Beeville, TX Garza West Transfer Facility View
Garza West Transfer Facility is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice transfer facility in Beeville, Bee County, Texas. It is a state prison intake and transfer unit, not a county jail. The facility primarily holds adult male inmates who have been sentenced to state custody and are being processed, classified, or moved within the TDCJ system.

Its role is to receive inmates from county jails after sentencing, complete intake steps, and assign inmates to an appropriate long-term TDCJ unit or program location.

How to Find an Inmate at Garza West Transfer Facility
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or TDCJ inmate lookup. Inmate records typically list the person’s name, TDCJ or booking number, current unit, custody status, sentence information, and sometimes offense details. Records may not appear immediately after arrival because intake, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours or longer. If the person was recently sentenced or transferred from a county jail, check again later or contact the sending county or TDCJ for status information.
