Coleman County Facility Overview
The Coleman County Law Enforcement Center is operated by the Coleman County Sheriff's Office. The official Coleman County sheriff page names Sheriff Les Cogdill and lists the Law Enforcement Center as the jail and sheriff's office location. County navigation also labels the online roster as the CCLEC Jail Inmate Custody List, so the public custody search is tied directly to this facility.
This is a county jail, not a state prison. It holds pre-trial defendants arrested in Coleman County, locally sentenced inmates, people arrested on bench warrants, probation or parole holds, other-agency holds, and people waiting for court or transfer action. The official facility map found no separate county jail annex, work-release center, city jail, regional jail, TDCJ prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center in Coleman County. For local jail custody, the Coleman County Law Enforcement Center is the only facility page in the site set.
The public sources do not publish a construction date, pod layout, medical unit description, female unit description, public lobby hours, or jail accreditation statement beyond the posted visitation plan approved by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. The facility should be treated as a sheriff-operated county jail with a public NetData custody list and a TCJS-reported capacity.
Coleman County Capacity
Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reporting is the official source for county jail population and capacity. Research from the June 2026 TCJS current population workbook listed Coleman County's rated jail capacity as 57 beds. Reviewed Coleman rows showed reported population totals generally from the high 20s to low 40s, with examples such as 29, 35, 37, 41, and 42. Those inspected rows were under the 57-bed capacity, but that should not be read as a promise about the jail count on a later date.
The NetData custody list is better for person-level lookup than for population totals. A blank NetData report inspected on June 29, 2026 showed 20 visible current-custody rows and a next-page marker, which means the report was paginated. Use TCJS for capacity and jail population reporting. Use NetData to confirm whether a named person appears in Coleman County Law Enforcement Center custody.
Coleman County Inmate Lookup
The correct local search tool is the NetData Coleman County inmate listing. It is a free, no-login report form linked from the county sheriff page. The form has two visible search fields: Beginning Date and Starting Inmate Name. Leaving both blank returns the broadest listing. The returned output is not a full profile page. It shows a row-style custody list.
- Open the NetData custody list from the Coleman County Sheriff's Office page or from the direct roster URL.
- Leave Beginning Date blank for all listed dates, or select a date to begin the report at that point.
- Enter a Starting Inmate Name only if the goal is to move near a person in the alphabetical report.
- Read the row for inmate name, arrest number, book date, dorm, and abbreviated charge.
- Call 325-625-3506 when a recent arrest is missing, the charge abbreviation is unclear, or bond and court-date details are needed.
NetData does not cover everyone connected to a Coleman County criminal case. A sentenced felony prisoner will move to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search after TDCJ reception and classification. A sentenced federal inmate is searched through the BOP inmate locator. Immigration custody is searched through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Texas VINELink can be used for custody notifications where participating data is available.
CCLEC Roster Records
A Coleman County Law Enforcement Center roster row confirms local custody, but it does not act like a large-city jail profile. The output inspected by research showed no image, profile card, bond panel, court date, date of birth, or full statutory charge detail. That sparse output is useful if read correctly because it gives the facts needed for a phone call, records request, or court follow-up.
| Roster Field | Use at the Facility |
|---|---|
| Name | Confirms the person listed in CCLEC custody. |
| Arrest Number | Local identifier to use when asking for a booking record. |
| Book Date | Date the person entered Coleman County jail custody. |
| Dorm | Numeric housing field. No public dorm legend was found. |
| Charge | Short booking charge label, often abbreviated or truncated. |
| Not Published | Mugshot, bond, court date, DOB, full profile, and release date were not visible in inspected public output. |
For formal charges after arrest, look to the court record rather than the jail report. Felony matters route to the District Clerk and 42nd District Court. Misdemeanor matters route to County Court, the County Clerk, and the County Attorney. The jail roster helps start that search by giving the name spelling, book date, and arrest number.
Center Address and Contact
The Law Enforcement Center address is different from the Coleman County Courthouse address. Jail custody, inmate records, visitation scheduling, and jail-specific questions go to the Law Enforcement Center on North U.S. 283. Court, clerk, and prosecutor offices are clustered around the courthouse and Live Oak Street area, so visitors should not use the courthouse address for jail visitation.
Coleman County Law Enforcement Center
965 North U.S. 283
Coleman, TX 76834
325-625-3506
Fax: 325-625-3509
Operator: Coleman County Sheriff's Office
Use the phone number for current custody checks, visitation scheduling, and practical questions before travel. The official site did not publish parking rates, overflow parking rules, public transit directions, or an ADA entrance description. Visitors with mobility or access questions should call before arrival.
Visit Coleman County Inmates
The official jail visitation page says the visitation procedure was updated March 18, 2021, with visits resumed March 23, 2021. The page states that the plan was approved by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. The rules remain the posted Coleman County source, so the schedule and restrictions should be followed unless jail staff gives updated instructions by phone.
| Day | Hours | Type | How to Schedule |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday | 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM | In-person | Call 325-625-3506 up to three days ahead and no later than the day before. |
| Saturday | 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM | In-person | Call 325-625-3506 up to three days ahead and no later than the day before. |
Visitors must be on the inmate's approved visitor list. The posted rule limits visitors to immediate family. Picture identification is required, such as a driver's license or state identification card. Family members under age 17 may visit only with a parent, legal guardian, or legal counsel. A prior inmate of the facility must wait 90 days after release before visiting.
Handbags, cell phones, pictures, and containers are prohibited in the visitation area. Jailers will not hold those items, so visitors must leave them in vehicles. Any visitor who creates a disturbance may be asked to leave, and if the visitor is a child, the parent, legal guardian, or legal counsel must leave also.
Mail Money and Phones
Coleman County did not publish a jail mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, phone provider, tablet program, remote video provider, or deposit-fee schedule in the official jail pages reviewed. That absence is important. Do not send funds or mail based on a vendor used by another Texas county. Coleman County jail rules must be confirmed through the Law Enforcement Center.
| Service | Published Coleman County Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address | Facility address is published, but inmate mail format is not. Call before mailing. |
| Commissary | No official vendor or fee table located. |
| Money deposits | No deposit vendor, kiosk rule, online payment URL, or fee located. |
| Phone/video | No phone account vendor or remote video visit provider located. |
Before sending property, money, photographs, books, or letters, confirm the accepted format with jail staff. A person may also be released, transferred, or held under another agency by the time mail arrives, so current custody should be checked first through NetData or by phone.
Booking at Coleman County
After a Coleman County arrest, the person is normally transported to the Law Enforcement Center for intake. Booking creates the local custody record. Jail staff record the person's identity, assign an arrest number, enter the book date, list the booking charge, and place the person in a dorm or housing area. Those same fields appear in the public NetData row.
Booking can include search and property inventory, fingerprinting, a booking photo, medical or mental health screening, classification, and initial phone access. The fact that a booking photo may be created does not mean it is posted online. Coleman County's inspected roster output did not show mugshots. If a booking photo or fuller booking record is needed, call the jail and make a written request under Texas Government Code Chapter 552.
Bond and court timing follow the Texas post-arrest process. Article 15.17 requires a magistrate appearance without unnecessary delay, and Chapter 17 controls bail. Because Coleman County NetData did not display bond amounts, release eligibility should be checked with the jail or the court that set the bond.
Coleman County Jail Records
Public access begins with the roster, but the roster is not the full jail file. A public information request can be used for non-confidential booking records, basic arrest information, jail records, or a booking photo if the record is releasable. The request should identify the inmate, book date, arrest number, and record type. Texas law can allow withholding or redaction for active law enforcement material, juvenile information, medical information, or other confidential content.
For court records after a booking, use the appropriate clerk or court channel. The Coleman County District Clerk serves the 42nd District Court for felony cases. The County Clerk and County Court handle county-court misdemeanor matters. Those court records can show filed charges, docket dates, dispositions, and bond conditions that do not appear on the jail roster.
Transfers From Coleman County
A Coleman County Law Enforcement Center inmate may leave the local roster after release, transfer, state prison reception, federal custody, immigration custody, or another-county pickup. Once a felony sentence moves the person to TDCJ, the county visitation and money rules no longer apply. TDCJ uses state prison processes for visitation approval, mail, phone, trust fund, and release information.
No TDCJ unit, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or regional detention facility was located inside Coleman County. The absence of those facilities does not rule out a Coleman County case moving to those systems. It means the lookup channel changes from the local roster to TDCJ, BOP, ICE ODLS, VINELink, or the federal court and defense counsel path for federal pre-trial custody that may not yet appear in BOP.
Note: Confirm custody and visit approval with the facility before traveling, mailing funds, or relying on an older roster row.
