Tyler County Jail Roster Status
The main finding for Tyler County inmate records is that no official county-hosted public jail roster was located on the county website. The Tyler County Sheriff's Office jail page links users to VINE Link/Inmate Lookup and explains that VINE can be used to check custody status, sign up for notices, and receive alerts when status changes, including transfer or bonding out. The sheriff homepage lists Sheriff Bryan Weatherford and the office contact block. That makes VINE the county-published online status channel, not a full local booking-profile portal.
Tyler County Jail is still the right local facility for recent arrests, pretrial custody, misdemeanor jail sentences, and people waiting for state or federal transfer. The jail is operated by the Tyler County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division. It is separate from Gib Lewis Unit, which is a TDCJ prison for sentenced state inmates. If a search is for a new arrest in Woodville, Ivanhoe, or elsewhere in Tyler County, start with VINE and Corrections. If the person was sentenced to prison, use TDCJ.
The sheriff's jail page is the official source for Tyler County Jail services and for the VINE route.
The page gives jail rules and contact paths, but it does not publish a searchable county roster with public inmate profiles.
Search Tyler County Inmate Records
A Tyler County jail roster search should be treated as a custody-status workflow. VINE is useful for checking whether a person is in custody or has changed status, while Corrections is the practical fallback for recent bookings, spelling issues, or unclear release and transfer status. Written records requests are best for existing county jail documents such as a booking sheet, arrest report, jail log, or release record.
- Open VINELink from the sheriff's published VINE lookup path and search the Texas custody tools when available.
- Search with the full legal name. Add age, date of birth, arrest date, or agency details when the tool allows narrowing.
- If VINE does not show a clear result, call Tyler County Corrections at (409) 283-6331 with the same identifying details.
- For existing documents, use the sheriff's open-records PDF and ask for a specific record type rather than a broad record sweep.
- If the person has moved to prison, switch to TDCJ Inmate Search or IVSS instead of continuing with county jail channels.
Tyler County Roster Search Fields
Because Tyler County did not publish a roster form, the field inventory is also a gap inventory. It helps set expectations and gives the practical facts to gather before calling Corrections or filing a records request.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Tyler County jail roster | Not available | Not applicable | No official county-hosted roster form was found on the county site. |
| VINELink offender search | Web search | Unspecified | Use name and Texas or county custody filters when the interface provides them. |
| Phone lookup with Corrections | Phone | Practical fallback | Provide full name, DOB or age, arrest date, arresting agency, and case or charge if known. |
| Public-information request | Written PDF | Required for records | Use case number, incident dates, involved names, and the specific record requested. |
Tyler County Inmate Profile Details
No official Tyler County public inmate profile was available to inspect in the research. That means a page should not state that Tyler County online profiles show mugshots, bond, charge rows, court dates, housing units, or release dates. Those details may exist in jail or court records, but the public path is VINE, phone confirmation, clerk records, or a Texas Public Information Act request.
| Field | What It Shows or How to Request It |
|---|---|
| Full name | Needed for VINE, Corrections, and records requests. |
| Case number | The sheriff's open-records form includes a Case No field for precise requests. |
| Incident or call dates | The form asks for dates of incidents or calls. |
| Custody status | Check VINE or call Corrections for current custody. |
| Transfer or bonding-out status | VINE alerts may cover status changes, including transfer and bonding out. |
| Booking photo | Not found in a county online gallery; request it if needed and releasable. |
Tyler County Custody Search Channels
Tyler County inmate records are split by custody type. The county jail path covers local custody. The state prison path covers sentenced prisoners. Federal and immigration tools cover separate systems. Searching the wrong system can look like a false negative.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Recent arrest or pretrial jail custody | VINE and Tyler County Corrections | The sheriff publishes VINE for inmate lookup and custody status. |
| Sentenced Texas prison inmate | TDCJ Inmate Search | TDCJ covers prison location, offenses, and projected release date. |
| Federal sentenced prisoner | BOP Inmate Locator | BOP records cover federal inmates from 1982 to present. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | ICE custody is separate from county jail and TDCJ custody. |

Booking Process in Tyler County
Tyler County's official jail page does not publish a detailed booking timeline, but the local custody facts are clear. After an arrest, the person may be taken to Tyler County Jail for intake, identification, property handling, medical screening, and housing review. The jail maintains an in-house Registered Nurse for medical needs. The jail also holds people who did not post bail and are awaiting trial, which ties booking to the first appearance, bond, and court path.
Recent arrests may not appear immediately in VINE. A name spelling error, a recent release, a transfer, or a hold from another agency can also make a search unclear. Corrections can confirm practical custody questions, while the sheriff's open-records request form is better for documents. For formal charges after booking, use the District Clerk, County Clerk, Justice Court, or municipal court path described on the court records after jail arrest page.
Tyler County Jail Visitation Rules
Once custody is confirmed, Tyler County Jail visitation rules come from the sheriff's jail page. Visitors need valid ID or a driver's license. Only one visit per day per inmate is allowed. Cell phones are prohibited in the visitation room, and clothing must meet the published dress code.
| Facility | Days | Time | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tyler County Jail / Justice Center | Sunday and Tuesday | 11:00 AM-4:00 PM | Sign in before 3:30 PM; valid ID required; one visit per day per inmate. |
Note: Confirm custody before traveling, because release, transfer, court movement, or a housing restriction can affect a visit.
Contacting a Tyler County Inmate
Tyler County Jail permits outgoing inmate calls only. Incoming calls to inmates are not allowed. The county names Infinity Networks and NCIC, with phone support at 888-459-4521, for collect calls, inmate prepaid or call-card calls, and number-specific calling accounts. Mail may include letters, photographs, drawings, and similar content if it does not violate content rules. Books are accepted only as donations to the Tyler County Jail Library, which is a specific local rule worth following exactly.
| Service | Tyler County Rule |
|---|---|
| Phone calls | Outgoing only; no incoming inmate calls. |
| Phone provider | Infinity Networks / NCIC, 888-459-4521. |
| Letters and photos may be accepted if content rules are met. | |

Tyler County Commissary Funds
Tyler County Jail commissary can include food, clothing, hygiene supplies, stationery, and other approved items. The sheriff's jail page says money orders should be payable to "Tyler County Inmate Trust Fund" and the inmate's name should be printed in the signature area. Money orders are accepted at the Tyler County Justice Center. Tiger Commissary also lists Tyler County Jail in Woodville for web deposits to an inmate trust fund account, but the research did not capture a local fee schedule.
Note: Confirm custody and the inmate name before sending money, because release or transfer can change the correct deposit route.
