Andrews County Jail Overview
Andrews County Jail is operated by the Andrews County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page identifies Rusty Stewart as Sheriff and lists the main office phone as 432-523-5545. The county staff directory gives the Sheriff's Office physical address as 790 SE 401, Andrews, TX 79714, and the mailing address as 201 N. Main Street, Room 113, Andrews, TX 79714.
The jail is a local county detention facility, not a state prison. It holds people in local custody stages, including recent bookings, pretrial defendants, short county sentences, bench-warrant inmates, state-jail-felony defendants, and some TDCJ transfer or parole-related holds shown in state jail-population categories. No separate county annex, city jail roster, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center was located inside Andrews County in official checks.

The sheriff page should be the starting point for jail contact and records links because similarly named non-Texas sites can lead to the wrong county.
Andrews County Jail Population
Texas Commission on Jail Standards reports list Andrews County with a 147-bed jail capacity. In the June 2026 County Jail Population workbook, Andrews County had a total jail population of 56 on June 1, 2026. The June 2026 Incarceration Rate workbook listed a countywide population of 18,923, an average daily population of 69, and an incarceration rate of 3.65. These are facility-level public measures from TCJS reporting, not private estimates.
The latest researched point-in-time count was below rated capacity, about 38.1% capacity use. That measure does not describe every housing-unit constraint. Classification, gender separation, medical needs, holds, and security needs can still affect where a person may be housed inside the jail.
The state source for current jail figures is the TCJS population reports page.
Who Andrews County Jail Holds
The TCJS June 1, 2026 row shows that pretrial felony categories formed the largest visible part of the Andrews County Jail population. Local male pretrial felons were listed at 23, and local female pretrial felons were listed at 6. Smaller categories included Class A/B misdemeanor pretrial cases, convicted felons or parole violators sentenced to TDCJ divisions, pretrial state-jail-felony defendants, and state-jail-felony sentences.
- Recent arrestees - People booked after a local arrest while intake and first appearance are pending.
- Pretrial defendants - People whose cases have not yet ended in dismissal, plea, trial, or sentence.
- County-sentenced inmates - People serving short local sentences under county jail authority.
- Bench-warrant inmates - People held on a court-issued warrant, often tied to failure to appear or another court order.
- Transfer or hold cases - People awaiting TDCJ transfer, parole action, another agency action, or other lawful custody steps.
Lookup Andrews County Jail Inmates
The correct lookup path for Andrews County Jail is the county-linked Tyler/Odyssey PublicAccess jail-records portal, followed by direct sheriff verification when the portal does not return a clear answer. The Sheriff's Office helpful-links area also lists the open-records request form and VINELink. Because the research environment could not view the portal's public fields, the safest instruction is to use the fields shown by the live browser session.
- Open the Sheriff Quick Links page and choose Search Jail Records.
- Use the fields displayed by the Tyler/Odyssey PublicAccess portal.
- Confirm the person is still held at Andrews County Jail before making plans for bond, mail, money, or visitation.
- If the portal is blocked or incomplete, call the jail information line at 432-523-5545.
- For older booking records, mugshots, or incident files, use the sheriff open-records form.

Visiting Andrews County Jail

Visitors should not borrow vendor names or schedules from other Texas counties. Call 432-523-5545 before arriving and ask about public entrance, identification, property limits, dress requirements, attorney visit handling, and whether the person is eligible for visits.

Call the jail before sending money or mail.

Booking at Andrews County Jail
The official sheriff pages reviewed did not publish a local intake manual. Texas county jail booking normally includes identity confirmation, warrant and case checks, property inventory, search, fingerprints, booking photo, medical and mental-health screening, classification, and housing assignment. The resulting jail record can connect to the Tyler/Odyssey portal, Sheriff's Office records, VINELink, and court filings.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 requires that an arrested person be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay. That hearing is where warnings and bail issues may be addressed. Booking charges and court charges are not always the same because the prosecutor may later file different charges, reject a case, amend a charge, or send a felony matter to a grand jury.
Andrews County Jail Conditions
Andrews County did not publish jail-program pages for GED, work release, substance-abuse treatment, medical requests, grievance forms, religious services, tablets, or reentry services. Program availability must be confirmed through the Sheriff's Office. TCJS population reports and the non-compliant jail list are the strongest public condition-related sources located during this research pass.
No official Andrews County jail construction, jail closure, consent decree, DOJ investigation, or death-in-custody notice was located in the official county material reviewed. The latest TCJS count showed the facility below rated capacity, but that is not the same as a full conditions review.
Note: Call Andrews County Jail before traveling because visitation, mail, property, and records-counter details were not published.
