Martin County Jail Overview
Martin County Jail / Dan Saunders Law Enforcement Center is operated by the Martin County Sheriff's Office. Official sheriff and directory sources identify Sheriff Randy Cozart and place the facility at 3522 Interstate 20 in Stanton. The jail is the public custody point for people arrested locally by the sheriff's office, Stanton Police Department, and other agencies that book into Martin County custody.
The facility is a county jail, not a state prison. It holds pretrial detainees, locally sentenced misdemeanants, felony pretrial detainees, state-jail-felony pretrial detainees, parole or blue-warrant holds, and other reported hold populations as applicable. No official research located a separate Martin County jail annex, city jail, work-release center, ICE facility, BOP facility, or TDCJ prison unit in the county.
Martin County Jail Capacity
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards listed Martin County Jail with a rated capacity of 54 beds in the June 1, 2026 current inmate population report. The same TCJS row reported a total jail population of 15, or 27.78 percent of capacity. The TCJS incarceration-rate file listed an average daily population of 17 for Martin County on June 1, 2026. Kologik returned 20 current roster entries during a later June 30, 2026 inspection, which shows why source dates should stay attached to jail population figures.
The TCJS population reports landing page is the statewide source for the county jail capacity and population spreadsheets.
The TCJS page supports the facility's population context, while the Kologik roster supports current person-level custody lookup.
Who Is Held at Martin County Jail
Martin County Jail holds local custody populations. The June 1, 2026 TCJS breakdown included local male and female pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants, local male and female pretrial felons, one local male parole violator with a new charge, and one local female pretrial state-jail-felony detainee. Contract inmates, out-of-state contract inmates, and housed-elsewhere inmates were reported as zero in that TCJS row.
Stanton Police Department is important to the facility's custody map. The city police page lists police contacts and an open-records process, but it does not publish a separate municipal jail roster. The current Kologik roster samples included arresting agencies such as Martin County Sheriff's Office and Stanton Police Department, which supports the local operating picture that city-police arrests can be booked into the county jail.

Martin County Jail Address
Custody, roster, visitation, bond, and facility questions route to the sheriff's office and jail line. Martin County's general government address is different from the jail address, so use the I-20 law-enforcement-center address for jail travel and mail questions unless jail staff gives a different mailing format.

Visiting Martin County Jail
Official Martin County online sources did not publish jail visitation hours, video-visitation vendor, visit length, dress code, visitor approval rules, or a public lobby schedule. This is a verified research gap. Visitors should call the jail before traveling and confirm whether visits are active, what ID is required, whether minors may visit, which items are barred, and where to enter the building.
| Visit Type | Published Schedule | Source Note |
|---|---|---|
| County jail in-person visitation | Not published online in official Martin County sources located. | Call 432-756-3336 before travel. |
| County jail video visitation | No official vendor or schedule verified. | Ask the jail whether video is available. |
| Attorney visits | Not published online. | Attorneys should call for professional-visit procedure. |
| TDCJ state-prison visitation | Handled through TDCJ policy and portal. | Not used for county jail detainees. |
Mail and Money at Martin County Jail
Research did not locate an official Martin County jail mail policy, mail-scanning vendor, inmate phone vendor, video vendor, commissary vendor, or deposit fee schedule. The facility address should not be used blindly for personal mail until jail staff confirms the format. Some jails require an inmate name and ID, some use a vendor address, and some reject certain paper, photos, or packages. Martin County's official online materials did not verify those details.
| Service | Verified Local Detail | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | Official policy not located. | Call 432-756-3336 for exact address format. |
| Legal mail | Official policy not located. | Attorneys should confirm legal-mail procedure. |
| Phone or video accounts | No official vendor verified. | Ask jail staff what system is active. |
| Money deposits | No official vendor or fee schedule verified. | Do not send funds until confirmed. |
| TDCJ trust/eCommDirect | Applies to state prisoners only. | Use after a person is in TDCJ custody. |
Booking at Martin County Jail
Booking at Martin County Jail follows the local arrest-to-intake path. A person may be arrested by the sheriff's office, Stanton Police Department, DPS, or another agency, then transported to the jail for intake. The roster fields show the steps that are public after booking: arrest time, booking time, agency, photo, physical descriptors, charge table, warrant number, bond amount, and release timestamp if populated.
Sample data showed that arrest and booking timestamps can be close together or separated by one to two hours, but no official source publishes a guaranteed booking timeline. First appearance, bond setting, and release conditions depend on the magistrate or court, the charge, and any hold. A No Bond entry on one charge or a detainer from another agency can block release even when another charge has a dollar bond.
Martin County Jail Records Requests
For booking records or booking photos not visible on the current roster, use a written Texas Public Information Act request to the Martin County Sheriff's Office. A strong request identifies the person's full name, approximate arrest or booking date, arresting agency if known, CCN or warrant number if shown on Kologik, and the exact records requested. Ask for electronic copies if that is acceptable and ask for a cost estimate before copies are produced.
For a Stanton Police report tied to an arrest, use Stanton Police's open-records process. The official city page lists non-emergency contact at 432-756-3303 and says the department may ask follow-up questions to locate records. If the requester does not respond within 10 business days, the city page says the request will be considered withdrawn.
Martin County Jail Oversight
Texas county jails are regulated by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards under Texas Government Code Chapter 511 and related jail standards. TCJS population and inspection records provide the statewide oversight frame, while the sheriff's office manages local custody operations. The research did not locate official Martin County pages for GED programs, religious services, work release, grievance procedures, medical provider details, renovation history, or a published jail program list.
Sentenced state-prison programs are different. TDCJ publishes separate resources for visitation, digital mail, technology, commissary or trust funds, parole, reentry, chaplaincy, and unit directories. Those state resources apply after a person leaves Martin County Jail for TDCJ custody.
Note: Confirm custody, visitation, mail, and release procedures with Martin County Jail before traveling or sending funds.
