Nacogdoches County Jail Overview
Nacogdoches County Jail is operated by the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office. It is the only local detention facility resolved in the Facility Map for this project. Research did not locate a separate officially published municipal jail, TDCJ prison, federal BOP prison, or ICE detention facility inside Nacogdoches County. City police arrests can still lead to this jail if the person is accepted into county custody after arrest.
The jail and sheriff office are at 2306 Douglass Road, Nacogdoches, TX 75964. The sheriff page identifies Sheriff Jason Bridges and gives sheriff office phone 936-560-7794, fax 936-560-6446, and sheriff@nac-sheriff.com. A sampled inmate profile gives 936-560-7783 as the jail number to call for visitation day and times. The same sheriff site publishes a live population page, inmate search, daily booking-summary PDFs, daily activity PDFs, and a Most Wanted page.
Nacogdoches County Jail Capacity
The sheriff's live population page reported 301 total people in the Nacogdoches County Jail on May 27, 2026, at 12:00:20 PM. It split that total into 270 males and 31 females. The same table grouped people by legal status, including pretrial Class A and B misdemeanors, pretrial felons, parole violators or blue warrants, pretrial state jail felons, and all other categories. TCJS 2022 incarceration-rate research cited countywide capacity of 324 and ADP of 314.
| Category | Male | Female | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pretrial Class A and B misdemeanors | 18 | 5 | 23 |
| Pretrial felons excluding parole violators and state jail felons | 177 | 18 | 195 |
| Parole violators or blue warrants | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Pretrial state jail felons | 30 | 4 | 34 |
| All other | 44 | 4 | 48 |
| Total | 270 | 31 | 301 |
Lookup Nacogdoches County Jail Inmates
The correct lookup system for this facility is the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search. It covers current county jail custody. It should not be used for a person already transferred to TDCJ, BOP, or ICE custody. The roster page says it updates every hour and provides the local *ALL option for browsing all current roster entries.
- Open the sheriff inmate search and review the timestamp.
- Search by name, or choose *ALL when spelling is uncertain.
- Scan the results list for picture, name, age, and booking date.
- Open the profile and record the booking number, booking date, booking type, charge table, and agency.
- Call 936-560-7783 when the roster has not refreshed, a recent arrest is missing, or a visit is planned.
A Nacogdoches County Jail profile can show the booking photo, name, age, address, booking number, booking date, booking type, charge fields, and visitation rules. The sampled profile did not show a bond amount, housing unit, or court date, so those should be verified by phone or through court channels.
Nacogdoches County Jail Contact
The jail and sheriff office share the Douglass Road address. Use the jail line for visitation day and times or current jail information. Use the sheriff office phone or records email for broader sheriff records and open-records routing. For expunction service, the county expunction notice gives a separate sheriff expunction email.

Visiting Nacogdoches County Jail
The official inmate-profile text reviewed for research does not publish a fixed weekly schedule. It tells visitors to call the Nacogdoches County Jail at 936-560-7783 for day and times. The rules it does publish are specific: bring photo identification, fill out the visitation form, and be on the inmate's visitation list before the visit is allowed.
| Topic | Verified Local Rule |
|---|---|
| Schedule | Call 936-560-7783 for day and times. |
| Identification | Photo identification card is required. |
| Visitor form | Visitor must complete a visitation form. |
| Inmate list | Visitor must be on the inmate's visitation list. |
| Property | Purses, handbags, and cell phones are not allowed in the visitation area. |
| Dress | No halter tops, spaghetti straps, mini skirts or shorts, low-cut or see-through clothing, or drug, alcohol, or gang-related attire. |
| Children | Children under 18 must be supervised at all times. |
Nacogdoches County Jail Mail and Money
Official sheriff pages found during research did not publish a mail-address format, scanned-mail rule, phone vendor, video vendor, online deposit vendor, kiosk rule, or fee table. The safe route is to call the jail before mailing anything or sending funds. Ask whether the inmate's full name, booking number, housing location, or other jail-specific format is required.
| Service | Verified Current Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail address format | Not located in official sheriff pages reviewed for this build. |
| Phone or video vendor | Not located in official sheriff pages reviewed for this build. |
| Online deposits | Not located in official sheriff pages reviewed for this build. |
| Commissary vendor | Not located in official sheriff pages reviewed for this build. |
| Deposit fees | Not located in official sheriff pages reviewed for this build. |
| Unclaimed funds | KTRE reported in 2024 that NCSO sought to return unclaimed former-inmate commissary funds. |
Do not rely on commercial deposit vendors unless the Nacogdoches County Jail confirms the vendor and fee in current instructions. A vendor name that is common in another county may be wrong for this jail.
Nacogdoches County Jail Booking
Booking at this facility is the local intake event after an arrest or warrant custody. The arresting agency may be the sheriff, Nacogdoches Police Department, DPS, a constable, university police, or another agency. Jail staff create a booking record, assign a booking number, take a booking photo, enter charges, and place booking type or status text on the profile. The public roster then displays after the system update.
The sheriff live population page also shows why not every inmate is in the same legal position. Some are pretrial misdemeanants or felons, one category covers parole violators or blue warrants, and another covers pretrial state jail felons. Bond, release, and transfer rules differ by category. A parole blue warrant or other detainer can block release even if another local charge appears bondable.
- Booking number
- The local jail identifier for the booking episode.
- Booking type
- A local status or custody text field that may use abbreviations.
- Blue warrant
- A parole warrant or hold that can affect release from county jail.
- Detainer
- A hold or request from another agency that may affect custody or transfer.
Nacogdoches County Jail Bond Checks
The sheriff page states that sheriff duties include accepting bail for prisoners in custody, but the sheriff pages reviewed did not publish a bond desk schedule, accepted payment methods, or a current bond payment rule. The sample inmate profile did not show bond amount or bond type. For that reason, bond should be verified with the jail or sheriff office before travel or payment.
- Open the jail profile and copy the name, booking number, booking date, booking type, and charge list.
- Call 936-560-7783 or 936-560-7794 to ask whether bond exists and whether any hold blocks release.
- Ask where bond must be posted and what payment methods are accepted.
- Use Municipal Court or GovRec only when the case is a city or JP ticket/payment matter, not as a substitute for jail release confirmation.
Nacogdoches County Jail Records
The sheriff website gives a direct open-records channel: email records@nac-sheriff.com or visit the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office during regular business hours. A request should ask for an existing record rather than asking the sheriff to answer a legal question. Include full name, approximate booking date, booking number if known, and the record type sought, such as booking record, booking photo, jail incident record, or released-inmate record.
The county expunction notice gives ncso_expunctions@nac-sheriff.com for sheriff expunction contact. It also lists many other agencies that can hold pieces of an arrest record, including the District Clerk, County Clerk, District Attorney, County Attorney, probation, four JPs, Nacogdoches Police Department, and Municipal Court. That local notice is strong evidence that a jail record may not be the only record created after an arrest.
Nacogdoches County Jail Standards
County jail standards in Texas are overseen by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. TCJS was created to implement minimum standards for county jail construction, maintenance, operation, custody, care, and treatment. The research also noted a 2022 KTRE story reporting past TCJS non-compliance issues at the Nacogdoches County Jail. That story is dated history and should not be read as a current compliance finding.
The current TCJS non-compliant jail page explains that counties are listed after verified notice and removed when compliance is attained. Current compliance should be checked against TCJS, not inferred from older news. The TCJS non-compliant jail page is the relevant state source for that status.
