Official Hill County contact routes
The Hill County Sheriff’s Office, led by Sheriff Hunter Barnes, is at 406 Hall Street, Hillsboro, TX 76645. Its phone number is 254-582-5313, and its public-records email is hcsoopenrecords@co.hill.tx.us. The official material reviewed for this guide does not publish business hours, so none are stated here. Choose the source below based on whether you need present custody, a historic record, or a later case outcome.
- For current Hill County custody status or release notifications, begin with the county-linked VINELink service. The Hill County Jail page directs users there.
- For a current-inmate roster, consult the official Hill County Sheriff TX app on Google Play or the Apple App Store. Local reporting describes a real-time roster, but the listings do not promise photographs.
- For a historic county booking record or possible booking photograph, send a focused Texas Public Information Act request to HCSO. Identify the person, relevant date range, known arresting agency, record type, and preferred delivery method. Records may be subject to exemptions.
- For a Hill County criminal-case disposition, use the District Clerk records search. A court case is not the same as a current-custody result.
- For a person sentenced to Texas state custody, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice offender search. That system is separate from a recent Hill County booking.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For qualifying immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator.
