Austin custody: identify the responsible operator
The Austin directory includes different operators and juvenile records. A city listing is not a current count of adult county jails.
JAIL411 / LOCAL ORIENTATION ·
Adult county facilities with one shared researched guide
| Facility and guide | Street address | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| Travis County Jail / Central Booking Facility (TCJ) → | 500 W. 10th Street, Austin, TX 78701 | 512-854-4180 |
| Travis County Correctional Complex (TCCC) → | 3614 Bill Price Road, Del Valle, TX 78617 | 512-854-9889 |
All on-site video visits for TCJ and TCCC are administered at TCCC in Del Valle. Personal mail and property use the confirmed housing facility; downtown bond/court business has separate counters. TDCJ Travis Unit at 8101 FM 969 is a separate Texas state facility, not CDCR and not a county jail. Gardner Betts juvenile records, city police, federal/immigration custody and other state facilities do not inherit this guide. Dated population/capacity figures and the older inventory remain source records, not live counts.

Clear information.
Clear boundaries.
Jail411 is an independent information resource for families and friends. We are not a government agency, jail operator, law firm or live custody-records service.
Can Jail411 tell me if someone is in custody right now?
No. Jail411 does not hold live custody records. Use the official locator for the county, state, federal or ICE system that has the person; start here if you do not know which.
Does posting bond mean the person comes home?
Not always. A probation or parole hold, another county's warrant or an immigration detainer can keep someone in custody after bond is posted. Ask the jail what holds are on the booking before you pay.
What should I confirm before visiting?
The person's current facility, the visiting schedule, approval requirements, accepted identification and arrival instructions. Check the facility page and its official sources before you travel.
What if I find something that needs correcting?
Send us the page and the detail that needs attention. Include the official source when you have one. Do not send private booking documents or other sensitive personal information.
