Adult county facilities with one shared researched guide

Facility and guideStreet addressPhone
Travis County Jail / Central Booking Facility (TCJ) →500 W. 10th Street, Austin, TX 78701512-854-4180
Travis County Correctional Complex (TCCC) →3614 Bill Price Road, Del Valle, TX 78617512-854-9889

All on-site video visits for TCJ and TCCC are administered at TCCC in Del Valle. Personal mail and property use the confirmed housing facility; downtown bond/court business has separate counters. TDCJ Travis Unit at 8101 FM 969 is a separate Texas state facility, not CDCR and not a county jail. Gardner Betts juvenile records, city police, federal/immigration custody and other state facilities do not inherit this guide. Dated population/capacity figures and the older inventory remain source records, not live counts.

Different custody systems.
Different places to start.

A Travis County arrest usually means the county jail. A state sentence, a federal case or an immigration hold means a different system with its own locator and rules.

Who holds someone arrested in Travis County?

Usually Travis County Correctional Complex, (512) 854-9889. The arresting agency books the person and the jail holds them; ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you act on anything.

Does posting bond mean the person comes home?

Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county\'s warrant, or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking, and ask the bondsman what happens if there are, before you pay.

What should I confirm before visiting?

Confirm the person\'s current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility guide before you travel.

What if I find something that needs correcting?

Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
