Bee County Jail Overview

Bee County Sheriff's Office operates the Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail as the county's main detention facility. The official directory identifies Sheriff Randy Aguirre as sheriff and Roselee Bailey as jail administrator. The same Bee County directory lists jail staff roles such as jail lieutenant, jail sergeant, jail corporal, jail transport officer, jail kitchen supervisor, and jailer. That staff detail matters because the county does not publish a long jail operations page. The directory and sheriff page are the best official local sources for the facility name, address, phone, fax, sheriff, and jail administration contacts.

The Bee County jail holds people in local custody before trial, people serving local jail sentences, defendants held on bench warrants, people with parole or state jail felony issues, and some reported federal or immigration categories when those appear in state jail reports. It is separate from the three Texas Department of Criminal Justice prisons in Beeville. A newly arrested person is usually searched through the Bee County jail and IVSS path. A person sentenced to TDCJ, transferred to McConnell, Garza East, or Garza West, or assigned to a state prison unit must be searched through TDCJ instead.

The matching official source image is the Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail directory entry, which shows the jail contact card and staff directory source used for this facility page.

The directory screenshot reinforces the local custody contact point: Bee County jail questions start at the sheriff and jail office, not at the courthouse record rooms or the TDCJ unit pages.

Bee County Jail Population

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports give the clearest sourced population numbers for the Bee County jail. The June 1, 2026 TCJS county jail population spreadsheet reported a rated capacity of 145 beds and a total jail population of 94 for Bee County, which equaled 64.8 percent of capacity. The same TCJS reporting set also listed Bee County's incarceration rate as 2.98 per 1,000 residents using an inmate figure of 93 and a population figure of 31,226. These figures are county jail figures. They do not include the full state prison population at the Beeville TDCJ units.

TCJS categories for Bee County include pretrial misdemeanants, convicted misdemeanants, bench warrants, pretrial felons, parole violators, state jail felony categories, federal inmates, and other status columns. That means the jail population is not only people arrested the same day. It can include people waiting for court, people waiting for another agency, and people whose release depends on more than one charge or hold. A bond amount on one case does not always mean the person can leave if another hold remains active.

Bee County Jail Lookup

Bee County did not publish a county-hosted jail roster or mugshot gallery in the official sources reviewed. Instead, the sheriff's office page directs readers to Texas IVSS Counties to check offender custody status. That makes IVSS the first online channel for a Bee County jail custody search, but it should not be described as a full Bee County jail roster unless the portal itself shows a complete roster result. If the online search misses a person, call the jail rather than assuming release.

1. Open the Bee County sheriff page or go directly to the IVSS Counties custody-status website linked by Bee County.
2. Search with the most exact name spelling available and use birth date or other identifiers if the portal requests them.
3. If no match appears, call Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail at 361-362-3221 with the person's full name, date of birth if known, and arrest date.
4. For a booking sheet, older custody record, or booking photo not shown online, frame the request as a Texas Public Information Act request to the sheriff's office.

A sentenced state prisoner is different. When a Bee County defendant transfers to TDCJ, the correct locator is the TDCJ Inmate Search, not IVSS county custody. Federal and immigration transfers use separate BOP or ICE lookup systems.

Bee County Jail Contact

Use the jail phone for current custody, bond status that can be released, local visitation confirmation, mail format, and property questions. Bee County's official pages did not publish a separate jail records email, bond counter schedule, public lobby hours, mail rule sheet, or commissary vendor. The safest route is direct confirmation before a visit, deposit, or records trip.

Bee County Jail Visits

Bee County did not publish an official jail visitation schedule, video visit vendor, visitor approval form, dress code page, or attorney visit rule page during the research pass. Do not rely on general Texas jail habits or third-party lists for Bee County visit times. A family member should call the jail at the official number before traveling to ask whether visits are in person or video, whether the inmate is eligible for a visit, what ID is required, and whether any item restrictions apply at the lobby.

Note: A current IVSS result does not prove that a person can receive visits the same day.

Bee County Jail Mail

The official Bee County pages reviewed did not publish jail mail rules, a postcard-only policy, money deposit vendor, commissary deposit limits, phone account company, or video call provider. That absence should be treated as a research limit, not a space to fill with generic jail rules. Before sending mail or funds, confirm the inmate's full booking name, whether a booking number is required, the proper mailing format, contraband rules, and whether funds are accepted online, in the lobby, by kiosk, or by another method.

Bee County Booking Intake

After a Bee County arrest, the ordinary county-jail path is transport to the jail, identification, property intake, arrest and charge entry, warrant or hold checks, medical screening, classification, and housing assignment. The county did not publish a local timing rule for how fast a new booking appears in IVSS. A fresh arrest may be in process, waiting on magistration, held under a different spelling, or transferred before a public online result is easy to find.

Booking charges are not always the same as filed court charges. The jail record starts with arrest and custody data. The Bee County Clerk handles county-level misdemeanor criminal records, while felony and district-court matters route through the District Clerk and iDocket. For custody status, start with the jail. For filed court records after a jail arrest, use the court record channels once a case exists.

Bee County Jail Records

The Bee County jail page should be read with one key local fact in mind: Beeville has one county jail plus three state prisons. The county jail is the local arrest and pretrial custody point. McConnell, Garza East, and Garza West are TDCJ facilities for sentenced state prisoners and other state prison classifications. A county jail search will not replace the TDCJ locator after transfer, and the TDCJ locator will not replace a call to the Bee County jail for a same-day arrest.

The courthouse offices are also separate from the jail. Misdemeanor case records route through the County Clerk Criminal Department, felony and district-court criminal records route through the District Clerk, and prosecutor decisions route through the 156th District Attorney. Use those offices for filed case records after a case exists. Use the jail for current custody, booking, visit, mail, and public-information questions tied to the detention record.
