This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule a visit, or pull official booking records. For those tasks, use the official office that holds the record.


Runnels County Record Contacts

For current local custody, start with the Runnels County Jail line or the Runnels County Sheriff's Office. The county research did not locate public lobby hours for the jail or a separate sheriff records-unit schedule, so call before visiting or sending a written records request.

Runnels County Sheriff's Office

612 Strong Avenue
Ballinger, TX 76821

Phone: 325-365-2121
Jail information line: 325-365-2110

Published hours: no jail lobby or records-unit hours were found in the county source material. Call first.

Use the right channel for the type of record involved. A current Runnels County Jail booking is different from a court case, a sentenced TDCJ prison record, or a federal or immigration custody search.

  • For someone in the county jail, use the jail inmate records page and the Runnels County Jail line.
  • For booking photos tied to current roster entries, use the jail roster mugshots page.
  • For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the county or district clerk path that fits the case.
  • For facility address and custody role details, use the Runnels County Jail page listed in the footer.
  • For a sentenced Texas prisoner, search the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate locator instead of the county jail roster.
  • For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons locator, U.S. Marshals custody channels, or ICE ODLS as applicable.
