Culberson County Jail Overview

Culberson County Jail is the only detention facility physically identified in Culberson County for this build. It is operated by the Culberson County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page lists Sheriff Oscar E. Carrillo, Chief Deputy Jackie Baker, Jail Administrator Valerie Flores, Dispatch Supervisor Jennifer Velez, the jail phone number 432-283-2060, fax 432-283-9002, and the sheriff's mailing address at P.O. Box 159, Van Horn, Texas 79855.

The facility is a county jail, not a state prison. It holds people arrested in Culberson County before court action, local misdemeanor or short-sentence custody, felony pretrial detainees, state jail felony pretrial detainees, warrant holds, and other temporary custody categories reported to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. If a person is sentenced to TDCJ custody, the search moves to the statewide TDCJ locator after transfer.

Culberson County Jail Population

TCJS reports Culberson County Jail as a very small Texas county jail. The June 1, 2026 current population row listed 17-bed rated capacity and 10 total jail population, or 58.8% of capacity. The June 2026 incarceration-rate spreadsheet listed 14 average daily population for Culberson County. Those numbers are official TCJS figures, not a live inmate roster.

Look Up Culberson County Jail Inmates

No official public online Culberson County Jail roster was found. The correct lookup process is direct confirmation through the jail and sheriff records. A family member, attorney, or requester should call with the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, warrant number, case number, or arresting agency. If the person was just arrested, ask whether booking is complete.

1. Call 432-283-2060 and ask whether the person is currently held at Culberson County Jail.
2. Ask whether bond has been set and whether any hold, warrant, detainer, or transfer blocks release.
3. If you need a copy, request a booking sheet, jail roster entry, arrest report, or booking photo through the sheriff's records route.
4. Use the County Clerk, District Clerk, County Attorney, District Attorney, or JP court for filed charges and court status.
5. Use TDCJ, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINELink only if the custody type has moved beyond county jail custody.

Culberson County Jail Address

The county website and official records use two address concepts. The sheriff's mailing address is P.O. Box 159. The courthouse and jail physical reference used for visitor orientation is 300 La Caverna St, Van Horn, TX 79855. The official Texas Attorney General custodial death report also identified Culberson County Jail at 300 La Caverna in Van Horn.

Visit Culberson County Jail

No official jail-specific visitation schedule, remote video page, visitor approval form, dress code, child visitor policy, attorney visit rule, lobby hours, or holiday schedule was located on the county site. The accurate instruction is to call before traveling. Ask whether the person is still in custody, whether visits are active that day, where visitors enter, what ID is required, and whether the inmate must approve visitors first.

Mail and Money at Culberson County Jail

No official inmate-mail format, commissary vendor, money-deposit vendor, phone provider, video-call provider, deposit fee schedule, tablet program, or scan-and-destroy mail policy was located. Do not send mail, books, photos, funds, or money orders without confirming the current format and accepted method. A P.O. Box may be a sheriff mailing address but may not be the correct inmate-mail format.

Culberson County Jail Booking

Local booking procedures are not published in detail, but a county jail intake normally includes custody acceptance, paperwork review, property inventory, identifying information, fingerprints, booking photograph, medical and safety screening, charge or warrant entry, magistrate or bond routing, and classification. In a small 17-bed jail, the process may look less complex than a large urban facility, but state jail standards still apply.

The key practical point is timing. No public roster means there is no posted update schedule. Ask jail staff whether booking is complete before relying on bond, visit, photo, or record information.

Culberson County Jail Records

For a copy of a jail record, use a written Texas Public Information Act request after confirming the proper sheriff channel. Request the specific record by name: booking sheet, arrest report, jail roster entry, custody record, bond information, booking photograph, or release record. Include full name, date of birth, arrest date, case or warrant number, and requester contact details.

The Texas Attorney General public-information guide explains the statewide process. A 2020 Attorney General open-records letter involving the Culberson County Sheriff's Office shows that sheriff records can be handled through PIA analysis, but it is not a promise that every jail record must be released unredacted.

Culberson County Jail Transfers

Culberson County Jail is not the system of record for sentenced TDCJ prisoners after transfer. Use the TDCJ inmate search for state prison custody. No TDCJ unit, BOP prison, or ICE detention center was located physically in Culberson County in official sources. Federal or immigration custody may still affect a local case through warrants, detainers, or transfer.

Culberson County Jail Standards

TCJS is the relevant Texas county jail standards agency. The research found TCJS population, capacity, incarceration-rate, and immigration-detainer data, but no current Culberson County page describing jail programs, GED, work release, medical request forms, grievance forms, tablet programs, or reentry services. Ask jail staff how to submit medical concerns, medication information, grievances, or attorney-visit requests.

Official historical records include a Texas Attorney General custodial death report for John Robert Schubert Jr. and a Fifth Circuit opinion in litigation arising from a death while in pretrial detention at Culberson County Jail. Those records provide historical conditions and litigation context, not proof of current noncompliance or current operational policy.
