Mason County Jail Roster Search
Mason County uses the Kologik Public Jail Roster for public jail roster access. The confirmed Mason roster uses ORI TX1600000, and the Kologik agency-name endpoint identifies it as Mason County Sheriffs Office. That ORI check matters because Kologik pages are agency driven. A wrong or nearby ORI can lead to another county's roster. The Mason roster is free and does not require a login for basic browsing.
The local roster is a current custody tool. It is best for recent arrests, local pretrial custody, short-term county jail holds, and people waiting on release, court, transfer, or placement elsewhere. On June 30, 2026, the Mason current roster API returned an empty array, so no public current inmates were visible at inspection. That finding fits the county's small detention footprint, but it should not be read as proof that no one is in custody at a later time.
The county jail roster does not replace TDCJ, BOP, ICE, the clerks, or sheriff dispatch. Mason County's official sheriff page links VINELink for custody status and release notice. Current custody questions can also be routed through the Mason County Sheriff's Office. Records not shown online can be requested through the county's public information request form.
The roster screen shown in the local research comes from the official Kologik roster. The Mason Kologik roster should show Mason County Sheriffs Office at the top before any name search is trusted.
Because the roster may be empty, the best Mason County inmate records workflow pairs the online screen with dispatch, VINELink, and a records request when a current or past booking is not visible.
Use the Mason County Jail Roster
The Kologik roster has a simple public interface, but Mason's very small jail count makes the fallback steps important. Start by confirming the roster header, then search by the controls that Kologik makes available. If no card appears, do not assume the person was never arrested. A new booking may not be posted yet, a person may have been released, or a Mason inmate may be housed elsewhere in Texas.
- Open the Mason County Kologik roster and confirm the page identifies Mason County Sheriffs Office.
- Use RECENT BOOKINGS for new entries, ALL for the full visible list, or A through Z buttons to browse by last name.
- Type into Name Filter to narrow visible cards by first, middle, or last name after roster data loads.
- Use Order By to sort by shortest or longest days in jail if more than one record is present.
- Read each visible roster card for arrest time, days jailed, charge, warrant number, bond, arresting agency, and photo if available.
- If the Mason roster is empty, call the sheriff's office or dispatch and ask whether the person was released, transferred, or housed elsewhere.
- For sentenced state, federal, or immigration custody, move to TDCJ, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINELink instead of staying on the county roster.
Mason County Roster Search Fields
Kologik does not work like a large court portal with many required fields. It loads roster cards, then filters or refreshes them with name, sort, history, and letter controls. Research showed that Mason's History control was not shown in the public interface because the Kologik history check returned N. The field table below reflects the Mason ORI and the public controls inspected for this county.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name Filter | Text input | Optional | Filters loaded cards by last, first, or middle name. No wildcard syntax was shown. |
| Order By | Dropdown | Optional | Blank, SHORTEST IN JAIL, or LONGEST IN JAIL. |
| History | Dropdown | Conditional or hidden | CURRENT, PAST 5 DAYS, and PAST 10 DAYS exist in Kologik, but Mason history mode was not shown at inspection. |
| Letter buttons | Button filters | Optional | RECENT BOOKINGS, ALL, and A through Z change the searchByLetter request. |
| Search button | None visible | Not applicable | The roster filters as users type or when a letter or history option is selected. |
Mason County Inmate Record Fields
The Mason roster was empty during research, so no live Mason inmate profile was available to quote. The public Kologik app code still shows the fields that can appear on a roster card. Treat the table as a Mason County Kologik field inventory, not a promise that each booking card will contain every item. Some values depend on agency settings, the booking stage, and whether a person has been released.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Last, first, middle, and suffix in uppercase if supplied. |
| Arrested | Arrest or arrival date and time from the Kologik arrest date field. |
| Days Jailed | A calculated count of time in jail, with the app adding the current day. |
| Race, Sex, DOB, Age | Basic demographic fields from the booking record. |
| Height, Weight, Eyes, Hair | Physical descriptors entered during intake. |
| Arresting Agency | The agency connected to the arrest or booking entry. |
| Photo | Kologik can call a Mason photo endpoint when photos are not hidden, but no live photo was available during inspection. |
| Charges | Charge code, charge text, comments when shown, warrant number, and bond amount. |
| Release Date | Release date and time can appear for released records, while charge details may be suppressed. |
Two roster terms need care. A charge on the jail roster is an alleged booking or custody charge, not a conviction. A bond field is a custody field that can change after magistrate review, prosecutor action, or a court order. A "No Bond" display can mean a warrant, hold, pending hearing, magistrate decision, or another legal reason.
When Mason County Records Are Empty
An empty Mason County jail roster is plausible because the jail is small and the public roster showed no current inmates on the inspection date. It is also incomplete as a search result. Mason County's TCJS reporting has shown one Mason inmate housed elsewhere in-state, and a person tied to a Mason case may not be physically in the five-bed Mason jail. The next step depends on the kind of custody question.
For a same-day custody check, call the sheriff's office at 325-347-6937 or dispatch at 325-347-5252. Dispatch is the practical after-hours channel listed by the sheriff page. In-person jail records and custody questions route through 205 Westmoreland Street in Mason. For older booking records, incident or offense reports, or a booking photo not shown in Kologik, use the Mason County public information request form and give the name, date, agency, and record type as clearly as possible.
Important: Absence from the Mason County roster is not proof that no warrant, hold, release, transfer, or out-of-county housing exists.
Mason County Custody Lookup Channels
County jail, state prison, federal custody, and immigration detention are separate systems. Mason County inmate records begin with Kologik only when the person is in local jail custody or close to that local booking stage. A sentenced state prisoner from Mason County is searched through the TDCJ inmate search. Federal sentenced inmates are searched through the BOP inmate locator. Immigration detainees are searched through ICE ODLS.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial or short-term jail custody | Kologik Mason County jail roster | Recent bookings, active jail cards, bond and warrant fields. |
| Current custody confirmation | Sheriff office, dispatch, or in person | When the roster is empty, delayed, or unclear. |
| Release notification | VINELink | Custody status alerts where the person is represented in the system. |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Texas Department of Criminal Justice | TDCJ number, SID, facility, sentence, projected release, and parole dates. |
| Federal prisoner | Federal Bureau of Prisons | Federal register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location or status. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | A-Number and country of birth, or biographic search fields. |
VINELink is a notification and custody-status channel, not a substitute for the official jail roster or the TDCJ profile. The Mason County Sheriff TX mobile app also exists on Apple's App Store and Google Play, but the store text reviewed described tips, crime reporting, and communication features. It did not promise an inmate search, warrant search, or booking-photo gallery.
Mason County Jail Facility
Mason County has one detention facility identified in official sources: the Mason County Jail, operated by the Mason County Sheriff's Office. It is a small county jail and local holding facility, not a regional jail, state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or separate city jail. People held there may include local pretrial detainees, short-sentence county inmates, and persons held until release, court, transfer, or housing elsewhere.

Mason County Booking and Bond
Mason County does not publish a local booking-process explainer, so the best record-based description combines Texas procedure with the Kologik fields. A typical arrest moves to the Mason County Sheriff's Office jail function for identity checks, search, property inventory, medical or mental-health screening, fingerprints, booking photo, charge entry, and jail management entry. Kologik separates booking time and arrest or arrival time in its data, and the public card can show the arrest time.
After booking, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 requires an arrested person to be brought before a magistrate without unnecessary delay, generally no later than 48 hours after arrest. The magistrate warning covers the accusation, right to counsel, right to remain silent, and bond conditions if bond is allowed. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 governs bail. The Mason roster can show per-charge bond amounts, but bond can change after review by the magistrate, prosecutor, or court.
- Booking
- Administrative entry into jail custody after arrest or surrender.
- PR bond
- Personal-recognizance release based on a promise to appear without a full cash deposit.
- Detainer
- A request from another agency to hold or notify before release.
- No bond
- A custody status where no bond is currently available or shown.
Mason County Jail Visitation Rules
No official Mason County page found during research published a jail visitation calendar, video visitation provider, visitor dress code, child visitor rule, or attorney visitation schedule. That gap should be preserved because small counties often handle jail visits by phone confirmation instead of a detailed public schedule. Call before traveling, especially if the roster is empty or the person may have been moved.
| Visit Issue | Mason County Official Finding | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| Public visitation schedule | Not located on the official county site | Call the sheriff office or dispatch before traveling. |
| Visitor ID rule | Not located | Ask what ID is needed before a visit is attempted. |
| Video visitation | Not located | Do not assume a video vendor is available. |
| Attorney visits | Not located | Attorneys should coordinate directly with sheriff or jail staff. |
| Child visitor rules | Not located | Confirm by phone because no local rule was posted. |
| Dress code | Not located | Ask before arrival and avoid bringing unnecessary items. |
Mason County Inmate Mail and Funds
Research did not locate an official Mason County inmate mail format, phone vendor, tablet program, commissary vendor, deposit kiosk, online money portal, or fee schedule. Do not borrow vendor rules from another Texas county. A mail or money mistake can delay delivery or cause a deposit problem, so the best local practice is to confirm custody, the person's booking name, and any required number before sending anything.
| Service | Official Mason Detail Found | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Jail mailing address | Sheriff mailing address: PO Box 391, Mason, TX 76856 | No inmate mail format found. Verify name and booking number requirements. |
| Physical jail address | 205 Westmoreland Street, Mason, TX 76856 | Use for in-person sheriff office contact. |
| Commissary | Not located | No vendor or fee schedule found. |
| Money deposit | Not located | No kiosk, online, or phone deposit provider found. |
| Phone calls | Not located | No pricing or provider found. |
| Tablets | Not located | No tablet program found. |
Note: Confirm custody and local mail rules with Mason County before sending funds, letters, photos, books, or other items.
Mason County Booking Records Request
Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, supplies the general request framework for Texas governmental records, subject to exceptions. For Mason County jail records not visible in the Kologik roster, use the county's public information request form. The request should identify the person, date range, record type, and agency. For example, ask for a booking sheet, jail record, incident report, offense report, or booking photo only when that is the record needed.
Some records may be withheld, redacted, or routed to a court clerk depending on the file. Juvenile details, sensitive law-enforcement information, privacy-protected data, criminal-history restrictions, and pending-investigation exceptions can affect release. Court charges after arrest belong with the County Clerk or District Clerk, while custody status belongs with the sheriff, dispatch, Kologik, VINELink, or the appropriate state or federal locator.
