Pecos County's Three-Day Release Record
The official Pecos County Sheriff page provides contact information for the active jail in Fort Stockton. It does not link a current roster, released-person view, three-day report, archive, mobile app, or stated update cycle. As a result, no public list can honestly be refreshed or filtered on the county website.
A three-day list must be assembled from existing county records. Contact the sheriff at 432-336-3521 and identify the precise interval. The active facility is at 1774 N. Hwy 285, Fort Stockton, rather than the historic Old Pecos County Jail museum on W. Gallagher. The City of Pecos is in Reeves County, so a similarly named city detention result is not a Pecos County release source.
Request Pecos County's 72-Hour Releases
A rolling “last 72 hours” request changes by the minute. A calendar-based three-day request uses fixed dates. Choose the form that answers the real question and state it clearly.
- Set the beginning and ending timestamps in Central Time, including the date and time for each boundary.
- Ask for the existing release-event report or jail-register entries within that period.
- Include desired existing fields: name, booking number, booking date, departure date and time, release type, and receiving destination.
- Ask the sheriff to provide segregable public portions if a field requires redaction.
- Sort the returned records by event time, remove corrected duplicates, and classify transfers separately.
- Confirm each important event through its court cause or receiving agency.
If staff cannot export a date range without creating new information, narrow the inquiry by booking number or person. The Texas Public Information Act permits requests for existing records; it does not compel the county to prepare an analysis that is not already kept.
Pecos County 72-Hour Release Fields
Pecos County has not published a screen showing fixed columns. The field guide below describes items supported by the county booking and release record research and worth naming in a focused request.
| Requested field | How to read it |
|---|---|
| Name and booking number | Links the event to one jail stay and reduces false matches across the three-day span. |
| Booking date and arresting agency | Separates the local admission from an older or different-agency case. |
| Release or transfer timestamp | Determines whether the event falls within the requested boundaries. |
| Release type or reason | Provides the recorded category, which should be compared with the court order. |
| Receiving agency or destination | Distinguishes a community release from TDCJ, county, federal, or immigration transfer. |
| Charge, bond, and court reference | Helps locate the cause number and durable legal disposition. |
The receiving destination is essential. “Released” can be used as a system event while the person is released to another agency. Do not publish a count of community releases until transfers have been separated.
Pecos County Weekend Release Checks
A three-day interval can catch a Friday evening event when a search begins Monday, but it does not create a special weekend release rule. Pecos County publishes no standard discharge hour, weekend policy, or online posting cadence. Court authorization and physical discharge may also occur at different times because holds, identity review, warrants, paperwork, property, and receiving-agency coordination can remain.
Build the period backward from the moment of the inquiry, or request named calendar dates if that is easier to reproduce. Record when the sheriff response was obtained and preserve the exact event wording. If a departure appears just outside the range, expand the request based on the evidence instead of assuming that a late web update moved the actual event.
For a tighter same-day inquiry, use the Pecos County releases from the last 24 hours workflow. It uses the same official custodian but a different time boundary.
Trace Pecos County Transfers Forward
A three-day set may mix different outcomes. Start with the sheriff's destination field and move to the system that took custody. A person committed to TDCJ can leave the county jail and later appear in statewide inmate information. That is not a community release from confinement.
Community outcome
Pair the sheriff event with the appropriate Pecos County bond order, dismissal, judgment, sentence, jail-credit record, or release-related order.
State transfer
Search the TDCJ statewide system by TDCJ or SID number when possible, or match name and age carefully.
Other custody
Follow another county's receiving jail, the BOP locator and federal case record, or ICE ODLS and agency contact as the destination requires.
Fort Stockton Unit and James Lynaugh Unit are state prisons located within Pecos County. Unit departure can also mean transfer inside TDCJ. The Pecos County Sheriff cannot certify a later state-prison release, just as TDCJ does not replace the county jail's booking-out record.
Pecos County's Permanent Jail Register
Texas' Local Schedule PS makes the county jail register permanent and requires a release or transfer date. Booking-out, release, and transfer documents carry a minimum retention period of the event plus two years, absent an override, legal hold, or other controlling rule. The archive therefore lasts far longer than the hypothetical three-day display Pecos County does not operate.
This is the distinctive local advantage: the records-request route is more durable than the web route. If a three-day event is no longer recent, ask for the register entry and retained supporting documents. Supply a name, date of birth or approximate age, booking number when available, and the narrowest sound date range. Request the destination along with the date.
Retention does not guarantee unrestricted access to every field. Texas law allows exceptions and redactions, and court orders concerning confidentiality, nondisclosure, sealing, or expunction can change what may be produced. Ask for public portions rather than assuming that one protected detail bars the rest.
Note: A permanent transfer date preserves the custody trail, but only the receiving system can show what happened after that transfer.
Confirm Pecos County Release Causes
A jail record supplies the operational event. The court file supplies the legal cause. Use a booking sheet, bond paper, indictment, citation, or party record to obtain the cause number, then contact the correct clerk. The Pecos County Clerk states that staff do not perform open-ended criminal searches and asks requesters to provide a specific cause number.
Useful court instruments may include a bond order, dismissal, plea, judgment, sentence, jail-credit finding, commitment, or order to release. They may explain why someone should leave custody but not the precise time the jail completed all processing. Conversely, a sheriff transfer event can occur before the receiving court or custody database updates.
When the three-day request concerns one known person, the broader Pecos County release record guide explains how to connect the jail record, court cause, supervision record, and receiving custodian without relying on a daily feed.
Pecos County's Verified Sheriff Source
The project's matched image comes from the same official page used for records routing. The Pecos County Sheriff contact source demonstrates what the county provides and, just as important, what it does not present as a self-service release list.

Do not fill that gap with an unverified app, social profile, neighboring county roster, or commercial page. Such sources can be stale, omit destination fields, or confuse Pecos County with the City of Pecos. A defined official request is slower than clicking a feed, but it produces a record that can be traced and checked.
Keep the requested interval in Central Time and state both start and end timestamps. Ask whether the export uses booking-out time, final release time, or data-entry time. If the system cannot produce an existing three-day report without creating a new record, narrow the request to named people or booking numbers, or arrange access to the permanent jail register. Always request the release type and destination so agency transfers remain separate from community releases.
When one person appears more than once, compare booking numbers and event timestamps before counting two releases. A return on a new booking, a corrected disposition, and a transfer update are different events. Ask the sheriff to explain its codes rather than assigning a meaning from the label alone. Save the response date because a three-day interval can change as staff complete or correct entries.
Preserve the source and request date with the completed three-day record.
