Federal Releases Near Maverick County
The BOP is the federal prison system, not a Maverick County detention facility. A person arrested on a federal charge may first be held under U.S. Marshals authority in a local or contract facility. After sentencing and designation, the person may enter a BOP institution elsewhere. The official locator generally covers federal custody records from 1982 forward.
Release from Maverick County Jail to a federal custodian closes the county booking but does not mean community release. Likewise, a BOP release result confirms the BOP episode, not every later hold. The receiving agency and dates establish the chain.
| Federal stage | Best confirmation |
|---|---|
| Federal charge or detention order | PACER docket in the Western District of Texas |
| USMS pretrial or transport custody | Docket, counsel or court, then targeted USMS FOIA |
| BOP imprisonment or release | BOP Inmate Locator and BOP records |
| Immigration custody after release | ICE Online Detainee Locator and ICE records |
Search Federal Maverick County Releases
Use the BOP Inmate Locator first when a federal prison sentence is known. A register number is more precise than a name. Name searches should be narrowed with age, race, or sex as the form permits, then compared with the federal case.
- Search by the federal register number when available.
- Otherwise enter the full name and use demographic filters carefully.
- Open the matching result and record the name, number, location or status, and release-date value.
- Compare those details with the Western District of Texas docket.
- If the result is unclear or incomplete, request the relevant BOP custody entries under FOIA.
BOP updates its locator daily but warns that sentence recalculations may briefly make dates inaccurate. Presence can include some people held before trial or without a federal sentence, so a locator match does not prove conviction. Earlier federal records may require the National Archives.
The official search screen below is the correct federal route. It is separate from the Maverick County released inmate search, which handles the county episode.
The locator preserves certain released federal records. Its literal status and date should be quoted without extending the result to another agency.
Read BOP Release Results
“Released” with a date indicates the displayed BOP custody release. “Not in BOP custody” means the person is not currently held by BOP. Neither phrase says that no other authority holds the person. A future date is projected and can change.
| BOP display | Careful interpretation |
|---|---|
| Released with a past date | The shown BOP custody episode ended on the displayed date. |
| Not in BOP Custody | BOP does not currently hold the person; other custody remains possible. |
| Future release date | A projected federal date subject to recalculation. |
| In transit or unknown | Use the literal status and seek agency confirmation. |
| Community Corrections Management | A BOP community-placement designation, not proof of sentence discharge. |
Some records display a regional office, deceased status, or no ordinary institution. Do not translate those labels into assumptions. Save the search date and compare it with judgment, sentence, supervised-release terms, and later docket entries.
Federal Release Records and FOIA
When the locator is not enough, submit a focused request through BOP FOIA. Identify the person by full name and register number. Ask for the existing custody-history and release entries for a defined period, including the release date and release destination or type where available.
FOIA does not guarantee that every field will be public. Privacy, safety, law-enforcement, and other exemptions can limit a response. A narrow request is more useful than broad questions that ask staff to create a new explanation.

For a released person, request the record soon after checking the locator and include the exact wording you saw. If the result changes, retaining the access date helps reconcile the search with the later response.
Maverick Federal Court Release Records
Federal cases arising around Eagle Pass generally belong to the Western District of Texas. PACER can connect detention with dismissal, a release order, judgment, imprisonment, and supervised release. The docket explains legal authority, while the custodian's record supplies the physical event.
The Del Rio Division clerk is at 111 East Broadway, Room 100, Del Rio, Texas 78840, telephone 830-703-2054. Published hours are 8 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. PACER currently lists a per-page charge, document cap, and quarterly waiver described in the research, but charges should be checked at the time of use because they can change.
The Western District of Texas site identifies the court and divisions. Use the case number, defendant identity, detention order, judgment, and supervised-release terms to connect the person to the BOP result. A dismissal or release order still may be followed by a separate hold.
USMS Custody Before BOP
The U.S. Marshals Service handles federal pretrial detention and transport. It may house a federal detainee in a partner facility even when the person has never entered BOP custody. No public nationwide USMS detainee locator exists that matches the BOP tool.
Use the federal docket first. Counsel or the court may clarify the responsible custodian. For an archival custody history, submit a targeted USMS FOIA request. The Western District USMS publishes a Del Rio telephone of 830-308-6300, but public telephone staff may not disclose person-specific information.
A transfer from Maverick County Jail to USMS is a federal custody transfer. The Sheriff's release sheet should identify the receiving authority where public. Pair that local record with the docket because neither system alone reconciles the whole sequence.
Federal and ICE Custody Transfers
Maverick County's border location makes the distinction between criminal and civil custody especially important. A person can finish or leave a federal criminal custody episode and then enter ICE custody. Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator for eligible people currently in ICE custody or released from ICE custody within its published recent window.
ICE search results have limits. Exact matching, processing delay, safety exclusions, and rules for minors can produce no result. A result stating release from ICE custody does not reveal whether the person entered the community, departed the United States, moved to another authority, or began reporting conditions.
Historical ICE material concerning Maverick County Jail does not establish a present contract. Current custody must be verified through the responsible agency. Note: A local or federal release timestamp can be accurate even when another authority immediately assumes custody.
Confirm Federal Actual Release
Build the sequence from source records. Start with the Maverick County release or transfer entry if local booking occurred. Add the federal docket, then the BOP result or USMS record. Check ICE only when the facts support an immigration custody step.
- Record each agency name and exact event date.
- Separate court authorization from physical release.
- Label transfers as transfers, not community releases.
- Confirm any projected BOP date again after the event.
- Use FOIA for a missing historical custody segment.
No single locator reconciles Maverick County, TDCJ, USMS, BOP, and ICE. The safest account states only what each official record establishes. If dates conflict, note their update times and ask the agency that created the disputed entry.
Maverick Federal Release Archive Gaps
The BOP locator generally reaches back to 1982. Earlier federal prison research belongs with the National Archives rather than a failed modern locator search. Even within the covered period, an empty or unusual result should be read with the federal docket. BOP can list some people held before trial or without a federal sentence, so presence does not by itself establish a conviction. A regional-office label, Community Corrections Management designation, “in transit,” “unknown,” or deceased entry must be reported literally.
Federal supervised release is another separate stage. It is imposed through the federal judgment and monitored through the federal court and probation system, not TDCJ parole. PACER can show the judgment, supervised-release term, later revocation, and a new custody order. The BOP locator may establish when the prison episode ended, while the docket explains the obligations that followed it.
| Missing segment | Archival route |
|---|---|
| Maverick County booking or transfer | County release sheet |
| Federal detention and judgment | PACER docket |
| USMS pretrial or transport history | Targeted USMS FOIA |
| BOP incarceration and release | BOP locator and BOP FOIA |
| Federal supervised release | Judgment and later docket entries |
Ask for existing records with a defined time range. Include the federal register number, full name, and the precise custody or release entries needed. Privacy and law-enforcement exemptions can limit production. A narrow request does not guarantee disclosure, but it avoids asking an agency to reconstruct the entire case or create a new narrative.
