This is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot check a live custody status, arrange a release, post bond, or obtain an official booking record for a visitor. For a current answer or a record request, use the responsible public office listed below.
Official Hockley County routes
Use the office that maintains the record. The jail handles county custody information, the county public-information channel accepts written records requests, and the clerks handle different court records.
Hockley County Sheriff’s Office and Hockley County Jail
Sheriff Chris Wischkaemper1310 Avenue H
Levelland, TX 79336
Sheriff main number: 806-894-3126
Jail phone: 806-894-9334
The research did not identify a separate sheriff records-unit phone or published counter hours. Call ahead for routing, and use the official HCSO page for the current roster and service links.
County public-information requests
Hockley County Public Information Requests802 Houston Street, Suite 103
Levelland, TX 79336
publicinforequest@hockleycounty.org
For an existing HCSO or jail record, identify the person or date range, the agency, and the specific record requested. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs public-information requests. HCSO’s historical 2023 fee sheet listed $15 for an offense or book-in report and $10 for a new mug shot, but the current 2026 fee schedule must be checked. Format, labor, redactions, and the record sought can affect a response.
County and district court records
County Clerk Jennifer Palermo802 Houston Street, Suite 213
Levelland, TX 79336
806-894-3185
Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. District Clerk Oralie Gutierrez
802 Houston Street, Suite 316
Levelland, TX 79336
806-894-8527
Use the clerk that owns the court record. A jail booking does not establish a final case result. The county docket page is an official starting point for later county-court activity, while the District Clerk handles district-level records and expunction materials.
Where to look first
- For current county custody, begin with the official Hockley InterOp roster. A missing result can reflect release, transfer, correction, or a different custody system.
- For a recent time window or a specified arrest date, use the roster’s last-24-hour view or arrest-date view. An empty view is not proof that no arrest occurred.
- For a warrant question, verify directly with HCSO. The Wanted Fugitives guide explains why a public post is not a complete warrant database.
- For a state-prison custody question, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice offender search. It is not the same as the Hockley County roster and is not a public photo source.
- For separate federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
