Texas Prison Inmate Search

Do you need to find someone in Texas prison? If a family member or loved one has been sent to prison, you might be wondering how to find them. Probably you want to write to them and stay in touch while they do their time.

Texas Prison Inmate Search

I used to be able to display a form on this page that let folks search for inmates within TDC but the folks at TDCJ have changed the way things work and I cannot make it work now. I hope to have a solution soon. Meanwhile please continue to send your questions to me and I will keep trying to help y’all. Sorry for the hassle.

You can also check these other pages I have with information about Texas prison, Federal prison, and, soon to come, county jails in Texas.

  1. Cheryl, if you use the tool up above and put in your son’s information you can find out where he is and what his projected time is. There are multiple Kenneth Robinsons in the system so you will need to enter the information and see which one he is. Also, if he is still in county jail, after sentencing and waiting for transfer to prison, he won’t show up in this tool. Hope this helps and best of luck to you both. ~TM

    1. Hi I am trying to get info about my husband being transferred from el paso county jail to state jail…his release date for county was the 16 pf jan he has time served on his state time but he still needs to be booked in to state to get his number….so I am wondering how long will that take.

  2. I’m wondering , why parole denied, kenneth ,lawyer said 8-9 mo. So how much time did he sign, I need him outta there….

    1. Hello Cheryl, there is no telling why his parole was denied. Do you write to him and does he write to you? When he was denied they would have reviewed his case, as well as his behavior and progress since entering prison, and make a decision. Sometimes it’s as simple as the state is requiring him to take certain classes while in prison, and he has not been able to complete them yet. Many times this is not the inmates fault, as the classes can be filled up before he can get in. Also, if he got in any trouble while in prison, etc. this will affect his parole.

      One thing I will say is my lawyer was NOT right when they told me how much time to expect. In my experience and what I now know, lawyers may know how to manage the court case and what the sentence will be, but they don’t know anything about what really happens or what time will be served once the person is sent to prison. So don’t count on what they said.

      If you want to learn more, one good resource is a site called “http://www.prisontalk.com“. Go to the Parents and Family forum and read up some there, also there is a Texas section with a lot of good information. Good luck to you and your son. ~TM

  3. I need to know what was my son time given , was told by lawyer 7-8 mo. And he should come home????? Kenneth Robinson I’m looking to see him soon I miss him , love mom

    1. I cannot tell you if she made parole, but there are 2 numbers you can call:
      Offender Parole Status Line-Austin,
      direct 512-406-5202
      Offender Parole Status Line-Huntsville,
      direct 936-291-2106

      You will need the TDCJ# and the name, and they will tell you. Also, you can send the parole board a parole packet beforehand, that tells them she can stay with you. Good luck to you both!

    1. Sharon, Texas Dept of Corrections doesn’t publish booking photos but a lot of times the city or county jail he was booked into will have photos. Try looking up the website for wherever he was taken in to. Good luck to you. ~TM
