How to Find Reeves County Inmates

With no online portal available, the phone is your primary tool for checking the Reeves County inmate population. Call (432) 445-4901 and ask the jail staff to search by name. If the person was recently arrested, they should show up in the system within a few hours of booking. Very recent arrests sometimes take a short time to process into the records system.

If you cannot find the person through the local jail, there are two main possibilities. They may have already been transferred to a TDCJ state prison after sentencing. Or they may be held in a different county. West Texas counties sometimes transfer inmates when local capacity is limited. The TDCJ Offender Search and VINELink both cover transfers out of county, so use those tools if the local search comes up empty.

Keep in mind that juvenile records and some sealed court records are not available to the public. If a person's records are sealed, the jail staff will typically say they cannot share information rather than confirm or deny custody. In those cases, an attorney can help you understand your options.

People convicted in Reeves County and sentenced to state prison are moved out of the county jail and into the Texas Department of Criminal Justice system.

Results show the facility, sentence length, release date, and conviction details.
