TDCJ posts a general charge of $0.10 per page for requests under 50 pages, plus postage. Larger work may involve other charges, so request an estimate.
Choose the route that matches the custody system and record sought:
- For a past Hill County jail release or an existing release record, begin with the home page search and request steps.
- For supervision, use Parole & Probation. Hill County CSCD is at 126 South Covington Street, 254-582-4075, Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.; the Waco parole office is at 5401 North State Highway 6, 254-848-2547.
- For recent releases, see the 24-Hour Release List guide. Hill County does not publish a verified official release feed, so the page explains the fallback process.
- For timing or alerts, compare the Projected Release Date guide with the VINELink Check.
- For the local facility, use the Hill County Jail / Hill County Correctional Center page.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the TDCJ inmate search and TDCJ contacts above.
- For federal custody, use the BOP Inmate Locator. For current immigration custody, use the ICE locator or call 1-888-351-4024.
