Beeville, TX Garza East Transfer Facility View
Garza East Transfer Facility is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice transfer facility located in Beeville, Bee County, Texas. It is a state correctional facility, not a county jail, and generally houses adult inmates who have been sentenced to TDCJ custody or are being processed, classified, or moved within the state prison system. The facility is operated by TDCJ and supports the Texas corrections system by receiving, housing, and transferring inmates as part of state-level confinement. It does not primarily serve as a local holding facility for newly arrested pretrial detainees; those individuals are usually held in a county jail until court action or transfer.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Garza East Transfer Facility
Members of the public can look for an inmate using the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or offender search. Inmate records commonly list the person’s name, TDCJ or booking number, booking or received date, charges or offense information, sentence details, and current custody status. Records may not appear immediately after arrival because intake, verification, and data entry can take several hours, and in some cases longer. If the person was just arrested in Bee County, also check the local county jail until the person is transferred to state custody.
