Travis County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or obtain an official booking record. For those services, use the public office or locator responsible for the record.
Official Travis County Contacts
For a Travis County jail, booking, or incarceration-record question, start with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office. The contact card below distinguishes the records product from the jail-information lines so a caller can reach the office that matches the question.
Travis County Sheriff’s Office, Central Records
5555 Airport Blvd.
Austin, TX 78751
Central Records: 512-854-9749
Central Warrants: 512-854-9751
For the specific incarceration-record product, in-person pickup is Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding county holidays. The listed $15 fee applies to that product only and is payable by exact cash, check, or money order to TCSO. A booking-photo or report request can have a different records route or fee.
Jail information is listed by official TCSO pages as 512-854-9889 on the contact page and 512-854-4180 on arrest-booking and facilities pages. The two numbers appear in different official source contexts, so confirm the active option when calling.
Use the record custodian that created the document. An Austin, Pflugerville, or Lakeway arrest can enter Travis County booking, while the city agency may still hold the report or need to authorize a photograph request.
- For current county custody, begin with the official route explained on the Travis County records hub, then verify the result with TCSO.
- For a prior incarceration record, use Central Records and describe the person, date range, and requested existing record.
- For a booking photo or report, use the sheriff’s Open Records process or the arresting agency’s public-information route. TCSO may need another agency’s authorization when it did not make the arrest.
- For a Travis County warrant question, use Central Warrants at 512-854-9751 or the official warrant-check material on Most Wanted Fugitives. Seek lawful court or attorney guidance for resolution.
- For Austin, Pflugerville, or Lakeway police material, submit a targeted request through that city’s police records route rather than assuming the county has every responsive document.
- For a person in Texas state-prison custody, use the official TDCJ offender locator. It is not a Travis County booking search.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator; for immigration detention, use the official ICE Online Detainee Locator. Each covers a separate custody system.
