Coke County Sheriff's Office

The Coke County Sheriff's Office at 13 E 7th Street in Robert Lee is the county's primary law enforcement and detention agency.

All arrests made anywhere in Coke County are processed through this office.

Coke County is a small, sparsely populated county in West Texas, in the Concho Valley region. The Sheriff's Office serves both Robert Lee and the rural areas throughout the county. Because the county is small and has limited online infrastructure, the Sheriff's Office relies on phone and in-person contact for most public inquiries. The office has a Facebook page where occasional updates are posted, though it is not a substitute for a formal records request.

Under the Texas Public Information Act, booking and arrest records held by the Sheriff's Office are public information. Anyone can request them. No reason is needed. The office has ten business days to respond after receiving a written request.

What Coke County Booking Records Include

When someone is arrested and processed into the Coke County Jail, the Sheriff's Office creates a booking record. This record documents the arrest and stays on file as a public record under Texas law.

A Coke County booking record generally contains the person's full name and date of birth, the date and time of the arrest, the charges at the time of booking, the bond amount if set by the court, the arresting agency, a booking number, and a physical description. Details tied to active investigations may be withheld. Records for juveniles are not accessible to the public. The charges in a booking record reflect what was alleged at the time of arrest. They may change before a court hearing, and the booking report does not show how the case was ultimately resolved. An arrest is not a conviction.

If you need a complete statewide criminal history that includes court outcomes and dispositions, the Texas DPS Crime Records Division is the right source. That system covers all of Texas, not just Coke County, and the request process is separate from a county jail records request.

Coke County Jail

The Coke County Jail is at 13 E 7th Street in Robert Lee and is operated by the Sheriff's Office. It is the county's only detention facility. People arrested in Coke County are brought here for booking and held until they post bond, appear in court, or are transferred to another facility.

The intake process includes identity verification, logging of personal property, a health screening, and housing assignment. Bond is set by the court, and those who can pay are released. Those who cannot post bond remain in custody until their case is resolved or the judge modifies the bond. After sentencing, individuals going to state prison are transferred to TDCJ, and their records shift to the TDCJ system.

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards oversees county jails across Texas, including the Coke County Jail. They set standards for housing, health, and staff training.
