Brooks County Jail Overview

Brooks County Jail is operated by the Brooks County Sheriff's Office. The District Clerk's expunction agency list identifies the jail address as 801 CR 201, Falfurrias, Texas 78355. The sheriff administrative page lists Sheriff Urbino "Benny" Martinez at 701 E. Rice St., P.O. Box 558, Falfurrias, Texas 78355, with phone (361) 325-3696 x 503 and fax (361) 325-1743.

The jail is the local facility for Brooks County pretrial detainees, misdemeanor and felony defendants, sentenced county jail inmates, and holds pending transfer. It should not be confused with Brooks County Detention Center at 901 County Road 201, which is a much larger GEO-operated facility tied to U.S. Marshals Service client custody. Both addresses are near the same law-enforcement area, so the distinction is practical, not just technical.

Brooks County does not publish a jail tour, pod chart, visitor lobby page, or construction narrative in the inspected county materials. That makes the sheriff staff page, District Clerk expunction list, and TCJS population spreadsheets the key official sources for this jail. Use those sources together: the sheriff page identifies command and jail contacts, the District Clerk list confirms the jail address, and TCJS supplies facility capacity and population data.

Brooks County Jail Population

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards June 2026 population report lists the Brooks County Jail row with capacity 36 and total jail population 27 on June 1, 2026. That was 75.0% of listed capacity. The visible nonzero categories were local pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants, local pretrial felons, and local other custody, with no federal inmates in the local jail row.

Look Up Brooks County Jail Inmates

No official Texas-specific Brooks County Jail online roster was located. The jail lookup path starts with the sheriff or jail line and then branches to court, state, federal, or ICE systems depending on what staff says about custody. Use the Brooks County jail inmate records page for the broader lookup chain.

1. Call (361) 325-3696 x 503 with the person's full legal name, date of birth, arrest date, and case number if known.
2. Ask whether the person is in Brooks County Jail, released, transferred, or held by another agency.
3. Search the Brooks County e-services portal after a criminal case has been filed.
4. Use TDCJ, BOP, or ICE only if the person moved into those systems.

For recent arrests, the court case may not appear yet. For older bookings, a written Texas Public Information Act request may be needed.

When asking for records, separate custody questions from document-copy questions. A phone call may answer whether a person is currently held, released, or transferred. A written request is better for a booking sheet, jail log entry, booking photograph, or release record because staff can route the request through the county's public-information process and apply any Texas law exceptions.

Brooks County Jail Contact

The jail-specific record path is phone-forward because no online roster, booking desk page, or jail records unit schedule was located. The sheriff page lists jail supervisors Lamar Villarreal and Daniel Duarte, a jail lieutenant identified as Olivarez, and jail-related phone entries under the sheriff main number.

Visit Brooks County Jail

Brooks County did not publish a jail visitation schedule, visitor approval process, video visitation vendor, dress code, attorney visit hours, or visitor-property list in the inspected official materials. A visitor should call the jail before leaving for County Road 201, confirm the person is still housed there, and ask about ID, approved list rules, visitor entrance, parking, and items that cannot be brought inside.

Brooks County Jail Mail and Money

No Brooks County Jail mail policy, commissary vendor, deposit fee schedule, phone vendor, or video vendor was located in the official county materials. Mail should not be sent until the jail confirms the person is housed there and gives the current format. Research supports using inmate name, Brooks County Jail, 801 CR 201, Falfurrias, TX 78355 as the basic address format, but contraband, photos, books, packages, and money rules must be confirmed directly.

Brooks County Jail Booking

Brooks County does not publish a detailed booking-process page. General Texas jail intake includes identity checks, warrants, property inventory, search, fingerprints, booking photograph, medical screening, classification, and housing assignment. Bond and first appearance are governed by Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17. A booking charge is not the same as the prosecutor-filed court charge.

Call the jail if a person was just arrested and does not yet appear in court records. Once the case is filed, use county e-services or the clerk offices to track charge status. If the person is sentenced to TDCJ, moved to federal custody, or held under immigration authority, the Brooks County Jail will no longer be the only lookup path.

Brooks County Jail Source

The Brooks County Sheriff's Office staff page is the strongest official local source for jail contact routing and sheriff information.

The page matters because Brooks County did not publish a separate jail roster or detailed jail public-counter page in the located official materials.
