Find Brewster County Jail Inmates

Brewster County Jail Overview

Brewster County Jail is operated by the Brewster County Sheriff's Office. For this Terrell County facility map, it is treated as a documented regional or contract fallback because Terrell County Commissioners Court minutes approved a detention-services agreement with Brewster County for non-high-risk Terrell inmates. The jail is in Alpine, not Sanderson, so it should not be described as the Terrell County Jail.

The Brewster sheriff page lists Jail Administrator Jose Gutierrez, the jail address, office phone extension, fax, and email. TCJS current data for June 1, 2026 reports Brewster County Jail capacity as 56 beds and total jail population as 28. Those figures describe the Brewster facility as a whole. They do not prove that a specific Terrell County inmate is currently held there.

The matching official image for this facility is the Brewster County Sheriff's Office jail contact page, which lists the jail administrator and detention facility contact details.

Use that contact page when the roster is unclear, when visitation or mail rules are needed, or when a Terrell County placement has to be confirmed by a human office.

Brewster County Jail Contract

Terrell County's relevance to Brewster County Jail comes from official county minutes, not from a permanent facility listing. Commissioners Court minutes dated November 12, 2024 approved the Brewster and Terrell County inmate agreement for detention services at Brewster County Jail. The minutes identify the term as October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2025 and describe the agreement as covering non-high-risk Terrell County inmates.

No official renewal after September 30, 2025 was located during the research pass. That distinction is important. Brewster County Jail should be described as a documented recent contract path and a possible fallback when current officials or case facts point there. It should not be described as a guaranteed current host for every Terrell County detainee. For an active Terrell County custody check, call the Terrell County Sheriff's Office first, then use Brewster's roster and jail administrator contact if the person was transferred or contract housed.

Brewster County Jail Population

TCJS is the official public source for the Brewster County Jail capacity and population figures used here. The June 1, 2026 County Jail Population workbook lists Brewster County Jail capacity as 56 beds and total jail population as 28. That is a 50 percent capacity snapshot based on the reported figures. The same TCJS reporting system separately lists Terrell County Jail as an 8-bed facility with a total population of 2 on that date.

Population data helps show why Brewster County Jail is relevant as a nearby contract facility, but it is not a named-inmate search. A person with a Terrell County case may be in Terrell custody, Brewster custody, state prison, federal custody, ICE custody, or released. Use the roster and phone contacts to identify the present custody stage before relying on population numbers.

Brewster County Jail Roster

Brewster County uses the Kologik Public Jail Roster. This is the main roster path for Brewster County Jail custody. It is relevant to Terrell County searches only when a Terrell County inmate has been confirmed or reasonably may have been housed at Brewster County Jail under the documented detention-services arrangement. It is not an official Terrell County roster.

1. Start with Terrell County if the arrest happened in Terrell County. Ask whether the person was housed locally, moved to Brewster County Jail, released, or transferred to another system.
2. Open the Brewster Kologik roster and search the name filter. Use full name details when possible because short names can return too many results.
3. Review the current roster result, recent booking filter, or alphabetical controls. If the person is not listed, call the jail administrator contact before assuming the person was never held there.
4. Check whether the record shows arrest date, charges, bond, arresting agency, or a VINE link. Charges on a roster are not the final court record.
5. Use TDCJ, BOP, or ICE locators when the person is no longer in Brewster County Jail and the custody stage has shifted to state, federal, or immigration custody.

Brewster Jail Record Fields

The Kologik roster bundle for Brewster County supports a fuller record card than Terrell County's official site, which did not publish an online roster. A visible Brewster record can include personal identifiers, booking timing, physical descriptors, agency information, charges, bond, and optional photo or notification links. The exact display can change by agency settings and release status.

Released-person records may be different. The Kologik app text can state that charges are not available for released people. For filed charges and court outcomes after a Terrell County arrest, use clerk and court records instead of treating a jail roster field as a final case disposition. The Terrell County court-record workflow is separate from the Brewster custody screen.

Brewster County Jail Contact

The official Brewster sheriff page lists Jail Administrator Jose Gutierrez as the detention contact. Use the jail administrator contact for Brewster-specific visitation, mail, commissary, and roster questions. Use the Terrell County Sheriff's Office for the first custody check when the case began in Terrell County, because Terrell officials can confirm whether Brewster is the right current placement route.

The Brewster page also lists fax 432-837-5213 and email jose.gutierrez@co.brewster.tx.us. Those details are useful for facility-specific questions, but a public-information request for a Terrell County sheriff record should still be routed to the office that maintains that Terrell record.

Brewster County Jail Visits

Detailed Brewster County Jail visitation, mail, commissary, phone, video, deposit, tablet, and attorney-visit rules were not harvested from an official Brewster detention policy page in the research pass. The official contact exists, but the detailed policy page was not located. That makes same-day confirmation important before a drive from Sanderson or another Terrell County location to Alpine.

Ask three practical questions before a visit: whether the person is still at Brewster County Jail, whether that person is eligible for visits, and whether the visit must be scheduled. If the person was sentenced to TDCJ, Brewster County Jail rules no longer control. If the person moved to federal or immigration custody, use the federal or ICE facility contact instead.

Brewster County Jail Mail

The research did not locate a detailed Brewster County Jail policy page for inmate mail format, books, photos, legal mail, commissary, online deposits, kiosk deposits, deposit fees, or phone accounts. Use the official jail administrator contact before sending funds, mail, or books. This is especially important for a Terrell County inmate who may have been moved under a contract arrangement, because the controlling facility can change.

Do not import Terrell County rules, TDCJ prison rules, or another Texas jail's vendor rules into Brewster County Jail. County jail mail and money systems are facility-specific. When no official policy page is available, phone confirmation is the most accurate path.

Brewster Jail Custody Stages

A Brewster County Jail roster result is a county-jail custody record. It is not the same as a state prison record, federal prison record, ICE custody record, or final court judgment. For Terrell County users, this distinction helps prevent a common mistake: searching the wrong system after a transfer, release, sentence, or detainer.

Texas IVSS-Counties may also be relevant for victim notification where participating data is available. Texas transitioned county victim notification to IVSS-Counties effective September 1, 2025, but Terrell County-specific participation was not confirmed in the official sources reviewed.

About Brewster County Jail

Brewster County Jail matters to Terrell County inmate population research because it is the named facility in a recent Terrell County detention-services agreement. Its official roster gives users a real online search path that Terrell County itself does not publish. That makes it useful, but only after the custody route is confirmed. A Terrell County arrest does not automatically mean a Brewster County Jail booking.

For the broader Terrell County inmate search, begin with Terrell County Jail and the sheriff's office, then use Brewster County Jail when the person may have been housed there. For filed court records, use the clerk and court process. For sentenced prison custody, use TDCJ. For federal and immigration custody, use BOP and ICE. Each system answers a different custody question.
