Find Crane County Released Inmates

Search Crane County Release Records

No single database covers every person who leaves custody in Crane County. Start by identifying the arresting agency, the likely custodian, and whether the case was county, state, federal, or immigration-related. The official Crane County Sheriff page gives the jail telephone route and links to VINELink, but it does not publish a sheriff roster, 24-hour list, 72-hour list, or mobile application. For a county booking, call 432-558-3571 and ask whether custody ended, when it ended, and whether the recorded destination was the community or another agency.

1. Use the person’s full name, date of birth if known, approximate booking date, and booking number if available.
2. Ask for the last custody transaction, release date and time, release authority or reason, and destination or transfer notation.
3. Confirm the judicial outcome in the criminal case rather than treating a jail exit as a dismissal or acquittal.
4. If an informal answer is not available, request the booking/release sheet, jail card, movement record, or equivalent existing record in writing.

What a Crane Release Record Shows

The sheriff’s responsive record is the strongest local evidence of the physical custody event. No official online Crane field schema was located, so request the specific data needed instead of assuming a commercial roster’s columns match county records. Some information may be redacted or withheld under an applicable law, and the agency can explain that determination.

A release sheet does not necessarily contain the final judgment, and a court file may not show the exact moment the jail opened the door. Use both records when the reason and timing matter. A booking photograph should be requested separately and tied to the identified booking; it is not proof of guilt, disposition, or current status.

Request a Crane County Jail Record

Texas Government Code Chapter 552 supplies the public-information framework. Describe an existing record and a precise period. For example, identify a 24-hour or 72-hour range by beginning and ending date, time, and time zone, then ask for the fields above. If the jail cannot create a new release list, narrow the request to existing logs or individual booking/release sheets. Send sheriff-held jail requests to the sheriff or the county’s correct public-information recipient, even though the clerk hosts a general county form.

The Crane County and District Clerk page identifies Andrea Flores, Room 110 at 201 W. 6th Street, P.O. Box 578, Crane, TX 79731, coclerk@co.crane.tx.us, and 432-558-3581. Posted hours are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with earlier cutoffs for monetary transactions. These clerk details do not turn the clerk into the custodian of sheriff jail logs. Ask the sheriff for its public-information officer and a written cost estimate for a large request; clerk recording fees should not be represented as jail-record fees.

The official clerk page shows the county request link and office contacts:

Use that form as a written channel only after confirming which office holds the requested release record.

Use Crane Criminal Court Records

Crane’s combined County and District Clerk functions can make the web path look simpler than it is. Two linked systems serve different purposes. EagleWeb is an official recorded-document index whose disclaimer describes the index as a guide. It is not the proper substitute for a defendant or jail-release search. The District Clerk separately links the Texas civil and criminal trial-court portal. Search that criminal portal and request the actual file when documents or coverage are incomplete.

A court file can supply a cause number, charge, filings, judgment, sentence, and later orders. It may explain whether bond, dismissal, probation, or a sentence followed the arrest, but it may omit the jail’s exact release timestamp. Municipal cases take a separate route through the City of Crane Municipal Court. Sealed, expunged, juvenile, and otherwise restricted material is not public merely because a search page exists.

Check TDCJ Custody and Dates

The TDCJ Offender Information Search applies to people currently incarcerated in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility. It accepts last and first name, TDCJ number, State Identification number, and offered gender and race filters. A detail can show facility, projected release date, maximum sentence date, parole eligibility date, a scheduled-release block, and offense information. These prospective labels are not interchangeable, and the public search is not a historical database of every released Texan.

A Crane County bond release does not create a TDCJ record. If the person was transferred into state custody, the TDCJ result may explain why the county jail no longer holds them. Use TDCJ’s offender-information channels and formal Public Information Act process for records or post-release confirmation. A projected date can change because of sentence correction, credit, discipline, detainers, Board action, or other lawful processing; after the event, obtain the actual movement, release, or discharge record.

Crane County Recent Release Lists

No official Crane County or sheriff 24-hour or 72-hour release feed was verified as of the August 2, 2026 research sweep. No official photo roster or sheriff mobile app was verified either. The Released Last 24 Hours and Released Last 72 Hours guides therefore explain how to frame exact-period requests rather than displaying invented names or recycled commercial data.

For a same-day question, state the exact 24-hour endpoints. For a weekend or multi-day check, state the 72-hour endpoints and time zone. Ask the jail whether an existing release log can be inspected; if not, request the individual release records you can identify. Publication absence is not record absence. Likewise, disappearance from a current-custody screen does not prove release. The person may have been transferred, the feed may be delayed, or the search may have missed a name variant.

Follow Crane Custody Notifications

The sheriff page directs users to Texas VINELink. Search for the specific person, narrow by the correct agency, compare available identifiers, and read the exact custody event. Crane’s live participation and the events offered must be confirmed in the current interface. A negative result is not a release finding. If the correct record offers registration, choose the available event and delivery method and complete any PIN or confirmation step. Then verify a release or transfer with the agency named in the notice.

TDCJ operates a separate post-conviction system, IVSS, for correctional custody, parole review, release to supervision, discharge, and warrant-related notices. VINELink and IVSS should not be merged. The correct system follows the custodian: Crane jail if participating, TDCJ for state prison or parole, BOP for sentenced federal imprisonment, and ICE for immigration detention.

Verify Parole or Crane Probation

Parole and probation describe different legal relationships. TDCJ Parole Division supervises people released from state custody on parole or mandatory supervision. The official county cross-reference assigns Crane to the Monahans District Parole Office at 401 South Allen Avenue, Monahans, TX 79756, 432-943-7254. Crane County Community Supervision and Corrections Department handles court-ordered adult probation from Room 200, 201 W. 6th Street, Crane, 432-558-1107. A probation judgment does not prove a prison release.

Texas parole panels review files rather than holding formal individual inmate hearings. An eligibility date is a review milestone, a Board vote is a decision, and TDCJ movement data shows whether release actually occurred. The Parole / Probation guide explains the Board, supervision offices, decision codes, warrants, and regional resource checks. No Crane-run reentry office was verified; TDCJ resources serving West Texas should be described as regional and revalidated before use.

Trace Federal and ICE Transfers

The Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator covers federal BOP commitments from 1982 onward and accepts a register or other federal identifier, or a name with age, race, and sex. It can show a release date and a status such as released or not in BOP custody, but it does not cover an ordinary Crane County booking. Federal pretrial detainees may be under U.S. Marshals Service responsibility before any BOP sentence; there is no equivalent public USMS release roster.

No dedicated ICE detention facility or verified county ICE contract was found in Crane County. Even so, a jail notation showing release to ICE means transfer into federal civil custody, not community release. Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator for present ICE custody and contact Enforcement and Removal Operations when necessary. Ask the sheriff for the receiving-agency notation because a single negative database check cannot distinguish transfer from release.

Getting Home After a Crane Release

TxDOT’s Find a Ride directory identifies West Texas Opportunities, Inc., WTO I TRAX, as serving Crane County and lists 806-872-8354. The directory does not say that service stops at the Law Enforcement Center, operates at release hours, or can accept a same-day pickup. Call ahead. Jail staff should separately confirm the current release entrance and approved pickup point before anyone travels to meet a released person.

Transportation and jail access require two separate confirmations. The transit provider can explain whether a ride is available for the date and area; jail staff can explain where an approved pickup may occur. Neither source in the research establishes a fixed release hour, fare, waiting area, or jail-door route, so those details should not be guessed.

Crane’s New Release Facility

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards’ 2023 Annual Jail Report identifies the Crane County Law Enforcement Center as a 68-bed facility opened that year. Crane County financial records document the major new-center commitment, and corroborating project material describes a roughly 39,935-square-foot complex that replaced the 1958 jail and expanded the former 24-bed capacity. The facility change makes old web directories unusually risky: a listing may carry the courthouse-era location, old capacity, or an entrance that no longer serves the public.

The official sheriff page lists P.O. Box 1175 and 432-558-3571 but does not establish the new center’s physical visitor or release entrance. The county’s general 201 W. 6th Street address should not be converted into an assumed release door. Before visiting, call the official number and ask for current physical directions, the approved pickup point, property-return instructions, and any applicable waiting rule. Record who supplied the information and when, because operational directions can change without appearing in the release record.

Regional Reentry Help for Crane Releases

No county-operated Crane reentry office was verified. TDCJ’s Rehabilitation and Reentry Division and statewide Reentry Resource Guide instead place Crane within a broader West Texas service landscape that can include Ector, Upton, Pecos, and Ward County resources. Describe those contacts as regional referrals, not Crane County programs. Confirm that a provider still operates, serves the person’s residence, and offers the relevant service before travel or disclosure of personal details.

Reentry assistance also does not establish legal supervision. A person on parole or mandatory supervision should obtain the current TDCJ Parole Division reporting instructions; a person on probation should follow the sentencing court and supervising CSCD. Someone who completed custody without supervision may use a regional resource without becoming a parolee or probationer. Keeping service referral, custody release, and supervision status separate prevents a helpful directory entry from being misread as an official release record.

Choose the Correct Release System

The Texas DPS sex-offender registry is another specialized public system, not a list of all released people or a complete custody history. Any public record may also be affected by expunction under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A, nondisclosure under Government Code Chapter 411, juvenile confidentiality, correction, or an agency-specific exception. Never use the material on this site for employment, housing, credit, insurance, tenant screening, or another FCRA-regulated decision.

Browse Crane Custody Facilities

These pages follow each actual custody path rather than pretending every entry is a building inside Crane County. The Law Enforcement Center is the primary local jail; city police are an arrest route without a verified separate long-term jail; TDCJ, parole, probation, BOP, and ICE pages explain statewide or federal systems that may receive or supervise a Crane County person.
