Angelina County Released Inmates
A person stops appearing on the Angelina County jail roster when that active entry is removed. The change may reflect bond, time served, dismissal, sentence completion, probation, or another community release. It may instead reflect transfer to TDCJ, another county, USMS, BOP, ICE, a hospital, or a treatment setting. Transfer ends the local jail stay without ending custody.
The sheriff holds the county jail register and booking-out documents. A court holds the order, judgment, or docket event that supplied legal authority. TDCJ controls prison status and discharge data. Federal agencies control their own records. The strongest answer pairs the physical release or transfer entry with the legal and receiving-agency records.
- Release
- Departure from physical custody, though court duties or supervision may remain.
- Discharge
- The end of a sentence or supervision obligation.
- Time served
- A sentence satisfied by credited confinement.
- Detainer
- A hold from another authority that can block community release or cause transfer.
Angelina County Release Types
The release type determines where the next reliable record appears. A bond event can end confinement without ending the case. A probation judgment places the person under local community supervision. Parole and mandatory supervision follow TDCJ custody. Dismissal of one charge may not defeat another hold.
| Type | Meaning | Next record |
|---|---|---|
| Cash, surety, or personal bond | Release pending the case, if no other hold remains. | Sheriff booking-out entry and Odyssey bond docket. |
| Time served or sentence complete | Jail sentence ends through elapsed or credited time. | Release record, judgment, and sentence credit. |
| Dismissal or court order | A court removes or changes legal authority. | Court disposition plus sheriff exit record. |
| Probation | Court-ordered community supervision, sometimes without state prison. | Judgment and Angelina CSCD. |
| Parole or mandatory supervision | Conditional TDCJ release under state supervision. | TDCJ status, IVSS, and Parole Division. |
| Transfer | Custody moves to another jail or agency. | Destination field and receiving custodian. |
Angelina County Release Record Fields
The live roster does not publish a release field. Request the permanent jail-register entry and supporting papers for the exact booking. The complete inventory below separates identity, custody movement, legal authority, and property documentation.
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Booked name and aliases | Identity used for the jail episode. |
| SO or booking number | Local identifier tying the documents together. |
| Admission date and time | Start of county custody. |
| Booking agency | Agency that brought the person to jail. |
| Charges and degree | Recorded bases for the booking, not proof of conviction. |
| Bond and holds | Bond terms and other authority that could delay release. |
| Release or transfer date and time | The accomplished end of this jail stay. |
| Release type or disposition | Recorded reason or authority for departure. |
| Receiving agency or destination | Distinguishes community release from continued custody. |
| Days confined and sentence credit | Time recorded for the episode where maintained. |
| Property inventory or receipt | Documents property handled at intake and release. |
| Booking photographs | Front and right identification images when maintained. |
A court judgment can explain why release became lawful, but it does not necessarily give the physical exit time. The sheriff record answers that event. When another county owns the case, its docket may control the order even though Angelina physically housed the person.
How Angelina Bond Release Works
The Angelina County Bail Bond Board publishes licensed companies and local rules. A local rule says a surety may not present a bond to the sheriff unless the defendant or someone acting for that person first contacted the surety. This local step is distinct from the court case.
Bond execution ends the jail episode only after processing finishes and no other charge, warrant, or hold prevents departure. Preserve the booking-out record. Then follow Odyssey because bond does not mean dismissal, acquittal, or final disposition.
Request Angelina County Release Records
Angelina accepts written requests by portal, mail, or in person. The county portal is preferred because it logs and routes the request. Ask for existing records rather than questions or a new report.
- Select the Sheriff as recipient.
- Provide the full booked name, booking number if known, and approximate admission date.
- Request the jail-register entry, booking sheet, booking-out sheet, release or transfer order, property receipt, and booking photographs.
- Specify the release or transfer date, time, type, destination, charges, and holds as existing fields sought.
- Request electronic delivery, accept a public redacted version if suitable, and ask for an advance cost estimate.
P.O. Box 114

Records: 936-639-8762
In person: 2311 E. Lufkin Ave., Lufkin
No sheriff release-record fee or promised completion time was found. Charges may follow state cost rules. The Public Information Act requires prompt production within a reasonable time, not automatic delivery in ten business days.
Angelina Electronic Request Rules
The county open-records instructions impose strict electronic rules. A designated email must receive the request, the subject must read “Public Information Request,” the message must fit one typed page, and no attachment is allowed except the official form. The sheriff does not have a dedicated email on that page, so the portal, mail, or in-person path is safer than ordinary staff email.
The portal asks whether a redacted public version is acceptable. Choosing that option can help define the requested form without waiving access that law provides. Court-case copies must go to the proper clerk, not the sheriff request portal. A request sent through the wrong ordinary address may not count as submitted.
Angelina Release Record Laws
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs existing public information held by local and state bodies, subject to exceptions. Sheriff jail and photo records differ from judicial records, which follow court access rules. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, private, and active law-enforcement information may be withheld or redacted.
The state retention schedule classifies the jail register containing release or transfer data as permanent. Prisoner incarceration files, including booking-out and release orders, are retained for release or transfer plus two years. Property records share a two-year post-release period, while bail bonds have a three-year period. Retention does not mean every field must be online.
Expunction under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A and nondisclosure under Government Code Chapter 411 are fact-specific. Release, bond, or dismissal alone does not guarantee either remedy.
Which Angelina Court Explains Release?
Odyssey Public Access places criminal case, jail, jail-bond, and law-enforcement searches on one landing page. County Courts at Law 1 and 2 handle misdemeanors, with the County Clerk supporting those records. The 159th and 217th District Courts handle felonies, with the District Clerk as custodian. Justice and municipal courts handle fine-only Class C matters.
Search the criminal case first, then compare jail and bond entries. Look for cause number, court, charge, bond event, plea, dismissal, judgment, jail credit, commitment, revocation, and disposition. One dismissal is not proof that all custody authority ended. Pair the court result with the sheriff release or transfer time.
Who Controls an Angelina Release?
Angelina completed a nearly $14 million expansion adding 225 beds in 2026 and later made housing agreements with four surrounding counties. That changes the meaning of an “Angelina inmate.” Physical housing may be local while another county owns the prosecution and release authority. The older county page's 279-person capacity is legacy text, not a safe current total.
Check the jail register for the movement event and destination. Then check the originating county docket for the bond, sentence, or transfer authority. Local housing does not make every person an Angelina County defendant.
Find Angelina County Released Inmates
Begin with the last confirmed custodian. Do not begin with a broad name result and assume it covers every system. A released person normally leaves the current roster, which makes that page a starting clue rather than a historical search.
- Search the current Angelina roster for ongoing county custody.
- Use the jail register, booking-out sheet, and release or transfer order when the name is gone.
- Compare Odyssey court, jail, and bond categories for legal authority.
- Search TDCJ when the destination is state prison or the person has a Texas prison history.
- Check VINE or IVSS for timely custody and supervision events.
- Use BOP, ICE, or USMS channels only when the transfer record points to federal or immigration custody.
The 24-Hour Release List and 72-Hour Release List explain date-window requests because Angelina publishes no official recent-release feed.
TDCJ Angelina Released Inmate Search
The TDCJ Online Inmate Search covers state prison records, not an ordinary county-jail bond release. A result can show current status, location, projected release date, maximum sentence date, parole eligibility, and parole review information. Actual release or discharge must be distinguished from a projected date.
| Search field | Use |
|---|---|
| Last name | Required for a name search; use the booked spelling. |
| First name | Narrows common surnames. |
| TDCJ number | Seven-digit state identifier and strongest match when known. |
| State ID | Texas SID used across criminal justice records. |
| Sex | Optional filter for identity matching. |
| Race | Optional filter, not a unique identifier. |
TDCJ also offers telephone and email channels. For email information, include the full name and TDCJ number, or exact date of birth, approximate age, and county of conviction. Ask specifically for actual release or discharge date and status.
The official search form below shows the state fields used after an Angelina-to-TDCJ transfer.

The state search complements the sheriff record; it does not replace proof of the county transfer.
Angelina County Recent Release Search
The sheriff publishes no verified 24-hour or 72-hour release feed. Its roster shows names, sex, height, weight, eye and hair color, and booking date for current entries. Detail may add booking photographs, days confined, charges, bond, holds, and IVSS. It has no release date, time, reason, or destination.
An old detail URL can become a blank shell. The durable archive is the permanent jail register, not a guessed query string or saved page. Call the jail at 936-634-2724 for a current operational answer, then preserve documentary proof through a focused request.
Angelina Supervision After Release
Parole is conditional release from TDCJ. Mandatory supervision is another state supervised-release path. Probation, called community supervision in Texas, is ordered by a court and may occur without state prison. Verify the judgment first.
Angelina parole cases route to the Nacogdoches District Parole Office. Local probation routes to Angelina County CSCD. No official public person-by-person supervision directory was found. Use the Parole & Probation process and agency contacts for a specific status question.
Angelina Release Notification Search
VINELink is the county-custody notification route. Search Texas by name or agency ID, open the correct record, and select the available notification control. A released or out-of-custody event is timely notice, not a permanent ledger. Confirm it with the jail register.
TDCJ IVSS covers prison, parole, mandatory supervision, discharge, and certain warrant events. It accepts name, SID, current TDCJ number, or prior TDCJ number. A county-to-TDCJ transfer moves the useful notification layer from VINE to IVSS without proving community release.
Federal Angelina Release Searches
The BOP Inmate Locator covers federal inmates from 1982 forward and can show release date and location. ICE's locator accepts an A-number or exact biographical data and may include people released from ICE custody within a limited recent period. USMS offers no comparable public historical name locator.
Identify the receiving agency in the Angelina transfer record first. A BOP release does not prove that state, county, immigration, or supervised-release obligations ended. No federal or ICE detention center was verified inside Angelina County; these are transfer routes.
Getting Home After Angelina Release
Brazos Transit publishes Lufkin routes, and demand-response service is subject to availability and rules. No official source identifies a jail stop, promised release pickup, or jail-arranged ride. A route near E. Lufkin and Timberland is not a guaranteed release service.
Address-check and call 1-800-272-0039 or 936-639-2641 before relying on transit. The jail publishes no fixed release hours, exit point, waiting area, or family pickup procedure. Call before travel.
Angelina Custody Status Sources
Each system answers a different custody question. Use the source tied to the last custodian and the event being verified.
| System | Best use | What absence means |
|---|---|---|
| Angelina live roster | Current county custody. | Possible release or transfer, not proof. |
| Sheriff release record | County exit time, type, and destination. | Request may need better identifiers. |
| Odyssey | Bond, judgment, disposition, and case authority. | Wrong court or search category may apply. |
| TDCJ search and IVSS | State custody, projected and actual release, supervision. | Person may never have entered TDCJ. |
| BOP locator | Federal sentenced custody and release. | Does not clear other systems. |
| ICE locator | Current and limited recent immigration custody. | Weak historical proof after its window. |
Angelina County Custody Facilities
Six local or routing pages cover every verified custody path. Each has a different released-person record chain.
- Angelina County Detention Center: adult county jail; confirm release or transfer through sheriff records.
- Diboll Unit: TDCJ pre-release facility; confirm actual state release through TDCJ.
- Duncan Unit: TDCJ geriatric facility; distinguish discharge, supervision, hospital movement, and transfer.
- Angelina County Juvenile Detention Center: juvenile confidentiality rules apply, not adult search paths.
- Municipal Arrest Paths: Diboll, Huntington, and Lufkin arrests may move into county custody or remain with a local court.
- Federal & Immigration Custody: follow USMS, BOP, or ICE only after a documented transfer.
Diboll and Duncan are state prisons, not county-jail branches. A unit move is not release. Municipal arrest points are not verified adult release archives.
Keep the booked name, identifiers, dates, and each agency response together. That record chain makes later release, transfer, court, and supervision checks easier to reconcile.
