Stonewall County Jail Mugshots
Stonewall County jail mugshots and arrest records are kept by the Stonewall County Sheriff's Office in Aspermont, Texas. Like all Texas counties, Stonewall County must follow the state's Public Information Act when handling records requests. This page explains how to find someone in custody, request booking photos, and use statewide resources when you need more data.
Stonewall County Overview
Stonewall County Sheriff's Office
The Stonewall County Sheriff's Office is the main law enforcement agency for the county. Based in Aspermont, the office runs the county jail and handles all bookings. Stonewall County is a small rural county in West Texas. Staff at the Sheriff's Office can assist with questions about current inmates, records requests, and jail procedures.
Because the county is small, it does not maintain a live online inmate search. Phone contact is the most direct way to find out if someone is in custody or to start a records request. The Sheriff's Office is generally the single point of contact for all jail-related records in the county.
In some cases, inmates may be housed at a neighboring county facility if local capacity or special needs require it. The Stonewall County Sheriff's Office would still hold responsibility for the booking records regardless of where the person is physically held.

Stonewall County Inmate Search
There is no public online inmate roster for Stonewall County. To check if someone is currently held at the county jail, call the Sheriff's Office at (325) 523-4461. Have the person's full legal name and date of birth ready. Staff can confirm custody status, charges, and bond amounts by phone.
For anyone who may have been moved to a state prison facility, use the TDCJ Offender Search. That free tool covers all Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities. For real-time custody alerts, sign up at VINELink.
The Texas DPS Crime Records Division offers statewide criminal history searches and is a useful resource when local jail records are limited.
Stonewall County Booking Photos and Records
Booking photos taken at the Stonewall County Jail are public records under Texas Government Code Chapter 552. The booking record includes the person's name, physical description, charges, date of arrest, and mugshot. All of this is available to the public through a formal request to the Sheriff's Office.
Small counties often maintain records in paper format or in older digital systems that are not publicly accessible online. This can slow down the retrieval process slightly, but the legal rights to access those records remain the same. The office must still respond to your request within 10 business days.
Records tied to active investigations may be withheld temporarily. If that happens, the office must tell you in writing why the records are being held and which legal exception applies.
How to Request Stonewall County Jail Records
Call the Stonewall County Sheriff's Office at (325) 523-4461 to ask about their current process for submitting Public Information Requests. Most small counties accept requests by mail or in person. When you write your request, include the full name of the subject, the date of the arrest, and the specific records you are asking for. The more detail you provide, the faster the office can locate the file.
The Texas Public Information Act gives you the right to receive responsive records within 10 business days. If the office cannot meet that deadline due to the volume or complexity of the request, they must notify you within the window and give a new expected completion date. Fees may apply for copying.
If your request is denied and you believe the denial is improper, you can request a ruling from the Texas Attorney General's Open Government Division at no cost to you.
Texas Statewide Jail and Arrest Resources
Several free state tools help when local access is limited. The TDCJ Offender Search finds people in Texas state prisons. The Texas DPS Crime Records Division handles certified background checks. VINELink tracks custody status across county jails and state prisons. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards inspects county facilities and posts reports online, including any compliance issues.
Removing an Arrest Record in Stonewall County
Texas allows people to clear arrest records in certain cases under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55. Expunction applies when charges were dropped, you were found not guilty, or you completed an approved diversion program. A successful expunction requires all agencies holding the records, including the Stonewall County Sheriff's Office, to destroy those records.
The petition is filed in the court that handled the case. An attorney can help assess your eligibility and prepare the filing. If full expunction does not apply, a nondisclosure order may limit who can access the record. That is a partial solution worth exploring if you do not meet the full expunction criteria.
