SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Caldwell County Sheriff's Office at caldwellcounty.texas.gov/government/sheriff (page title: Sheriff's Office | Caldwell County, TX), phone (512) 398-6777, 1204 Reed Drive, Lockhart, TX 78644, which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at (512) 398-6777.
