Schleicher County Jail Overview
Schleicher County Jail is operated by the Schleicher County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page lists the agency address, mailing address, telephone, fax, and staff groupings, including corrections and communications. Research found no separate county corrections department page and no separate Eldorado city jail page. The sheriff's office is therefore the practical local source for current custody, booking records, bond routing, jail records, and release-status questions.
The jail should be described as a county jail, not a city lockup, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center. TCJS treats Schleicher County as a reporting county jail with a rated capacity and monthly inmate-population rows. The population can include adult local pretrial and sentenced jail inmates, people held for court, people awaiting transfer, and occasional federal, contract, or housed-elsewhere categories when those are reported to TCJS.
Schleicher County Jail Population
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population spreadsheet reports Schleicher County Jail with 15 beds. The June 1, 2026 TCJS row listed 9 people, which equals 60.0% of that capacity. Research-derived averages from official monthly rows were 6.08 in 2024, 8.5 in 2025, and 9.0 for January through June 2026. The inspected rows did not show the jail over capacity.
| Measure | Figure | Source Note |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 15 beds | TCJS current population spreadsheet. |
| June 1, 2026 population | 9 | TCJS monthly total row. |
| 2025 monthly average | 8.5 | Average of TCJS monthly total-population rows. |
| 2026 Jan-Jun average | 9.0 | Average of TCJS rows for January through June. |
Who Schleicher County Jail Holds

Not all categories appear every month.

Lookup Inmates at Schleicher County Jail
No official online roster was located for Schleicher County Jail. Current inmate lookup therefore starts with the sheriff's office by phone or direct contact. A caller should have the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, booking date, and arresting agency. If a jail employee cannot release details by phone, ask how to request the booking sheet or custody record under the Texas Public Information Act.
- Call the jail at (325) 853-2737 and ask whether the person is currently in Schleicher County Jail custody.
- Provide full identifying details and ask for current status, bond, charge list, or release routing if releasable.
- If a written request is needed, ask for the preferred method and identify the exact booking record or photo needed.
- If the person is not held locally, check the clerk for filed court records, TDCJ for state prison custody, BOP for federal custody, or ICE ODLS for immigration custody.
The sheriff page is the official local contact page for jail lookup routing.
Because it does not publish a roster, the page is best used to verify phone, mailing, fax, and contact-form details before making a request.

Visit Schleicher County Jail
The official county sources did not publish a visitation schedule, video-visitation vendor, visitor ID rule, dress code, child-visitor rule, attorney-visit procedure, or holiday policy for Schleicher County Jail. The accurate local instruction is to call first. Do not assume that another Texas county's vendor, schedule, or dress rule applies in Eldorado.

| In-person public visitation | Not published on the official sheriff page located. | Call (325) 853-2737. |

| Attorney visitation | Not published. | Attorneys should contact the jail or court directly. |

Note: Confirm current custody and visit eligibility before driving to Eldorado because release, transfer, court transport, or lockdown can change access.
Schleicher County Jail Mail and Money
The sheriff page lists the mailing address as P.O. Box 1119, Eldorado, TX 76936, but it does not publish a full inmate-mail format. No official commissary vendor, deposit vendor, phone provider, remote video provider, kiosk instruction, tablet program, or fee schedule was located. Ask the jail for the exact mail format and deposit method before sending anything.
| Service | Provider or Detail | Research Result |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address | P.O. Box 1119, Eldorado, TX 76936 | Inmate-name and booking-number format not published. |

Booking at Schleicher County Jail
A local arrest can move to Schleicher County Jail for intake unless another agency assumes custody. Research did not locate a local booking manual, so the process should be described in general Texas county-jail terms. Intake commonly includes identity checks, warrant review, search and property inventory, fingerprints, booking photo, medical and mental-health screening, classification, and housing assignment when release does not occur quickly. The booking record is a jail record, while the court case record begins when charges are filed.
Bond questions should be confirmed with the jail because payment types, bond-window hours, and bond-posting procedures were not posted. Chapter 17 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure governs bail in Texas, and a detainer or no-bond hold can prevent release even when local bond appears available. For filed cases, the County/District Clerk can route case-number questions, but the clerk is not the jail's custody-status line.
Schleicher County Jail Records
Jail records to request may include a booking sheet, charge sheet, bond information, arresting agency, release date, custody status, and booking photograph if available and releasable. Use a narrow request under the Texas Public Information Act. Include the person's name, booking date or arrest date, date of birth if known, and case number if one exists.
A court case search is different. If the question is about formal charges, court dates, dismissed charges, amended charges, or disposition, contact the County/District Clerk or check re:SearchTX where records are available. If the question is about a state-prison sentence after transfer, use the TDCJ locator.
