Bee County Jail Records Overview
The official Bee County Sheriff's Office page does not publish a county-hosted inmate roster, booking report, or searchable mugshot gallery in the research sources reviewed. Instead, that office directs users to the Texas IVSS Counties custody-status website. That makes IVSS the first online stop for a Bee County inmate records search, but it should be treated as a custody-status channel, not as proof that every booking field is online.
The Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail is operated by Sheriff Randy Aguirre at the county jail facility in Beeville. The staff directory names Roselee Bailey as Jail Administrator and gives the jail's main phone as the local confirmation route. When IVSS does not show a match, the next steps are direct phone confirmation, an in-person or mailed request, and a Texas Public Information Act request for records that are not posted online.
The county's official directory is the best local contact source for jail identity and staff roles. See the Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail directory entry for the source page shown below.
The directory matters because Bee County's jail lookup path depends on the sheriff's office and jail phone, not on a full local roster page.
Use Bee County IVSS First
Bee County inmate records should be searched through the official chain in order. Start with the sheriff's office custody link to IVSS. Use exact name spelling when available, and keep a date of birth, arrest date, or charge description nearby before calling the jail. A blank online result does not prove release. A person may have been booked recently, released before the system refreshed, transferred to a TDCJ unit, held under another name variation, moved to federal custody, or subject to an immigration detainer.
- Open the Bee County Sheriff's Office page and follow its IVSS Counties custody-status link, or go directly to the Texas IVSS Counties portal.
- Search with the most exact name details available. If the portal offers county or agency choices, select the Bee County path before widening the search.
- Read the result as custody status only. The Bee County research did not confirm that IVSS displays all charges, bond, housing, court dates, or booking photos.
- If IVSS misses the person, call Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail at 361-362-3221 with the full name, date of birth if known, and arrest or booking date.
- For older records, booking sheets, or details not released online, send a Texas Public Information Act request to the sheriff's office and identify the exact record sought.

Because IVSS is a status tool, the jail phone and written request route remain important when a family needs more than a custody match.
Bee County Roster Search Fields
The research file did not capture a full Bee County jail roster field set because no county-hosted roster was located. The table below uses the documented search channels instead of inventing fields. It separates the online IVSS path from the jail phone inquiry and the written public-information request.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bee County IVSS Counties fields | Portal fields | Unspecified | Bee County links IVSS, but exact field controls were not fully captured. Treat the result as custody status. |
| Jail phone lookup | Phone inquiry | Not applicable | Call 361-362-3221 with full name, date of birth if known, and booking or arrest date. |
| Public-information request | Written request | Not applicable | Identify the person, date, requested record type, and requester contact information. |
Bee County Inmate Record Fields
No official Bee County sample jail profile was captured, so the public fields cannot be promised as if a full roster profile exists. The confirmed local point is narrower: Bee County points people to IVSS for custody status and gives the jail phone for direct confirmation. Records such as booking sheets, charge summaries, bond details, and booking photos may require jail confirmation or a Public Information Act request.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Likely the custody name if IVSS returns a match; the exact Bee County display was not captured. |
| Custody status | The central purpose of IVSS is offender custody status. Verify release, transfer, and hold details with the jail. |
| Facility | May identify the holding agency or facility if available. Confirm whether the person is in the Bee County jail or another system. |
| Charges and bond | Not confirmed from a Bee County public roster. Ask the jail or check filed court records after a case opens. |
| Booking photo | Not confirmed online for Bee County. Request through the sheriff's office if needed. |
Bee County Jail vs Prison
Bee County has one local county jail and three state prisons in Beeville. That local fact is easy to confuse. The Bee County jail houses pretrial detainees, local misdemeanor or sentenced jail inmates, bench warrants, state jail felons awaiting transfer, parole holds, and reported federal or ICE categories when they appear in jail reports. William G. McConnell Unit, Garza East Unit, and Garza West Unit are TDCJ prisons for sentenced state prisoners and are not searched through the Bee County jail roster path.
| Custody | Where to Look | Use When |
|---|---|---|
| County jail custody | Bee County IVSS link, jail phone, and sheriff PIA request | Recent arrest, pretrial detention, local jail sentence, warrant hold, or bond question. |
| Sentenced state prison | TDCJ Inmate Search | Felony sentence, transfer from county jail, or assignment to McConnell, Garza East, or Garza West. |
| Federal custody | Federal BOP Inmate Locator | Sentenced federal prisoner or some post-sentence federal custody records. |
| Immigration custody | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | Possible immigration transfer, A-number search, or biographical ODLS search. |
Note: TDCJ and federal locators do not replace the Bee County jail for a new local arrest.
Bee County Detention Facilities
The facility list for Bee County includes a county jail and three TDCJ prisons. Only the Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail is the local jail roster and intake point. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards reported the Bee County jail at 145 beds, with a June 1, 2026 total population of 94 and 64.8% of capacity. The other Beeville facilities are state prisons, so a person housed there should be searched through TDCJ rather than through IVSS or the jail phone.

Bee County Booking Timeline
After a Bee County arrest, the usual Texas county-jail sequence is arrest, transport to jail, intake, identification, property handling, fingerprints or photographs when required, warrant checks, medical screening, and housing classification. The county did not publish exact booking time, IVSS refresh timing, phone-access timing, or property-release rules, so those details should be confirmed with the Bee County jail rather than assumed from another county.
Booking charges are not always the same as filed court charges. Jail intake reflects the arrest and custody reason. Later, the prosecutor may file a complaint, information, indictment, amended charge, or dismissal in the proper court. Class A and B misdemeanor records generally route through the Bee County Clerk Criminal Department, while felony case records route through the District Clerk and iDocket. For the case side after custody, see Bee County court records after jail arrest.
Bee County Jail Visitation
Bee County did not publish a jail visitation schedule, mail rule page, commissary page, bond counter schedule, or video-visit vendor in the official sources reviewed. That gap is a local fact. Confirm visitor approval, lobby access, ID rules, dress code, mail format, money deposits, phone calls, and property rules with the Bee County Sheriff's Office and Jail before traveling or sending funds.
| Topic | Official Detail Located | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not published on Bee County site in this pass. | Call 361-362-3221 before arrival. |
| Video visitation | Not published. | Ask the jail whether a vendor or appointment rule applies. |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not published. | Confirm ID, age, clothing, and item limits by phone. |
| Mail rules | Not published. | Ask for current inmate mail format and prohibited items. |
| Commissary and money deposits | Not published. | Verify custody before sending money. |
Request Bee County Booking Records
Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Public Information Act, is the main public-records path for booking records not posted online. A useful request to the sheriff's office should name the person, date of birth if known, approximate arrest or booking date, arresting agency if known, and the requested record type. Examples include a booking sheet, jail roster entry, bond information, incident report, or booking photograph. Do not ask for every file if one record will answer the question.
Use the courthouse offices only after the case side matters. The County Clerk Criminal Department handles Bee County Class A and B misdemeanor records, while felony and district-court criminal inquiries belong with the District Clerk and iDocket. Those offices can help with filed charges, docket settings, and case paperwork, but they do not confirm whether a person is still housed in the jail today locally.
- Booking
- Jail intake that creates the custody record after arrest.
- Magistrate
- A judicial officer who advises a jailed person of rights and may set bond.
- Detainer
- A notice or request from another agency that may delay release.
- PR bond
- Release based on a written promise to appear, often with court conditions.
State Federal ICE Search
TDCJ is the state prison locator for sentenced prisoners. The TDCJ inmate information hub says location, offenses, and projected release date may be obtained online, by email, or by telephone. The direct TDCJ Inmate Search accepts TDCJ number, SID number, or name details. A TDCJ result is not a Bee County jail booking record, but it can explain where a person went after sentencing or transfer.
Federal and immigration records use their own channels. The BOP locator supports number and name searches for many federal inmates from 1982 forward. ICE ODLS searches by A-number and country of birth or by biographical information. The U.S. Marshals Service Southern District of Texas may be relevant for federal pretrial custody or prisoner transport, but federal pretrial detainees may not appear in BOP in the same way as sentenced federal prisoners.
Note: Confirm current Bee County jail custody before scheduling a visit, sending funds, or relying on a court record alone.
