Texas Inmate Search by Email

You can also receive Texas inmate search information by email.The following information is available but be specific in your email what you are requesting:

• TDCJ number
• Offender location
• Offense of Conviction
• Current incarceration: offense, county and court of conviction
• Projected Release Date:

(Projected release date is determined by the offense date and the nature of the offense. Offenses committed prior to 9-1-96, that are by Law eligible for Mandatory Supervision, will be released on their projected release date if they are not paroled.

Offenses committed 9-1-96 or after, that are by Law eligible for Mandatory Supervision, will be released at the discretion of BPP. For Texas inmates not approved for release by BPP, or that are not eligible for Mandatory Supervision, the projected release date will be their discharge date).
