Maverick County Inmate Population Overview
The official Maverick County inmate population count for the county jail comes from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports. TCJS treats Tom Bowles Detention Center as the county jail facility and reports rated capacity, daily population, legal status, gender categories, and selected contract categories. On June 1, 2026, the TCJS current population report listed Maverick County with a 250-bed capacity and a total jail population of 66. That count is not the same as every person physically detained in the county, because Eagle Pass Detention Facility is a separate USMS-client facility operated by GEO.
Custody authority matters. A person arrested on a local Maverick County charge may be booked into Tom Bowles Detention Center, released on bond, transferred to another county, held for TDCJ after sentencing, or held for a federal or immigration authority. Sheriff Tom Schmerber and the Maverick County Sheriff's Office are the local jail route. TDCJ, BOP, ICE, and VINELink each cover a different piece of the custody picture.
Maverick County Inmate Population Statistics
The strongest local data point is the June 1, 2026 TCJS row for Maverick County. It reported 66 people in the county jail against 250 rated beds, or 26.4 percent of capacity. The same reporting cycle listed a countywide population figure of 58,829 for the incarceration-rate file, with an ADP of 34 and rate of 0.58. Those figures should be read as official jail statistics, not as a live roster or a head count at the federal detention facility.

The TCJS population report landing page is the official source to recheck these spreadsheets. The report is useful when a user needs the size and makeup of the Maverick County inmate population rather than the status of one named person.
The TCJS source page shows the population-report spreadsheets used for Maverick County jail population review.
That state reporting source is separate from the local jail phone line and does not replace a custody check for a specific inmate.
Maverick County Jail Population Trends
Recent TCJS rate data shows a sharp decline in Maverick County ADP from selected 2024 rows to the June 2026 row. The rate spreadsheet listed ADP at 345 on June 1, 2024, then 129 on June 1, 2025, and 34 on June 1, 2026. The research did not locate an official county explanation for that change. The safest reading is to present the trend as reported data and avoid assigning a cause such as a policy change, contract shift, or reporting change.
| Date | ADP | Incarceration Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-01-01 | 300 | 5.19 | High level at the start of the selected trend. |
| 2024-06-01 | 345 | 5.97 | Peak among selected rows. |
| 2025-06-01 | 129 | 2.23 | Reported decline from 2024. |
| 2026-04-01 | 25 | 0.42 | Lowest visible recent selected row. |
| 2026-06-01 | 34 | 0.58 | Current extracted row. |
Maverick County Inmate Population Makeup
TCJS does not publish a full race or age profile in the Maverick County current row reviewed in official sources. It does report legal-status and gender categories. On June 1, 2026, the county jail row showed 32 local male pretrial felons, 3 local female pretrial felons, 19 contract male pretrial felons, and 3 contract female pretrial felons. It also listed 8 local male prisoners and 1 local female prisoner in a TDCJ-sentenced category, plus 22 contract inmates from other Texas counties.
- Local pretrial felony detainees were the largest visible local category in the June 2026 row.
- Contract pretrial detainees also appeared, which means the jail count is not only local Maverick County arrests.
- TDCJ-sentenced transfer categories show people who may be awaiting transfer after state sentencing.
- Race and age data were not found in the official TCJS row and should not be guessed.
Maverick County Jail Capacity
Tom Bowles Detention Center was well under its rated capacity in the June 1, 2026 TCJS current population report. The row listed 66 people in a 250-bed jail. That does not prove every housing area had open beds, because classification, gender separation, medical needs, security level, and contract-hold rules can affect where people can be placed. It does show that the countywide jail count was not over rated capacity in that snapshot.
No official DOJ consent decree, TCJS closure order, or county-published jail construction project was located in the research materials. County jail conditions and population data should be checked through TCJS and county records, while facility-specific questions about visits, mail, property, or release should go to the jail line.
Laws Governing Maverick County Inmates
Texas law controls how jail data, records requests, bond, and jail standards work. For Maverick County inmate population data, the local records process starts with the county's Open Records Request page. For jail standards, the state oversight body is TCJS. For bond, Chapter 17 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure controls the main release framework.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 gives the public a way to request government records unless an exception applies.
Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates TCJS and gives it jail standards and inspection authority.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 governs bail and bond decisions after arrest.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.139 covers custodial death reporting and investigation duties.
Search Maverick County Inmate Population
Maverick County did not publish an official searchable jail roster in the official sources reviewed. That makes the sheriff/jail phone line the first practical current-custody channel for Tom Bowles Detention Center. Call 830-773-2321 with the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, approximate arrest date, and arresting agency. If the jail cannot release details by phone, ask what can be requested through openrecords@co.maverick.tx.us.
A broader Maverick County inmate search may need more than one system. TDCJ covers current Texas state prisoners. BOP covers federal inmates from 1982 to present, usually after federal sentencing. ICE ODLS covers immigration detention when ICE has custody information. Texas VINE is useful for notifications, not a full booking-record database.
- Gather the full name, date of birth, arrest date, and any case, warrant, or booking number.
- Call the Maverick County Sheriff's Office and jail line at 830-773-2321 for Tom Bowles custody status.
- Ask whether the hold is local, out-of-county, TDCJ, USMS, ICE, or another agency.
- Use the county open-records email when a copy of a booking record is needed.
- Search TDCJ, BOP, ICE, re:SearchTX, or Texas VINE when the local jail is not the right system.
Maverick County Current Inmate Lookup
The county roster field table is short because no official Maverick County online roster was located. That absence is a local fact. A reader should not waste time looking for a county web form that official pages did not expose during research. Immediate questions about custody, bond routing, release status, or visitor planning should start with the jail phone line.
| Channel | Type | Best Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maverick County jail line | Phone | Current Tom Bowles custody | Call 830-773-2321. |
| Open records | Email request | Copies of releasable records | Use openrecords@co.maverick.tx.us. |
| TDCJ inmate search | Online locator | Sentenced state prisoners | Updated on working days and at least 24 hours old. |
| BOP inmate locator | Online locator | Federal post-sentence custody | Does not show public mugshots. |
| ICE ODLS | Online locator | Immigration custody | Requires JavaScript and specific identity data. |
Maverick County Inmate Record Fields
Because Maverick County did not publish a public roster profile layout, the county page should not claim that a web profile shows a mugshot, housing unit, or bond field. Those details may exist in the jail's internal booking record. If a copy is needed, request the specific record and include enough identifiers to help staff locate it.
| Field to Request | What It May Show |
|---|---|
| Name and aliases | Spelling, aliases, and identifying names tied to the booking. |
| Booking date and time | When the jail accepted the person after arrest or transfer. |
| Arresting agency | Sheriff, Eagle Pass police, DPS, federal agency, or another agency. |
| Booking charges | Initial allegations, which can differ from later court charges. |
| Bond or hold status | Cash, surety, personal bond, no bond, warrant, detainer, or transfer hold. |
| Mugshot or booking photo | Not confirmed online for Maverick County; request it if needed. |
Maverick County Jail vs Prison
Tom Bowles Detention Center and TDCJ are different systems. The county jail handles recent arrests, pretrial detention, short local sentences, holds, and some transfer categories. TDCJ handles people sentenced to Texas prison. Once a person moves to TDCJ, the Maverick County jail phone is no longer the main lookup point.
| County Jail | State Prison | Federal / ICE | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Recent arrests, pretrial detainees, local and transfer categories | Sentenced Texas prisoners | Federal pretrial, federal sentenced, or immigration detainees |
| Operator | Maverick County Sheriff's Office | Texas Department of Criminal Justice | USMS, BOP, ICE, or contract operator |
| Lookup route | Jail phone and open records | TDCJ inmate search | BOP locator or ICE ODLS |
Maverick County State Federal Search
The TDCJ official inmate search accepts last name and first initial, TDCJ number, or SID number. Optional filters include gender and race. TDCJ says its data covers current TDCJ incarcerated inmates, is updated on working days, and is at least 24 hours old. The TDCJ unit directory did not show a TDCJ unit in Maverick County in the reviewed material.
Federal and immigration custody need different tools. The BOP inmate locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present. The ICE Online Detainee Locator System can be searched by A-Number and country of birth or by biographical details. The Texas VINE portal is a notification route for custody status and release changes.
The TDCJ inmate-search page shows the state fields used for sentenced Texas prisoners from Maverick County after transfer.
Use that state search only after the custody question has moved beyond the Maverick County jail system.
Maverick County Detention Facilities
Two detention facilities matter for Maverick County inmate population searches. They are close in local geography but different in custody authority. A person at Tom Bowles is usually searched through county jail and records channels. A person at Eagle Pass Detention Facility may be tied to federal pretrial custody, BOP after sentencing, or ICE if immigration detention is involved.
- Tom Bowles Detention Center is the sheriff-operated county jail for local pretrial detainees, local sentenced categories, TDCJ transfer categories, and contract inmates.
- Eagle Pass Detention Facility is a GEO-operated USMS-client federal detention facility and is not covered by a county jail roster.
