Gonzales County Custody Contacts
The main local custody point is Gonzales County Jail, operated by the Gonzales County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Keith Schmidt. The jail information page identifies 830-672-6362 as the number for inmate status, booking information, bond information, and jail contact. The sheriff's non-emergency line is separate from the jail line, and the sheriff Forms/FAQs page links the Public Information Act poster and the official record request PDF for existing records under Texas Government Code Chapter 552.

Choose the contact path based on the kind of record or custody question:
- For a person who may be in Gonzales County Jail, start with the jail line and the jail inmate records guidance.
- For booking photos or mugshot request context, review jail roster mugshots and then use an official records channel if needed.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the appropriate court or clerk record system.
- For facility-specific details, use the Gonzales County Jail page listed in the footer.
- For a sentenced Texas prisoner, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search or Texas IVSS instead of the county jail line.
- For a federal inmate or immigration detainee, use the Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
