Jasper County Jail Overview

Jasper County Jail is operated by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office, the same office that handles sheriff administration, patrol, investigations, communications, jail administration, records, and public information. The jail is the local custody point for people arrested by sheriff's deputies, Jasper police, Kirbyville police, Buna-area officers, Evadale-area officers, constables, DPS troopers, and other agencies whose arrests route into Jasper County detention. It is not a state prison, and it is not searched through the TDCJ locator unless the person has been sentenced or transferred to state custody.

The jail is led under Sheriff Chuck Havard, and the official sheriff page names Joe Pomponio as Jail Administrator. The records and public-information contact listed by the sheriff is Kim Boutin, who maintains and stores case records and transfers records to the District Attorney's Office. That matters in Jasper County because there is no official browser-based jail roster on the county website. For many custody questions, the practical record path starts with the jail line, then moves to sheriff records if a public-information request or case-record follow-up is needed.

Jasper County Jail Capacity

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports are the official source for the Jasper County Jail population and rated capacity. The current abbreviated county report inspected June 30, 2026 listed Jasper County with 147 total beds, 127 total inmates, 95 local inmates, 32 contract inmates, and 0 available beds. The same row put the jail at 86.4 percent of capacity. Those figures describe a county jail population, not the TDCJ Goodman Unit population.

The TCJS row also shows why Jasper County Jail should not be described as a small misdemeanor lockup. Local custody included pretrial felony, convicted felony, parole-violator, pretrial misdemeanor, bench-warrant, state-jail-felony, and other categories. The largest reported local group was pretrial felons. The available-beds figure can differ from simple subtraction because jail operations have to account for classification, separation rules, gender housing, medical limits, and usable bed assignments.

Jasper County Jail Lookup

No public web roster was located on the official Jasper County website. The sheriff page gives contact channels, visitation rules, commissary links, NCIC communication links, and records information, but it does not publish a browser roster form, recent booking list, or public mugshot gallery. For a current Jasper County Jail inmate search, use the official access chain instead of relying on a roster page that the county has not posted.

The Jasper County Sheriff TX mobile app is also an official route. The Apple and Google Play listings say the app includes inmate information and jail commissary information. The app-only screens could not be inspected from a browser, so it should be used as an added channel, not treated as proof that every field or booking photo is available online. For a fuller custody workflow, the Jasper County jail inmate records page explains how jail, court, TDCJ, federal, and VINELink searches differ.

1. Call Jasper County Jail at (409) 384-2411 for current custody confirmation, especially for a recent arrest or transfer question.
2. Check the Jasper County Sheriff TX mobile app if phone confirmation is not enough or if app-based inmate information is needed.
3. Contact sheriff records during weekday business hours for booking-record questions, public-information requests, or records not answered by the jail line.
4. Search the TDCJ inmate locator if the person has been sentenced, transferred, or assigned to a state prison facility.

Jasper County Jail Visitation

Jasper County Jail visitation is controlled by the sheriff's official visitation policy revised January 18, 2023. Regular non-contact visits are on weekends, and visitors must call during the week to schedule. Each inmate is allowed 20 minutes during each visitation day, and the policy states that every inmate must have the opportunity for at least two 20-minute visits per week. Special or extended visits require permission from jail leadership.

Visitors must be on the inmate's approved visitation card and must present proper identification. Purses, cell phones, and packages are not allowed in the visitation area. Dress rules are enforced, and the policy bars mini-skirts, shorts, and revealing shirts. Former Jasper County inmates cannot visit for 90 days after release unless the Sheriff or Jail Administrator grants written permission. People on probation or parole need special written permission from a probation or parole officer and the Sheriff.

Jasper County Jail Money

Money and communication rules for Jasper County Jail come from the sheriff page and the visitation policy. The sheriff links to JailATM for commissary deposits and to NCIC for phone, video, and correspondence services. The visitation policy separately says money left during visitation must be a money order or cashier's check payable to the inmate trust fund with the inmate's name included. Cash is not accepted for an inmate under that policy.

Visitors may not bring items for inmates without prior approval. Phone and video accounts can be funded through the communication vendor, and video communications can be monitored except attorney visits. Attorney kiosk use is treated differently for confidentiality. Destructive conduct at a kiosk, nudity, explicit behavior, or banned language can lead to restrictions or a longer suspension under the policy.

Jasper County Jail Intake

A Jasper County arrest usually moves from the arresting officer to jail intake unless the person is released by citation, taken for medical care, held briefly by another agency, or moved under a warrant or hold. The public county materials do not publish a local intake checklist or exact booking timeline, so booking should be understood as the normal jail intake sequence: identity check, warrant and hold review, property inventory, record creation, booking photo and fingerprints, screening, and classification.

Texas law also controls the early court stage. An arrested person must be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay, generally no later than 48 hours, for warnings and bond issues when bond is available. After that, the court record and the jail record can diverge. The jail confirms custody and release status. The prosecutor and clerks control filed case records, court dates, charging documents, and later dispositions. A person may also leave Jasper County Jail for the Glen Ray Goodman Unit or another TDCJ facility after a state custody assignment.

About Jasper County Jail

Jasper County Jail is subject to Texas county-jail oversight through the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. No public source located for this build listed a separate county jail ACA accreditation, GED program, vocational program, work-release annex, or public reentry program roster for Jasper County Jail. The strongest local details are the sheriff's official contact list, the jail visitation policy, JailATM, NCIC, TCJS population reports, and the public-information contact for records.

The jail is separate from the Jasper County Courthouse at 121 North Austin Street. Visitors should map the sheriff and jail complex on Burch Street, not just the courthouse. The official sources do not publish visitor parking details, a public transit route, or a separate ADA entrance description for the jail. Anyone with mobility needs, a long drive, or a strict visit schedule should call the jail before traveling.
