San Augustine County Jail Mugshots
No official county-hosted San Augustine County jail roster, daily booking report, recent-bookings page, or mugshot gallery was found on the county website. The official San Augustine County Sheriff's Office page lists jail contact details and inmate communications information, but it does not display booking photographs. It also does not state how long a booking photo remains public after release. That means a San Augustine County mugshot search should not begin with an expectation of a county photo feed.
The safer record path is to treat a booking photo as a law-enforcement record that may be requested if it exists and is subject to release. First confirm custody or booking status with the sheriff's office or jail. Then ask whether the booking sheet and photograph can be released. If staff cannot provide the record informally, submit a Texas Public Information Act request that identifies the person, arrest date, arresting agency, and requested items. Current jail roster facts, when available by phone or request, are separate from court filings and case outcomes.
San Augustine County Booking Photo Inventory
The county's official website did not allow inspection of a current inmate profile, so no public online field list can be confirmed. The absence of an online roster is the main local fact. Do not assume that the county site displays photos, booking numbers, bonds, charges, court dates, or housing. Those items should be requested from the jail as existing records, not described as web fields.
| Field | County Website Status | Request Wording |
|---|---|---|
| Booking photo / mugshot | Not visible on an official county-hosted roster. | Ask for the booking photograph for the named person and arrest date. |
| Booking number | Not visible online in the county material inspected. | Ask whether a booking number exists for the arrest. |
| Booking date and time | Not visible online. | Request the booking sheet or jail log entry. |
| Charges or warrants | Not visible online. | Request listed intake charges and any warrant or hold information. |
| Bond or release status | Not visible online. | Ask for bond amount, bond type, release date, or active hold status. |
| Housing location | Not published by the county site. | Do not expect public release of detailed housing information. |
Request San Augustine County Booking Photos
The official sheriff page is the practical starting point because it gives the San Augustine County Jail / El Camino Justice Center contact path. The jail and sheriff's office are listed at 219 N Harrison, San Augustine, TX 75972, with phone 936-275-2424 and fax 936-275-5133. Jail Administrator Cheryl Procell and Captain Mike Price are named in the county material, which helps identify the detention side of the office. The page also confirms that the jail uses NCIC Inmate Communications, but NCIC is not a mugshot lookup system.
The screenshot below comes from the official San Augustine County Sheriff's Office page, the county source for jail contact and communications details.
Because no county mugshot gallery was found, this official contact page is the main local route for asking about a booking photograph.
- Call 936-275-2424 with the person's full legal name and date of birth if known. Ask whether the person is or was booked into the San Augustine County Jail.
- Ask whether a booking photograph or booking sheet can be released. Staff may direct you to submit the request in writing.
- Write a Texas Public Information Act request for the existing booking photograph, booking sheet, jail log entry, charges, bond, and release status for the named arrest.
- Send the request to the sheriff's office at 219 N Harrison, San Augustine, TX 75972, or by fax to 936-275-5133. Include the arrest date and arresting agency if known.
- If the person has moved out of county custody, check whether the case moved to court, TDCJ, federal custody, or immigration custody.
San Augustine County Mugshot Law
Texas law does not provide a single simple rule in the researched sources that says every county booking photo must be posted online. The useful local rule is the Texas Public Information Act. Texas Government Code §552.021 makes public information available during normal business hours unless an exception applies. Government Code §552.108(c) says basic information about an arrested person, an arrest, or a crime is not excepted by the law-enforcement exception, even when other law-enforcement information may be withheld.
Texas PIA callout: Request a San Augustine County booking photo as an existing law-enforcement record, but expect possible redactions for active investigations, juveniles, medical details, privacy interests, victim information, expunction, sealing, or court orders.
For state correctional custody, Government Code §552.029 applies to certain information about inmates confined in facilities operated by or under contract with TDCJ. That statute is more relevant after a person enters state custody. It does not create a San Augustine County photo gallery, and it does not replace a sheriff's office PIA request for a county booking record.
San Augustine County Photo Limits
A public booking record often centers on basic arrest information, but the exact release depends on the record and the exception claimed. For San Augustine County jail mugshots, the county site does not show a sample photo, angle, background, retention rule, or profile layout. A request should ask for the photo and basic booking data, then let the sheriff's office respond under Texas law. If the case is active, sensitive, juvenile-related, or affected by a court order, the response may be partial.
What is and isn't public: Basic arrest facts may be released, but an online photo gallery was not found. Investigative details, juvenile records, medical facts, victim information, sealed cases, and expunged records may be withheld or redacted.
San Augustine County vs Federal Photos
A San Augustine County booking photo is not the same thing as a prison profile photo or a federal locator record. The county jail holds local pretrial defendants, local misdemeanor and felony holds, bench-warrant prisoners, parole or blue-warrant holds, and people awaiting transfer. A person sentenced to the Texas prison system should be searched through the TDCJ Inmate Information Search. TDCJ records may include state offender profile information that differs from a county jail booking sheet.
Federal and immigration systems are different again. The Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator is for BOP custody and some federal custody history. It does not publish federal mugshots through the locator. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is a custody locator, not a mugshot gallery. No BOP or ICE detention facility was identified in San Augustine County, but a local arrest can still become a federal or immigration custody issue later.
Note: A person can leave the county jail before a photo request is answered, so check the court and custody system that matches the current status.
Booking Photos and Court Records
Booking photos do not prove guilt. They show that an intake photo was taken in connection with an arrest or booking. The court record answers a different question: whether charges were filed, changed, dismissed, or resolved. After a San Augustine County arrest, check court records after a jail arrest for the charging document, docket sheet, charge status, and final disposition. A dismissed charge may still have a booking record unless a later court order changes access to the record.
That distinction also matters for name searches. Two people can share a similar name, and a photo without a current court status can be misleading. Use the arrest date, booking date, court case number, and agency information to confirm the record. If current custody is the main question, start with San Augustine County jail inmate records and the jail phone line before chasing a photo.
Remove San Augustine County Mugshots
The county site does not publish a mugshot removal policy. If a San Augustine County charge is dismissed, sealed, expunged, or otherwise restricted, the record-clearing path starts with the court case, not a photo feed. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55 governs expunction eligibility and procedure. When a court signs an expunction or sealing order, the person should provide the order to agencies or offices that hold the record if the order requires or permits that step.
Commercial reposting and removal demands are separate from the county's public-record response. The official San Augustine County question is whether the sheriff, jail, clerk, or court has a record and whether Texas law allows public release. A private reposted image may be old, may lack current charge status, and may remain online even after custody changes. For official corrections, focus on the court order and the agency that created or maintains the original record.
San Augustine County Mugshot Request Wording
A focused request is easier to process than a broad demand for every record. Use plain language and ask for existing records. Include the person's full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, arresting agency, and the type of record sought. If the arresting agency was the City of San Augustine Police Department, include that fact and still ask the sheriff or jail whether the person was booked into county custody.
Sample request: "Under the Texas Public Information Act, please provide the booking photograph, booking sheet, charge list, bond entry, and release status for the named person, arrested or booked around the listed date by the listed agency, if those records exist and are subject to release."
