. The person is processed through the sheriff and jail system, or through another authorized holding facility if housing is arranged elsewhere. Intake normally includes identification, paperwork, property inventory, search, booking record creation, photo and fingerprints, screening, classification, and housing decisions. The research did not locate a public Kimble property-return policy or housing-unit list.
The sheriff page states that magistrate court occurs every morning at 9:00 a.m. Central Time. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 requires an arrested person to be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay, usually within 48 hours. At that first appearance, rights and warnings are given, counsel issues may be addressed, and bond may be set when allowed. For the next custody step, call 325-446-2766 and ask whether the magistrate process has occurred.

Kimble County Jail Contact
The primary local detention facility is the Kimble County Jail, operated by the Kimble County Sheriff's Office. Official sources place the sheriff and jail at the same Pecan Street address in Junction. TCJS reports a 19-bed county jail capacity, and Kimble's small size means even a few bookings can change the custody picture fast. The June 1, 2026 TCJS report listed 18 total jail inmates and 3 housed elsewhere.
Kimble County Jail
415 Pecan Street
Junction, TX 76849
325-446-2766
Call before visiting, mailing, or asking about a current inmate record.
Because the sheriff page gives a single non-emergency and jail phone number, use that number for custody status, booking questions, bond routing, mail format, visitation status, and housed-elsewhere questions. If the answer involves filed charges, the jail may route you to the County or District Clerk.
Kimble County Visitation Records
Official Kimble County visitation, mail, commissary, phone, video-visit, tablet, and money-deposit rules were not located on the county site. No vendor, fee table, visit schedule, remote-video schedule, or mail scanning policy should be inferred. Call 325-446-2766 before traveling, mailing property, sending funds, or trying to schedule a visit.
| Facility or Service | Published Schedule | Visitor or Sender Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Kimble County Jail | Not published in official sources located. | Call the jail, confirm current housing, and bring government ID if a visit is approved. |
| Attorney visits | Not published. | Attorneys should call the sheriff or jail to arrange professional access. |
| Remote or video visits | No vendor located. | Do not assume a video service exists without jail confirmation. |
| Format not published. | Confirm inmate name, ID or booking number format, and banned items before sending mail. | |
| Commissary and deposits | No fee or vendor located. | Call before sending money because no official deposit method was found. |
Note: Morning operations may include the daily 9:00 a.m. magistrate process, so confirm visit timing before driving to Junction.
State and Federal Inmate Records
Kimble County inmate records cover local custody, not every later correctional path. A person sentenced to state prison moves into the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system, and the TDCJ inmate search is the correct source for sentenced state prisoners. The TDCJ Unit Directory did not show a state prison in Kimble County. A TDCJ profile may show state identifiers, unit, offense, sentence information, county of conviction, release or parole dates, and sometimes a state-prison photo.
| Custody Type | Where to Search | Kimble County Note |
|---|---|---|
| Current county custody | VINELink and 325-446-2766 | Best for current custody and release notification. |
| Sentenced Texas prisoner | TDCJ inmate search | Use after conviction and transfer to state prison. |
| Federal inmate | BOP inmate locator | Works after BOP custody begins, not always for federal pretrial detention. |
| Immigration detainee | ICE ODLS | Search by A-Number and country of birth or biographical details. |
Federal pretrial custody may involve the U.S. Marshals in the Western District of Texas and a contract jail before BOP records appear. Immigration custody uses ICE ODLS, not the Kimble jail roster. These systems answer different questions, so match the lookup tool to the agency that actually holds the person.
