Guadalupe Adult Detention Overview

The Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center is operated by the Guadalupe County Sheriff's Office as the main county jail for local arrests and detention. The jail is at 2615 N. Guadalupe Street in Seguin, TX 78155, next door to the sheriff's office at 2617 N. Guadalupe Street. City police departments, sheriff's deputies, DPS troopers, constables, and other law-enforcement agencies may bring arrested adults to this jail when the person is booked into Guadalupe County custody.

The facility holds adults in several legal statuses. That includes pretrial detainees, sentenced county jail inmates, bench-warrant detainees, parole violators, TDCJ paper-ready inmates awaiting transfer, and other local holds. The jail is not a Texas state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center. Once a person is moved to TDCJ, BOP, or immigration custody, the county jail roster is no longer the best source for location and status.

The official Adult Detention Division page is the source for local jail operating details, including booking, bonds, mail, phone access, visitation, property, and the county's jailing information link. The page identifies the detention center as a 598-bed county facility staffed by 119 certified corrections officers.

The Adult Detention Division page shows the facility, visitation, booking, mail, and records context used by families and attorneys.

That official page is also the county source for the Tyler PublicAccess jailing link and for the rules that control visits, mail, inmate calls, property, and deposits.

Guadalupe Jail Population

Guadalupe County publishes both facility capacity details and statewide jail population figures. The county lists 598 beds at the Adult Detention Center, while the Texas Commission on Jail Standards June 2026 population files list Guadalupe County with a current jail population of 450 and an average daily population of 452. That June 2026 count put the jail at about 75.25 percent of rated capacity.

The jail's workload is larger than a single daily count suggests. County materials report about 8,000 bookings per year, about 3,600 inmate transfers to courts per year, and about 1,800 hot meals served daily. The June 2026 TCJS row included local misdemeanor and felony pretrial groups, bench warrants, parole violators, TDCJ-sentenced or paper-ready categories, state jail felony categories, and other local categories. The same row listed zero federal inmates.

Guadalupe Inmate Lookup

For current local jail custody, start with the official Tyler PublicAccess portal linked by the sheriff as Jailing Information/Jail Records Search. The same portal is also used by the county for judicial and criminal case searches. Automated inspection found human verification on the portal, so exact public field labels should be checked in a browser rather than assumed.

1. Open Tyler PublicAccess from the sheriff's Adult Detention or Records Search link.
2. Choose the jail or jailing information path when the portal opens.
3. Search by the person's booked name or other fields shown by the portal.
4. Confirm the record points to Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center, not a court-only result.
5. If the person is not listed, call jail records at (830) 303-6342 ext. 2239 or file a sheriff open-records request.

Victim custody notifications are handled through Texas IVSS Counties. IVSS is useful for major custody-status notices, but it does not replace the jail, the court, or the roster for record copies. After a sentenced person leaves county custody for prison, use the TDCJ Inmate Search instead of the county jail roster.

Guadalupe Detention Contact

Use the jail number for bond and detention questions. Use the sheriff's office number for general 24-hour routing. Records and background-check questions have a published jail extension, and public-information requests can also be made through the sheriff's open-records process.

Jail records and background checks are handled at (830) 303-6342 ext. 2239. Sheriff open-records requests may be made in the sheriff lobby Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., by mail using the sheriff form, or by email to so.openrecords@guadalupetx.gov. Property pickup runs 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays except county holidays.

Guadalupe Jail Visitation

Visitation at Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center is split by the first letter of the inmate's last name and by gender. Each inmate may receive two 30-minute visits per week, for a total of 60 minutes, but the jail does not allow one single 60-minute visit. Visitors need valid photo identification, must follow the conservative dress code, and may bring only ID and keys into the facility.

Sign-up begins 15 minutes before visitation and closes 45 minutes before the visiting period ends. Children 16 or younger must be with a responsible adult listed on the visitation card and may not be left unattended. The jail bars phones, cameras, bags, purses, diaper bags, food, and drinks from visits. A Shift Commander may approve special visits for immediate family traveling more than 100 miles from Seguin.

Guadalupe Mail Phone Money

Mail, phone, and money rules are vendor-specific at this jail. Privileged legal and official mail goes straight to the detention center. Non-privileged letters and photos are routed through ViaPath/TextBehind for scanning, staff review, and digital delivery to secure inmate tablets. The facility says it will not print scanned mail or photos for inmates.

Incoming mail needs the sender's full name and address. Inmate outgoing mail must include the inmate name, SO number, cell number, and detention center address. Books and magazines must come from publishers, while newspapers are subscription-only and may be disposed of if older than seven days.

Guadalupe Booking Process

Booking begins when a prisoner is brought to the Guadalupe County Adult Detention Center. Jail staff search the person, complete the arrest report, take fingerprints, and take the booking photograph. Processing time depends on how many prisoners are in intake and how cooperative each person is. The jail states that intoxicated or uncooperative prisoners are processed when the booking officer can do so safely, and prisoners are processed in order of arrival.

After booking, the person is placed in a holding cell pending magistration. Magistration is the first court appearance before a magistrate or judge. At that stage, the person is advised of rights and charges, and bail may be set. Bail can be a cash bond, surety bond, or personal bond depending on the case and court order. A detainer, warrant, parole hold, TDCJ paper-ready status, federal hold, or immigration issue can affect release even when a bond amount exists.

Bench warrant

A court-issued warrant, often tied to failure to appear or a court-order violation.

Detainer

A hold or notice from another agency that may affect release or transfer.

Paper-ready

A county jail status for a sentenced person waiting on transfer to TDCJ.

Guadalupe Property Rules

Property pickup is available Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., except county holidays. The inmate must complete a property release form, and the person picking up property must show state-issued identification. If an inmate transfers and cannot take property, and no pickup is arranged, the jail says property may be destroyed or donated to indigent inmates after 30 days.

Court clothes are accepted only when an inmate is going to jury trial. If a person is released without proper attire, indigent clothing may be issued. These property rules matter because jail staff cannot treat every clothing or property request as urgent, and visitors should not bring extra items unless the jail has confirmed they will be accepted.

Guadalupe Facility Notes

The jail's officially documented programs and conditions details are limited. The county publishes chaplain service contact at (830) 303-6342 ext. 2240, a recreational reading library, and commissary purchase of puzzle books. Indigent inmates can receive paper, pens, envelopes, and stamps for attorney or court correspondence, and materials for three regular letters per week during commissary day.

Recent public accountability context should be kept date-specific. Sheriff Joshua Ray took office on January 1, 2025. News reports in March 2025 said Texas Rangers were investigating an in-custody death after an inmate was found unresponsive in February 2025. Those reports should be read as news of an investigation, not as a final finding about fault or jail conditions.
