How to Find an Inmate at Manuel A. Segovia Unit
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page. Inmate search records typically list identifying information such as the person’s name, inmate or booking number, booking or admission date, charges or offense information, housing location, and custody status. Records do not always appear immediately after a person is booked or transferred because intake processing, identity checks, and data entry can take several hours. If the person was just arrested in Hidalgo County, they may first appear in a county jail system before any transfer to a state facility is shown.
