Coke County Jail Mugshots and Booking Records

Coke County jail mugshots and booking records are kept by the Coke County Sheriff's Office in Robert Lee, Texas. This page explains where to find inmate information for this small West Texas county, how to request booking photos, and what state-level tools are available when local online search options do not exist.

Coke County Sheriff's Office

The Coke County Sheriff's Office in Robert Lee is the sole law enforcement agency serving this rural West Texas county. The sheriff manages the county jail, handles all arrests, and keeps the booking records for the county. Coke County has a very small population and is mostly ranch and oil country west of the Colorado River. Robert Lee is a tiny city that serves as the county government center.

There is no online inmate search for Coke County. If you need to check on someone currently in custody, call the sheriff's office directly at (325) 453-2717. Because the jail is small, staff can typically answer custody questions over the phone during business hours. For written records requests, the address is 13 E. 7th St. in Robert Lee. The office is at cokecountysheriff.com.

Coke County is part of the 51st Judicial District. The relatively low population means booking volume is modest, but the sheriff's office follows the same state requirements as larger Texas counties for record-keeping and public access.

Requesting Coke County Jail Mugshots

Jail booking photos from the Coke County Jail are public records. Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, gives any person the right to request records from a government agency. Mugshots and booking records fall under this law. You do not need a special reason or legal authority to ask for them.

Send your request in writing to the Coke County Sheriff's Office. Include the full name of the subject, their date of birth if possible, and the approximate date of arrest. Also state clearly what records you need: mugshot, booking sheet, or both. The office must respond within 10 business days. Fees for paper copies are about $0.10 per page and are regulated by state rules.

If the agency wants to withhold records, they need either a valid legal exception or a written opinion from the Texas Attorney General. Learn more about your rights at texasattorneygeneral.gov/open-government.
