Get in Touch

McMullen County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot verify custody or release, arrange a release, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. For those matters, contact the responsible public office directly.


Choose the Right Public Office

McMullen has no verified public online roster or booking feed. Start with the arresting agency and then follow the custody or court path that fits the question.

McMullen County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Emmett Shelton
401 Main Street
Tilden, TX 78072
Mailing: P.O. Box 242, Tilden, TX 78072
Phone: 361-274-3311
Fax: 361-274-3736
Email: Sheriff@mcmullencounty.org

The sheriff is the official starting point for McMullen arrests and records. No separate records-unit line, online request form, booking-photo fee, or booking-photo policy was published. For an existing record, send a written request under Texas Government Code Chapter 552 and ask that it be routed to the public-information custodian.

Live Oak County Jail / Sheriff's Office
200 Larry R. Busby Drive
George West, TX 78022
Phone: 361-449-2271
Jail alternate: 361-449-8041

Regional planning material identifies Live Oak County Jail as McMullen's initial-detention destination. Use this route for present regional custody when it applies, and confirm a specific person's location directly because release, transfer, or a different placement can change the answer.

McMullen County and District Clerk, Mattie S. Martinez
501 River Street
Tilden, TX 78072
Mailing: P.O. Box 235, Tilden, TX 78072
Phone: 361-274-3215
Email: Mattie.Martinez@mcmullencounty.org

For a court setting, case record, or later disposition, use the county or district clerk rather than a custody source. The general county contact is 361-274-3900 at 501 River Street, P.O. Box 237, Tilden, TX 78072; published weekday county-office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

  • For a booking sheet, any public and releasable booking photo, or a publication-correction question under Texas Business & Commerce Code Chapter 109, follow the home guide and send a focused request to the sheriff. It explains the request path and why no public county feed should be assumed.
  • For a warrant or a court-related verification path, review Most Wanted and use the sheriff or clerk. McMullen has no verified official online warrant search.
  • For a recent McMullen arrest or a custody alert, see the current-custody guidance. The Live Oak official route points users to VINELink, which is a notification path rather than a public mugshot source.
  • For a sentenced person in state custody, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search. TDCJ covers state custody, not ordinary McMullen pretrial bookings, and it does not release public inmate photographs.
  • Use the Bureau of Prisons locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator only when the custody facts point to federal BOP or ICE custody. Neither replaces the sheriff, Live Oak, or clerk path.
  • For the county-seat context, visit Tilden Busted Mugshots; Tilden has no verified separate municipal police roster.
