Brazos County Record Offices

The Brazos County Sheriff’s Office and detention center use different lines for different questions. The main office is at 1700 W. State Highway 21, Bryan, TX 77803, and its main number is (979) 361-4900. Sheriff’s Records is (979) 361-4903; the Public Information Office is (979) 361-4906; and Civil/Warrant is (979) 361-4920. Normal office hours are generally Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., unless the particular line is identified as round-the-clock.

The Brazos County Detention Center is at 1835 Sandy Point Road, Bryan, TX 77807. Its detention and nonemergency line, also used for bonds questions, is (979) 361-4800 and is available 24 hours. Booking is (979) 361-4811. For a public-information request concerning a booking record or photo, use the Brazos County JustFOIA portal and identify the person and approximate booking date.

Use the official source that matches the question instead of asking one line to answer every kind of record request.

  • For an active county jail entry or a county booking record, begin with the official Jail Search and the Sheriff records route described on the home page.
  • For an active warrant or a wanted-person question, contact the issuing court or Civil/Warrant rather than assuming a poster is complete.
  • For a criminal case outcome, use the Brazos County Tyler court portal or contact the appropriate clerk.
  • For a state-prison custody question, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate locator.
  • For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator; immigration-detention questions belong with ICE’s locator system.
