Finding Someone in Custody in Granbury
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Granbury is held at the county jail, run by the Hood County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Hood County Sheriff's Office at sheriff.hoodcounty.texas.gov (page title: Hood County Sheriff, TX), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 30, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster.
