Coke County Jail Release Paths
Coke County Jail is an adult county jail operated by the Coke County Sheriff’s Office. Leaving its physical custody can mean community release on bond, personal recognizance, dismissal, time served, or completion of a county sentence. It can also mean a transfer. TDCJ, another jail, the U.S. Marshals Service, or ICE may accept custody. Until the destination is known, the precise statement is “released from Coke County custody.”
The jail release log should show the date, time, disposition, and receiving agency or destination if those fields exist and are public. The court file then explains the bond, dismissal, judgment, sentence, commitment, or warrant event behind the move. Neither record should be stretched beyond what it says. A court dismissal does not rule out another hold, while a jail time-out does not prove why a case ended.
| Jail event | Likely next source | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or recognizance | Coke court record | Conditions and active case |
| Time served or completed sentence | Judgment and release log | Credit and final time-out |
| TDCJ transfer | TDCJ offender search | State number, unit, and dates |
| Other-county transfer | Receiving sheriff or jail | New custody status |
| Federal or ICE transfer | BOP, federal case, or ICE ODLS | Which federal authority received custody |
Confirm Coke County Jail Release
The sheriff page has no inmate roster, booking search, recent-release list, or release-date field. Direct contact is therefore the first local step. Use a second identifier because two people can share a name. Ask about the past custody event, not only whether someone is in jail now.
- Call the Coke County Sheriff at 325-453-2717 with the full booked name, date of birth or approximate age, and booking date if known.
- Ask whether the person left Coke County custody, the date and time, the release code, and the receiving authority or destination.
- If staff cannot provide the information informally, request the booking sheet and jail release-log entry.
- Use the cause number with the combined Coke County County/District Clerk to identify the legal disposition.
- When the answer is transfer, verify the person with the receiving agency rather than describing the event as community release.
No online entry is not proof of release. It can also reflect a transfer, name mismatch, data delay, or restricted record.
The full county and multi-agency workflow appears on the Coke County released inmate search. For a state transfer, TDCJ accepts last and first name, TDCJ number, SID, gender, and race. Match the detail by age, offense, county, sentence, and unit. TDCJ does not archive ordinary Coke County bond releases.
Coke County Jail Records Contact
The official sheriff contact is the correct source for current custody and local release records. Published information does not give separate visiting, release-desk, lobby, property, or records hours. Call before traveling, arranging pickup, or expecting access to a specific part of the building.

The official Coke County Sheriff page displays the contact and links its Public Information Request form. It also carries an older VINELink direction, but Texas has since moved county notifications to IVSS-Counties.
The sheriff’s official contact and custody-status pathway are visible in the source page below.

Request Coke County Jail Records
Download the official sheriff request form. Describe an existing record instead of asking staff to research and narrate what happened. A useful request names the person and booking episode, then asks for the booking sheet and custody or release-log entry showing booking number, booked and released times, release disposition, receiving agency, charges, cause number, and booking photograph to the extent public.
Request electronic, nonconfidential portions and permit redaction of protected fields. The form states that a digital printed name counts as a signature. Submit it to the Open Records address or sheriff email, and keep proof. The form says the office has ten business days to release, extend, or seek an Attorney General ruling, with a possible 45-day ruling process. That wording should not be treated as a universal ten-day delivery guarantee.
| Cost term on Coke form | Stated rule |
|---|---|
| Charges | Attorney General cost-estimate model may apply |
| Deposit | $50 when the estimate exceeds $100 |
| Payment | Exact cash, money order, or cashier’s check |
Ask for an estimate before work if cost matters. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 permits exceptions, so juvenile, private, medical, victim, security, and active law-enforcement details may be withheld. Ask for the separable public portion and a written basis for redaction.
Coke Jail Release Record Fields
The public county site does not disclose which jail-management fields are stored. Naming the fields prevents false assumptions and helps the custodian find a responsive record. The key items are booked name and aliases, booking number, booking time, arresting and holding agencies, charges, cause or warrant number, release date and time, disposition, destination, and any public bond or sentence-credit details.
Copy the release reason exactly or paraphrase with care. “Bonded,” “time served,” “sentence complete,” “dismissed,” “transferred,” “detainer,” and “deceased” are not interchangeable. A booking photograph identifies intake appearance but does not prove guilt, current custody, disposition, or later release. Coke County publishes no official photo gallery or sheriff mobile app, so a single-booking request is the defensible photo route.
Local online retention cannot be measured because there is no public feed. If an older record is unavailable, ask which records-control schedule and disposition category applied. Do not assume the file was destroyed merely because nothing appears online.
Coke Jail Release Day Details
No official source states a daily release schedule, exit gate, property-return process, pickup rules, or transportation plan. Call 325-453-2717 before travel. Ask where a released person should be met, whether a property issue needs separate handling, and whether staff can give a safe time window. A projected court or jail date is not a promise of a release hour.
The sheriff and courthouse share the 13 E. 7th Street address, which may make a records trip efficient, but their access rules and hours are not the same. The clerk posts its own schedule. Jail operations can also change without appearing on the county page. Do not wait at a restricted jail exit or rely on commercial directory hours.
Closed Coke Release Site
The former Coke County Juvenile Justice Facility near Bronte is not an operating release-search channel. The Texas Senate reported its October 2007 closure after an audit found serious deficiencies. Stale directories can still cause confusion, but the former facility must not be listed as a current adult jail.
Current adult release inquiries belong with Coke County Jail or the authority named in a transfer record. Historical juvenile records have heightened restrictions and should go to the responsible juvenile or state authority. The closed facility has no present roster, release desk, or current contact path.
