Find your loved one
The TDCJ online search includes people currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility. It is not a search of all county jails or federal prisons.
What you will need
Use one of the following to search:
• Last name and at least the first initial of the first name
• TDCJ number
• SID (State Identification Number)
The original guide notes that name searches match the last name exactly and allow an asterisk (*) as a wildcard after the first letter of the first name. Follow the current instructions on the official search page.
