Collingsworth County Jail Overview
The Collingsworth County Jail is operated by the Collingsworth County Sheriff's Office. It is the only local detention facility identified in the county facility map. The official county page names Kent Riley as sheriff and gives 806-447-2588 as the public phone number. The jail serves local arrests in and around Wellington, the county seat, and handles the first local custody stage before bond, release, case disposition, transfer, or sentence placement.
TCJS reports identify Collingsworth as a 17-bed county jail. The size is important. This is not a large metro detention center with multiple annexes, a public mugshot feed, and a vendor search dashboard. The official county web source does not publish a dedicated jail page, a roster page, visitation rules, lobby hours, or online booking information. Readers should use direct contact with the jail for urgent custody questions and a written Texas Public Information Act request for copies of releasable records.
The official Collingsworth County sheriff page is the local source that confirms the jail operator and public phone number.
Collingsworth County Jail Capacity
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports are the official source for the local jail population figures captured in the research. The June 1, 2026 TCJS population workbook listed the Collingsworth County Jail at 17 rated beds and 10 total inmates, or 58.8% of capacity. The TCJS rate workbook listed a June 1, 2026 jail count of 9 for incarceration-rate purposes. Both figures are useful, but they should stay tied to their own workbook.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 17 beds | TCJS population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Total jail population | 10 inmates | TCJS population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Capacity use | 58.8% | TCJS population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Rate-workbook jail count | 9 inmates | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
Who Is Held at Collingsworth County Jail
The jail holds local pretrial detainees, misdemeanor prisoners, parole or blue-warrant holds, and people awaiting transfer to TDCJ when applicable. The June 1, 2026 TCJS category mix included local male pretrial Class A and B misdemeanant custody, local male pretrial felony custody, a parole violator or blue-warrant category, and convicted felons or parole violators sentenced to TDCJ-related divisions. Those are date-specific counts, not a permanent demographic rule.
- Pretrial
- Custody before conviction or before the case has reached final disposition.
- Blue warrant
- A Texas parole warrant that can hold a person while parole issues are addressed.
- Transfer hold
- A local jail stay while paperwork, sentence placement, or transport to another agency is pending.
- TDCJ
- The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the state prison system after sentenced transfer.
How to Look Up Collingsworth County Jail Inmates
No official county-hosted Collingsworth County Jail roster was found. The lookup path is therefore based on direct jail contact, notification tools, and records requests. For same-day custody, phone confirmation is more practical than waiting for a third-party notification system or checking state prison records that do not cover local pretrial custody.
- Call the jail or sheriff's office at 806-447-2588 with the person's full name and date of birth if known.
- Ask whether the person is currently held at Collingsworth County Jail and whether a booking number is available.
- Ask whether bond has been set, where bond is handled, and whether any hold blocks release.
- Check VINELink for Texas custody notifications where Collingsworth data is available.
- Use a written TPIA request for booking sheets, jail logs, incident records, or booking photos when informal release is not enough.
If the person was sentenced and transferred, use the TDCJ inmate search. If the matter is federal or immigration-related, use the BOP or ICE locator rather than the county jail path.

The working facility address for maps and build use is 810 Belton Street in Wellington. The county does not publish public counter hours, a jail-lobby map, visitor parking instructions, or a separate records email in the official sources reviewed. A call before travel can prevent a wasted trip if the person has been released, moved to court, transferred, or is not eligible for a visit.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Collingsworth County Jail
The official sources reviewed did not identify a local mail format, inmate phone provider, commissary vendor, money-deposit portal, kiosk rule, or fee schedule for Collingsworth County Jail. Do not assume a vendor such as one used by another Texas jail. Confirm the inmate's booking name, booking number requirement, allowed items, legal-mail handling, phone account setup, and money-deposit method directly with the jail.
| Service | Provider or Detail |

| Mail address format | Not published; call first for exact name, number, and address format. |

Booking at Collingsworth County Jail
During booking, jail staff may confirm identity, search for contraband, inventory property, gather basic identifying information, take fingerprints and a booking photo when required, and enter arrest details into jail records. Staff may also conduct medical or mental-health screening and classify the person for housing based on charge, behavior, security risk, gender, medical needs, and available space.
A booking record can begin before a court case is fully filed. The arrest charge in jail records may change once a prosecutor reviews the case. For filed charges, cause numbers, settings, dispositions, or clerk copies, use court-record channels rather than assuming the jail record is the final legal record.
Bond Release from Collingsworth County Jail
Bond questions should be confirmed after booking. Ask whether a magistrate or court has set bond, what type of bond is accepted, whether payment is handled at the jail or through a court or bondsman, and whether any other hold blocks release. Posting bond does not end the criminal case. It only addresses release under the conditions set by the court or magistrate.
Note: Confirm custody, bond status, and visitation eligibility with Collingsworth County Jail before traveling to Wellington.
