Where Martin County Jail Releases Go
The Martin County Sheriff operates the verified local custody facility at the Dan Saunders Law Enforcement Center. A person leaving it may return to the community after bond, time served, dismissal-related action, or a court order for community supervision. The person may instead move to TDCJ, another county jail, federal custody, or immigration custody. All are custody-ending events for Martin County, but only some are community releases.
No public release-destination archive is available. The sheriff’s event record is therefore the first source for the time, type, and any releasable destination. The combined Martin County and District Clerk file can supply a bond order, dismissal, plea, judgment, sentence, jail credit, or community-supervision order. If another custodian took control, that receiving system supplies the next status.
Confirm a Martin County Jail Release
The Martin County Current Inmate Roster is useful only for present-listing context. A released person will usually disappear, but absence can also follow transfer, death, correction, suppression, or a system change. Use a source chain rather than treating the missing name as the answer.
- Search the roster by name and corroborate identity with booking, birth, charge, or case facts. Note when the search was performed.
- Call the Sheriff at 432-756-3336 and request the existing release or transfer event for the named booking. Give a booking or CCN number when known.
- Search the combined clerk’s docket for the related court order or disposition. “Disposed” describes the case, not the precise jail exit time.
- Check Texas IVSS-Counties if Martin participation appears and an event was reported. Treat a notice as informational until the underlying sheriff record confirms it.
- Follow any transfer to TDCJ, another jail, BOP, or ICE. Use the receiving agency’s identifiers and update schedule.
The Martin County released-inmate search explains the full cross-system method. For a very recent event, the 24-Hour Releases page explains why no public same-day archive is available.
Martin County Jail Roster Limits
Martin County labels the Kologik page “Current Inmate Roster.” The public history check returned N, and history mode did not provide an archive. No official 24-hour or 72-hour release list, public retention period, publication cadence, or sheriff application was verified. The current interface cannot reconstruct who appeared and left between two visits.
The data model contains fields for name, age or birth year, physical descriptors, arrest and booking time, arresting agency, days in jail, court data, charges, bond, warrants, images, incarceration status, and release date and time. A schema field does not mean the value is filled or publicly retained. Sampled current records had a blank release field. Bond also appears at the charge level, so one displayed amount cannot prove that every charge and hold has been resolved.
The successful manifest capture comes from the official current roster used for Martin County Jail.
The screen supports a present-custody check, but its current-only design shows why a formal release event is needed after a person disappears.
Request Martin County Jail Records
No dedicated sheriff records portal was found. Call 432-756-3336 to confirm the custodian and delivery method. A request may be mailed to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, P.O. Box 1127, Stanton, TX 79782, delivered to 3522 Interstate 20 during office hours, or sent by fax if the Sheriff confirms acceptance at 432-607-2992.
Ask for existing documents rather than a legal conclusion about whether someone was “free.” Identify the person with full name, approximate date, and booking, CCN, or case number. Request the booking sheet, custody event log, booking and release timestamps, release code or type, bond-release documentation, sentence or time-served entry, holds, transfer destination when releasable, and booking photograph if needed.
| Record field | Question answered |
|---|---|
| Booking or CCN | Which admission does the event concern? |
| Release timestamp | When did Martin County custody end? |
| Event type or code | Was bond, time served, court action, or transfer recorded? |
| Destination | Did another agency become custodian? |
| Holds and case number | What other process may affect the result? |
No current flat local fee is verified. Ask for electronic copies and a cost estimate. A county document from 2019 lists old amounts, but it is stale and does not establish today’s sheriff charges.
Martin County Jail Contact Details
The active facility and Sheriff operate from the same law-enforcement center. Office hours are not a published release schedule. No official source states the jail’s release hours, exit door, waiting area, weekend practice, property procedure, transportation arrangement, or time needed to process a person out.

About Martin County Jail
This is a county pretrial and short-term jail operated by the Martin County Sheriff. It is the verified local booking and custody channel for Martin County. Stanton Police is an arresting agency, but no separate municipal jail or release list was verified. An incident report may remain with Stanton Police while the booking and custody-ending event belong to the Sheriff.
No TDCJ prison, federal prison, or identified ICE detention center was found physically in Martin County. Those systems still matter when a transfer occurs. A person sentenced and admitted to TDCJ becomes searchable through the state offender system. A federal transfer may later appear in BOP, and a credible immigration handoff may be checked in ICE ODLS subject to its limits.
Arrest and booking do not establish guilt. Match common names with identifiers, and use the court file to understand the legal disposition.
Match Martin Jail and Court Records
The Martin County Clerk also serves as District Clerk for the 118th District Court. That combined office is the local route for county-level and district-level case files. It is at 301 N. St. Peter Street, Stanton, with telephone 432-756-3412. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with the office open during lunch.
Look for the cause number, charge, bond order, dismissal, plea, judgment, sentence, jail credit, community supervision, revocation, and termination. The jail record can establish a physical custody timestamp without explaining the final outcome. The judgment can establish the sentence or order without recording the moment a person left the building. A sound conclusion reconciles both.
Which Martin County Jail Is Active?
The Old Martin County Jail at 300 St. Joseph Street is a historic landmark, not an operating detention facility. According to the Texas Historical Commission record, cells retained from the 1885 courthouse were incorporated into a rock jail built in 1908. The structure later served as a library and museum.
Current custody, release, records, and visitation questions belong at the Dan Saunders Law Enforcement Center on Interstate 20. Sending a request or visitor to the old address would confuse local history with the active sheriff facility. The distinction is especially important in older directories, photographs, or search results that mention the Old Jail without explaining its present role.
Trace Martin County Jail Transfers
A transfer record should name the receiving custodian when disclosure is allowed. For TDCJ, search with a TDCJ or SID number when possible, then corroborate a name with birth, conviction county, and offense. TDCJ updates on working days, and its data is at least 24 hours old. A projected release date is a forecast, not proof that the person left custody.
BOP’s locator applies to federal custody. ICE ODLS can cover current detainees and some people released from ICE within a limited period. USMS has no comparable public released-person locator. Another county transfer must be checked with that county’s jail. Each source speaks only for its own custody.
