Cameron County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, arrange a release or bond, or retrieve official booking records. Contact the government office that maintains the record for an official answer.
Official Cameron County Record Contacts
For county jail custody or a specific booking record, begin with the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office: 7300 Old Alice Road, Olmito, Texas 78575. The main number is (956) 554-6700, the Jail Division number is 956-554-6701, and the listed fax is 956-554-6775. The primary booking facility is Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center at 7100 Old Alice Road, Olmito, Texas 78575. County public offices generally list Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; do not assume a records response line follows jail custody operations.
The sheriff materials reviewed do not identify a separate booking-photo request form, fee, or fixed response time. For a record or photograph that is not visible on the roster, use the sheriff’s Public Information Act route and identify the person, booking number or SO number, booking date, requested record, and preferred format. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 allows access to public information subject to exceptions and redactions.
- For a current or recent county-jail listing, use the official Cameron County inmate list. It is a county roster, not a complete federal, immigration, state-prison, or municipal-jail index.
- For a booking photo, booking packet, charge record, or release or transfer record, direct a focused Texas Public Information Act request to the Cameron County Sheriff’s Office. The county guide explains the official route and its limits.
- For a later criminal case, court docket, or disposition, use the Cameron County portals and the appropriate clerk or court route rather than relying on a roster entry.
- For a Brownsville police record, contact the Brownsville Police Records Division at 600 E. Jackson St., Brownsville, TX 78520, (956) 548-7117, or use its official records page.
- For a Harlingen police record, use the Harlingen Police records-request center. For San Benito records, the Police Department lists (956) 361-3880 and the City Secretary public-information request route.
- For someone in sentenced state custody, use Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inmate Information. It is not a current Cameron County booking source.
- For federal custody or immigration detention, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Those systems are distinct from the county roster.
