Coryell County Sheriff's Office

The Coryell County Sheriff's Office is at 510 Leon St. in Gatesville, which is also where the county jail operates. The office handles all county-level law enforcement and manages the jail facility.

Coryell County is in central Texas, west of Waco and adjacent to Fort Cavazos, which was formerly known as Fort Hood. The county has a significant military population due to its proximity to the base. Gatesville is the county seat and the largest city.

All civilian arrests in the county go to the county jail.

For people transferred to state prison, records are in the TDCJ Offender Search. Also note that Coryell County is home to several state prison units operated by TDCJ in and around Gatesville. Those facilities are separate from the county jail and hold state-sentenced inmates.

Removing an Arrest Record in Coryell County

An arrest record in Coryell County stays on file unless a court orders it removed. Texas law allows expunction under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. You may qualify if the charges were dropped, you were acquitted, or the case was dismissed without a conviction. An approved expunction requires all agencies to destroy their copies of the record, including the booking photo.

File your petition with the district court in Coryell County. The court is in Gatesville. If the judge approves the expunction, the Sheriff's Office must destroy its records of that arrest. After an approved expunction, you can legally say in most situations that the arrest did not occur.

An order of nondisclosure seals a record from public view without destroying it. This may apply to some deferred adjudication cases. A Texas attorney can help you assess eligibility and file the right petition.
