Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail Overview
Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail is operated by the Crane County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page identifies Sheriff Andrew Aguilar and Chief Deputy Chris Villegas, gives the sheriff phone number as 432-558-3571, and links VINELink as the public custody-status resource. The county site did not publish a county-hosted jail roster, recent-booking report, booking-photo gallery, detention division directory, housing-unit map, or public visitation schedule during the research sweep.
The physical facility address comes from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation TABS construction record for the Crane County Law Enforcement Center: 464 Northwest Truck Route, Crane, TX 79731. The sheriff's mailing address is different, P.O. Box 1175, Crane, TX 79731, so directions and mailed correspondence should not be treated as the same thing. For navigation or arrival questions, use the Northwest Truck Route address and call 432-558-3571 before traveling.
The official TDLR TABS record identifies the Law Enforcement Center construction location used for the facility address below.
This source is useful because the sheriff page relies on a mailing address while the TDLR record confirms the physical Law Enforcement Center location for visitors and map routing.
Crane County Jail Capacity and Population
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports are the official population source located for this facility. In the Crane row dated June 1, 2026, TCJS reported 92 beds and a total jail population of 24, which is about 26.1 percent of capacity. The same report shows that the population was not a single category. It included local pretrial misdemeanor and felony detainees, bench-warrant detainees, convicted felony jail-time categories, contract inmates, a TDCJ-sentenced or parole-violator category, a pretrial state-jail felony category, and a paper-ready SAFP category.
| TCJS Category | Count |
|---|---|
| Local male pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants | 5 |
| Local male bench warrants | 3 |
| Local female bench warrants | 1 |
| Local male pretrial felons | 7 |
| Local female pretrial felon | 1 |
| Contract male and female pretrial felons | 2 |
| Contract male convicted misdemeanant | 1 |
| Local male convicted felons sentenced to county jail time | 2 |
| Local male convicted felon/parole violator sentenced TDCJ | 1 |
| Local male pretrial state-jail felon | 1 |
| Local male paper-ready SAFP | 1 |
| Contract inmates reported separately in the workbook | 3 |
How to Look Up an Inmate at Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail
No official Crane County online jail roster was located. The practical lookup chain is sheriff phone confirmation, VINELink custody status, a Texas Public Information Act request to the sheriff for booking records when needed, then the correct outside locator if the person is no longer in county jail custody. Sentenced state prisoners are searched through TDCJ, federal sentenced prisoners through BOP, and immigration detainees through ICE ODLS.
- Call the Crane County Sheriff's Office at 432-558-3571 for current custody, release, bond, transfer, and visitation-status questions.
- Use VINELink, which the sheriff page links for offender custody status and notifications.
- If a booking record, mugshot, incident report, or historical jail log is needed, ask the sheriff how to submit a Texas Public Information Act request by mail, fax, in person, or any accepted electronic channel.
- Search TDCJ only after sentencing or state transfer, BOP only for federal prison custody, and ICE ODLS only for immigration detention.
- For filed charges after arrest, use re:SearchTX or clerk records rather than treating jail booking information as the court case.
Custody check: A missing VINELink result does not prove there was no arrest. Spelling, release, transfer, timing, or custody level can affect search results.

Visiting Someone at Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail
No official Crane County jail visitation schedule, video-visit provider, visitor approval rule, dress code, child-visitor rule, or attorney-visit procedure was located on county pages. Visitors should not assume that a general Texas jail practice applies locally. Call 432-558-3571 before traveling, ask whether the person is still housed at the jail, ask whether visits are offered that day, and confirm whether government photo ID, preapproval, appointment scheduling, or restrictions on phones, bags, keys, medication, or documents apply.
| Visitation Topic | Published Status | Action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | Schedule not published | Call 432-558-3571 before traveling. |
| Video visitation | Provider not published | Ask whether video visits exist and whether an account is required. |
| Visitor approval | Rules not published | Ask about ID, visitor lists, background checks, and appointment rules. |
| Attorney visits | Procedure not published | Attorneys should confirm professional-visit handling directly with jail staff. |
| Accessible entry | Visitor entrance details not published | Confirm parking, entrance, and accessibility before arrival. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail
The research did not locate an official Crane County jail mail format, mail scanning policy, commissary vendor, deposit vendor, phone provider, tablet provider, deposit fee schedule, or package rule. Because vendor names and jail mail rules change and none were verified in official Crane sources, do not send books, photos, money orders, or funds until staff confirm what is accepted. For legal mail, attorneys should confirm the current professional mail process directly with jail staff.
| Service | Officially Located Detail | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Mail Address | Not published as an inmate-mail format | Ask for inmate name/ID format and accepted mailing address. |
| Phone / Video | Provider not published | Ask if calls or video visits use an account provider and what rates apply. |
| Money Deposit | Vendor not published | Ask if deposits are accepted in person, by kiosk, money order, or vendor. |
| Commissary | Rules not published | Ask whether commissary is available and whether ordering deadlines apply. |
Booking and Intake at Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail
Crane County-specific booking steps are not published in detail by the sheriff, so intake should be understood as a standard Texas county-jail process localized to this facility. Arrest may start with the sheriff, Crane Police, another Texas agency, a warrant, or a court order. Jail intake can include identity confirmation, warrant checks, property inventory, booking photo and fingerprints, medical or mental-health screening, classification, and magistrate or bond processing under Texas criminal procedure. No local online refresh rate, release-retention rule, housing-unit display, or public booking profile was located.
If Crane Police make the arrest, the person may begin at the city police level, then be cited and released, taken before a magistrate, or booked into the county jail. Once booked at the county jail, the sheriff phone number and VINELink are the relevant custody-status routes. Court records come later through re:SearchTX or clerk channels after charges are filed.
About Crane County Law Enforcement Center / Crane County Jail
The official record set supports a narrow, fact-based description: a sheriff-operated county jail and law-enforcement center at the Northwest Truck Route location, with TCJS population reporting and VINELink linked by the sheriff for custody status. No official source located a separate Crane County detention department site, county-hosted public roster, jail mail rule page, commissary rule page, phone vendor page, housing-unit description, public visitation calendar, or booking-photo gallery.
The facility is also separate from the statewide and federal systems. No TDCJ prison unit, BOP prison, ICE detention facility, or separate regional jail was located in Crane County through the official sources reviewed. A Crane County arrestee may remain in county custody, be released, transfer to state custody after sentencing, or move into a federal or immigration system depending on the case and any holds.
Note: Confirm custody, visiting status, mail rules, and payment procedures with the jail before traveling or sending anything.
