Robertson County Inmate Population
The Robertson County inmate population is reported through two main public channels. The sheriff's office publishes the live jail roster for people held at the Robertson County Jail / Robertson County Sheriff's Office Detention Center, while the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports publish formal county jail counts, capacity, and incarceration-rate data. These sources measure different things. The roster is a person-by-person custody list. TCJS is a monthly state reporting system that counts jail population categories, rated beds, and countywide rate measures.
Robertson County does not have a separate official municipal jail, state prison, BOP prison, ICE detention center, or regional detention facility listed in the official research sources. Local arrests from Franklin, Hearne, Calvert, Bremond, and other Robertson County communities normally route to the sheriff-run detention center in Franklin if the person remains in custody. A sentenced state prisoner from a Robertson County case moves out of the county jail system and must be searched through the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
Robertson County Inmate Population Statistics
The June 2026 TCJS workbooks give the strongest official count for the Robertson County inmate population. The TCJS current population workbook listed 92 rated beds and a final jail population of 67 for Robertson County on June 1, 2026. The separate TCJS incarceration-rate workbook listed an average daily population of 71, a countywide population field of 17,659, and a rate of 4.02 per 1,000 residents for the same reporting month. The sheriff's public roster showed 63 current inmates when inspected on June 30, 2026, which is a later roster snapshot rather than the same monthly TCJS count.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated jail capacity | 92 beds | TCJS current population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Final jail population | 67 | TCJS current population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Average daily population | 71 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Capacity utilization | 72.8% | 67 divided by 92, calculated from TCJS June 2026 data |
| Sheriff roster count | 63 current inmates | Robertson County roster page title, inspected June 30, 2026 |
| Countywide population used by TCJS | 17,659 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 2026 |
The TCJS population report page is the source to check for later workbooks. The screenshot below shows the state reporting portal that publishes county jail population files for Robertson County and other Texas counties.
That state source is useful because it separates jail capacity and population reporting from the sheriff's roster, which is designed for person lookup rather than trend analysis.
Robertson County Jail Population Trends
The short TCJS trend available in the research shows a stable Robertson County inmate population from late 2025 through June 2026. The average daily population stayed between 69 and 72 across the seven reported month marks. April and May 2026 were the high points in this short set, each at 72 ADP, and June 2026 dropped slightly to 71. No official county source in the research showed a recent jail expansion, consent decree, closure, or litigation event to explain a large swing.
| Month / Date | ADP | TCJS Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dec. 1, 2025 | 69 | 3.91 | Countywide population field 17,659. |
| Jan. 1, 2026 | 70 | 3.96 | Slight increase. |
| Feb. 1, 2026 | 70 | 3.96 | Stable from January. |
| Mar. 1, 2026 | 71 | 4.02 | Increase to 71 ADP. |
| Apr. 1, 2026 | 72 | 4.08 | Highest point in this table. |
| May 1, 2026 | 72 | 4.08 | Stable from April. |
| June 1, 2026 | 71 | 4.02 | Slight decline. |
Trend data should be read with the right label. ADP is an average, the final population is a point-in-time count, and the sheriff roster is a live public lookup list. A roster title from June 30, 2026 can differ from the June 1 TCJS count without showing an error, because the date and purpose are not the same.
Robertson County Custody Makeup
The TCJS June 1, 2026 row shows that pretrial felony custody was the largest visible part of the Robertson County inmate population. The research captured 28 local male pretrial felons and 5 local female pretrial felons in selected TCJS categories. The same row also showed 5 local male pretrial Class A and B misdemeanants, 1 local male bench warrant, 7 local male parole violators with a new charge, 9 local male convicted felons or parole violators sentenced to TDCJ divisions, 4 local male pretrial state jail felons, and 1 local female pretrial state jail felon.
- Pretrial felonies: the largest visible category in the TCJS row, with both male and female pretrial felony counts reported.
- Local misdemeanors: the selected row showed 5 local male pretrial Class A and B misdemeanants.
- Parole and bench warrants: TCJS categories included parole violators with new charges and one local male bench warrant.
- TDCJ transfer categories: some county jail inmates may be convicted or paper-ready while waiting for state prison movement.
These categories help explain why the Robertson County inmate population is not just a list of newly arrested people. A county jail can hold people before court, after misdemeanor sentence, on warrant matters, during parole action, or while state transfer paperwork is pending.
Robertson County Jail Capacity
Robertson County was below rated capacity in the June 2026 TCJS population row used for this build. The jail's final count of 67 was 25 people below the 92-bed capacity, which equals about 72.8 percent use. That does not mean every housing area had the same open space. Jail bed use can depend on gender, classification, medical limits, separation needs, warrants, and staff decisions, and the local public sources did not publish pod-level bed detail.
Capacity note: TCJS data is the official county jail capacity source used here, while daily housing decisions remain a facility matter.
Robertson County Jail Population Laws
Several Texas laws explain why jail population and booking information can be public while still having limits. Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, governs access to government records and exceptions. Code of Criminal Procedure article 15.26 requires public release of specified arrest information, including booking photo and basic arrest facts. Government Code Chapter 511 creates the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, the agency behind county jail standards and population reports.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 controls public information requests and exceptions.
Texas Government Code Chapter 511 supports county jail standards and TCJS oversight.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 49.18 governs death-in-custody reporting.
Robertson County State Prison Lookup
Texas state prison custody is separate from the Robertson County inmate population held at the county jail. After sentencing and transfer, a person is searched through the TDCJ inmate search, not through the sheriff roster. TDCJ says its online search covers current TDCJ inmates only, is updated on working days, and is at least 24 hours old. TDCJ also provides inmate information by email or telephone through its statewide channels.
| System | Who It Covers | Where to Search |
|---|---|---|
| Robertson County Jail roster | Current county jail custody and recent 48-hour releases | Sheriff roster and release pages |
| Texas Department of Criminal Justice | Sentenced state prison inmates currently in TDCJ custody | TDCJ number, SID, or exact name search |
| Federal Bureau of Prisons | Federal inmates from 1982 to present | BOP number or name search |
| ICE Online Detainee Locator | Immigration detention outside the county roster | ICE ODLS |
Search Robertson County Inmates
The official lookup starts at the Robertson County inmate roster disclaimer. That page links to current inmates and to a 48-hour release list. The current roster is free and does not require a login. It is built for people who are in the Robertson County Jail now. The release page is for people released from the sheriff detention center within the last two days.
- Open the official roster disclaimer and choose Current Inmates for a person believed to be in custody now.
- Choose 48 Hour Release if the person recently bonded out, transferred, or was otherwise released.
- Use Search By Name when the list is long, or sort by name or booking date.
- Open View Profile for the matching person and compare booking number, booking time, age, commissary ID, VINE ID, and arresting agency.
- Call the detention center before relying on bond, charges, or case numbers, because the profile warning says those items can change after court.

Robertson County Roster Fields
The roster controls are simple but useful. The inspected current roster showed name and date sort links, current and released status options, newest-to-oldest and oldest-to-newest sorting, a Search By Name box, a Search button, a Show All button, and pagination. The public source did not publish wildcard rules or a minimum number of letters for name search.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Search By Name | Text | No | Searches roster by name; no wildcard rule published. |
| Name | Sort/filter link | No | Sorts the roster by inmate name. |
| Date | Sort/filter link | No | Sorts by booking date and time. |
| Current | Status tab | No | Shows people currently in county jail custody. |
| Released | Status tab | No | Connects to the 48-hour release channel. |
| Pagination | Page links | No | Page numbers, Next, and Last were visible. |
Robertson County Released Inmates
The sheriff site has a distinct 48-hour release channel. That helps when a family member, bondsman, or victim checks a name after a recent release or transfer. Older bookings are not shown indefinitely in the public release list. For older jail records, the Robertson County Sheriff's Office Records Division is the correct local fallback. The sheriff's Forms/FAQs page says requests can be made by mail, phone, fax, or email and should include details that help staff locate the record.
Blanket or open-ended requests are not accepted by the sheriff's office. A better request identifies the report number, booking number, type of report or incident, date, location, names of involved parties, and requester contact information when known. Court charges, case settings, and dispositions are not the same record as a booking entry, so those items move to County Clerk, District Clerk, or iDocket channels after filing.
Robertson County Inmate Record Fields
A Robertson County inmate profile can show a public booking photo and core custody fields. The inspected sample profile showed the person's name, mugshot, booking number, booking time, inmate ID for commissary, VINE ID, gender, race, age, address in city/state style, charges, bond, bond type, bond status, and arresting agency. The profile did not show height, weight, eye color, hair color, date of birth, housing unit, court date, warrant number, release date, or projected release date in the inspected public text.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Booking Number | Local identifier for the custody event and roster profile. |
| Booking Time | Date and time of intake into Robertson County custody. |
| Inmate ID (Commissary) | Number used for commissary and deposit identification. |
| VINE ID | Identifier tied to custody notification lookup. |
| Mugshot | Booking photo visible while the public profile is available. |
| Charge and Bond | Charge label and bond columns that can change after court action. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency responsible for arrest or hold. |
Robertson County Detention Facility
The facility map resolves to one local detention facility for the Robertson County inmate population. The Robertson County Jail / Robertson County Sheriff's Office Detention Center is the sheriff-run jail in Franklin. It holds current Robertson County detainees, pretrial defendants, local sentenced inmates, parole and bench-warrant holds, and transfer-ready inmates when applicable. There was no official separate city jail, regional jail, state prison, federal prison, or ICE detention center found inside the county.

Robertson County Custody Fallbacks
If a name is missing from the Robertson County roster, use a chain rather than guessing. Check the 48-hour release list first. Then call the jail information line, ask the Records Division for older sheriff records, and check statewide or federal systems if the person may have moved out of county custody. VINELink is also available in Texas and appears from Robertson County profile links, so it can help with custody notification rather than record copies.
