Lookup Hood County Jail Inmates

Hood County Jail Overview

Hood County Jail is operated by the Hood County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Roger Deeds at the Hood County Law Enforcement Center in Granbury. The jail is the only officially located county detention facility identified for Hood County in the research. Local arrests by the sheriff's office and Granbury Police Department route here for jail intake. The facility is built for county custody, which means pretrial defendants, people waiting for bond or magistration, and some short local sentences may appear in Hood County Jail records.

The jail was built in 1995 and is listed by the sheriff's office as a 192-bed facility. The main entrance faces Crossland Street. Captain Eric Turbeville was appointed Jail Administrator in May 2019. The sheriff's office states that the jail has passed every Texas Commission on Jail Standards inspection since 2009 and is staffed by certified TCOLE jailers, clerical staff, and medical staff.

The Hood County Sheriff's Office jail overview page identifies the facility, address, capacity, and jail command context.

That official jail overview is the best facility-specific source for the local jail's role and basic operating facts.

Hood County Jail Population

Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reporting gives a current snapshot for Hood County Jail. The June 1, 2026 TCJS report lists a rated capacity of 192 beds, a jail population of 164, and 85.4 percent capacity use. Recent TCJS snapshots in the research show no federal inmates and no Hood County inmates housed elsewhere in those reports.

The trend shows Hood County Jail staying below rated capacity in each listed monthly snapshot, with the highest listed point at 184 people on July 1, 2025. A daily roster entry and a monthly TCJS population count serve different jobs: the roster identifies current people, while the TCJS report shows facility load.

Find Hood County Jail Inmates

Hood County Jail uses the county's public bond and inmate listing for current local custody. The listing is free and does not require a login, but it is not a search-form product. The table has name, race, sex, and book date fields. A row can be opened for a booking profile with a photo when available, arrest and booking details, and the offense and bond table.

1. Open the Hood County bond and inmate listing.
2. Use browser find to search the person's last name in the visible table.
3. Compare the name, race, sex, and book date before opening a row.
4. Open the profile for arrest date, booking date, offenses, warrant fields, class, and bond amounts.
5. Call the jail at 817-579-3333 if the person may have just arrived, bonded out, or transferred.

A sentenced state inmate is searched through the TDCJ inmate search, not through the Hood County Jail roster. Federal custody belongs in the BOP inmate locator when the person is in BOP custody. Immigration custody can be checked through ICE ODLS or Texas VINELink. For more roster detail, use the Hood County jail inmate records page.

Hood County Jail Contact

The jail phone line is the best direct contact for immediate facility questions, including whether a person is still in custody, whether a visit should be scheduled, or whether a bond question should be routed through a bondsman. Public information requests for sheriff's office records use a separate email and mailing address. Civil or other county records route to Hood County's general PIA channel rather than the jail line.

For civil or other county public information requests, Hood County lists PIA@hoodcounty.texas.gov, phone 817-408-3450, fax 817-408-3452, and Hood County Annex I at 1410 W. Pearl St. in Granbury.

Hood County Jail Visitation

Hood County Jail visitation is scheduled through GTL VisitMe. The posted schedule separates male and female visitation blocks. A visit should be planned only after the visitor confirms that the inmate remains at Hood County Jail and that no restriction, court movement, housing change, or medical issue affects the visit. The posted research did not capture mail rules, so mail details should be verified directly with the jail before sending items.

The Hood County Jail visitation page links visitors to the scheduling system and posts the day and time blocks.

The schedule is useful for planning, but the jail line remains the safer check before travel when a custody status has recently changed.

Hood County Jail Money

Hood County Jail commissary has its own schedule and deposit routes. The sheriff's commissary page lists forms available Wednesday at 10:00 am, pickup Wednesday at 1:00 pm, and delivery Friday. Deposits can be made at the TouchPay kiosk in the jail lobby, online through TouchPayDirect.com, or by phone at 1-866-232-1899. Hood County's posted TouchPay site number is 776048.

The Hood County Jail commissary page posts the form timing and TouchPay deposit options.

Because deposits can follow a person only while they are in the right custody account, the roster or jail line should be checked before adding funds.

Hood County Jail Bonds

Bond is the release condition set in a criminal case, while a fine is a payment owed after a fine has been assessed. Hood County states that bonds can be posted 24/7 and must be posted by a Hood County bondsman. Fines can be paid 24/7, but the form of payment depends on the type of fine. Hood County fines require the exact amount by cashier's check or money order payable to Hood County. Granbury City fines require exact cash.

A bond amount on the inmate profile should be read as case and release information, not as a complete instruction to pay. The sheriff's posted bond and fine page should be checked before anyone brings funds to the facility.

Hood County Jail Intake

Hood County Jail intake follows the normal county jail path after an arrest. The person is identified, booked, photographed, fingerprinted, screened for property and medical needs, reviewed for classification, and held for bond, magistration, housing, or release. Classification is the jail's internal process for safe placement. It is not the same thing as a charge, conviction, sentence, or court ruling.

Magistration is the first appearance stage where warnings, bond, and early court issues may be addressed. Hood County has a magistration livestream page, but there is no fixed public hour in the research. The stream starts when magistrations are in session and can pause when the proceeding is not active. Court records after a jail arrest may appear later in the Tyler court portal after a case is filed.

Hood County Jail Boundaries

Hood County Jail should not be confused with state, federal, or immigration custody. The research found no TDCJ prison, BOP facility, ICE facility, regional jail, or work-release facility officially located in Hood County. Once a person is sentenced to state prison and transferred, TDCJ becomes the correct locator. If a person is in federal custody, the BOP locator or U.S. Marshals context may matter. Immigration detention is searched through ICE ODLS and can also be monitored through VINELink where supported.
