Houston County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, post bond, obtain or pull official booking records, alter a government record, or act for a court or jail. For those matters, contact the official custodian directly.
Official Houston County Record Routing
For a county-jail booking, current-custody question, or Public Information Act routing question, the published HCSO contact is:
Houston County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO)
Sheriff Zak Benge
700A South 4th Street
Crockett, TX 75835
Phone: 936-544-2862
Fax: 936-544-8061
Email: hcso@co.houston.tx.us
HCSO does not publish a separately labeled records-unit or booking-photo line, public records-office hours, a booking-photo fee, or a promised response time. Use the main line or email for routing, identify the person and approximate date carefully, and allow the agency to identify any responsive public record, fee, redaction, or exception.
- For a person who may be in current county custody, use the home page’s HCSO roster guide. It explains that the roster is a current-custody interface, not a complete arrest history.
- For a past booking record, a booking-photo request, or the official Texas IVSS notification path, start with the home page’s booking-record and IVSS guidance.
- For safe warrant information, see Wanted Fugitives. No verified HCSO online warrant portal or wanted list was identified.
- For a person sentenced to Texas state prison, use the official TDCJ offender search. It is a state-custody locator and does not provide public inmate photographs.
- For a federal detainee or an immigration-custody question, use the applicable Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S. Marshals Service, or ICE channel named by the official record. Those custody systems are separate from HCSO.
