How to Search Montgomery County Booking Reports

Montgomery County offers two direct online tools for searching current booking information. The Montgomery County Jail Roster is one option. It shows who is currently in custody, with the ability to sort by date confined.

Both tools are free to use and do not require creating an account. They are useful for checking on recent arrests. For older records or detailed case documentation, you will need to submit a formal records request. Send your written request to mcsoopenrecords@mctx.org or fax it to (936) 760-5826. You can also call (936) 538-3488 to speak with someone about your request. Under Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the office has 10 business days to respond. If they need more time, they must notify you in writing.

If a person has been transferred from the county jail to a state prison, use the TDCJ Offender Search to track their location in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system. VINELink is also available for free notification alerts when an inmate's status changes.

The District Clerk for Montgomery County also keeps records tied to court cases that result from arrests. Justice of the Peace court information is available through the county's online portal as well.

Note: The online inmate roster reflects current custody only. For prior bookings that have been released, a written request to the Sheriff's Office is required.
