The jail’s continuous operation does not mean records staff process public-information requests at all hours. The following routes direct common questions to the right official source.
- For a released person or release record, start with the full Medina County search and records process.
- For parole, mandatory supervision, or probation, use Post-Release Supervision.
- For a same-day window, use 24-Hour Releases; Medina County publishes no official recent-release feed.
- For a projected date or custody alert, use Release Date Lookup and VINE Inmate Check.
- For Medina misdemeanors, contact the County Clerk at 1300 Avenue M, Room 163, Hondo, 830-741-6040, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
- For Medina felony or district records, contact the District Clerk at 1300 Avenue M, Room 201, Hondo, 830-741-6070, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- For a TDCJ prisoner, use the statewide locator or call 936-295-6371 or 800-535-0283 during weekday information hours.
The County Clerk reports a $5 staff search per person, $1 per page, and certification at $5 plus $1 per page. Those court fees are not Sheriff booking-photo or release-record fees. No specific Sheriff charge was verified.
