Step 4: Choose Your Search Method
At the top of the page, you will see a heading that says, “search by.” On this page, it will give you two options, depending on what information you have available. You can search for the defendant’s name or its booking number.
If you have the defendant’s booking number, the better. Searching by the defendant’s name can give you multiple results, especially if the person you are searching for has a common name.
Moreover, you have to be accurate when putting the information of the defendant you’re looking for. One mistake, and you will have incorrect results. The more information you place, the more precise your results will be.
Step 5: Review The Results

Step 6: Check The Location Information
On the right upper part of the page, you will see a small heading that says, “Location.” For most of the listed records, you are more likely to find “Main Jail” as the location. If you see something else, you might want to call the Booking Desk for more information.
Booking Desk – (512) 943-1365
Step 7: Verify The Defendant’s Information
If the defendant you are looking for has a common name, you will need to verify if all the details on the result are correct. Check if the information such as the first, middle, and surname, if it matches with birth date.
Step 8: Check The Booking And The Release Dates
After you have verified the name of the person you are searching, check if the columns of booking and released dates are filled in. These columns will let you know if the person you are seeking is still in custody,
For example, if both booking and release dates are filled in, then the person you are searching for is no longer under the care of Williamson County Jail. But if the column of the booking date has filled in and the released date column is empty, the chances are high that the defendant is still in custody.
Step 9: Getting More Information
Finally, to be more certain if you have the correct person on the result, you can click on the booking number displayed on the page. This will direct you to a page where you can see the information about the charge. It’s also possible to see the defendant’s mug shot photo (if available) to help you verify identity.
