Austin County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, arrange visitation, or retrieve an official booking record. Direct those questions to the government office that holds the specific record.
Official Austin County Record Contacts
The Austin County Sheriff’s Office is the first county contact for an Austin County Jail custody or booking question. The official jail page does not provide a public roster or instant booking search, so use the jail telephone route for a current-facility question and the records route for an existing record request.

- For current Austin County jail custody or the current facility, use the official ACSO jail page and call 979-865-5321. The jail page notes that female inmates may be temporarily housed at Fort Bend County.
- For an existing Austin County booking record or a releasable booking photograph, use the ACSO public-information route or its online request form. Give a full name, date range, agency, and known record number.
- For a Bellville PD incident record, use the Bellville Police Department and its public-information request form. For city police records elsewhere, use Sealy Police Department or Wallis Police Department rather than ACSO unless the request is for a county jail booking.
- For a misdemeanor or county-level court record, use the Austin County Clerk, Diane Day, at 265 N. Chesley Street, Suite 7, Bellville, TX 77418, 979-227-3144.
- For a felony indictment or district-court record, use the Austin County District Clerk, Sue Murphy, at 265 N. Chesley Street, Suite 1, Bellville, TX 77418, 979-270-6830.
- For a person already in Texas state-prison custody, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice offender search. It is not an Austin County booking feed and does not provide a public offender-photo route.
- For a federal inmate or a known immigration-detention matter, use the official BOP inmate locator or ICE detainee locator as applicable. Neither is an Austin County roster.
