Inmate search records typically list identifying and custody information such as the person’s name, booking or received date when available, charges or offense information, custody status, facility location, and identifying numbers. Because this is a state jail, the state search may show TDCJ number, unit assignment, sentence information, and projected release details instead of a county-style roster.
