Multi-County Probation Role
The TDCJ Community Justice Assistance Division directory groups Jeff Davis County with Brewster, Crockett, Pecos, Presidio, Reagan, Sutton, and Upton counties. This eight-county grouping is the local route for adult community supervision. The department is commonly shortened to CSCD, meaning Community Supervision and Corrections Department.
A CSCD is part of the local judicial branch. Its staff are district employees, not TDCJ employees, even though TDCJ-CJAD gives state oversight, standards, and support. The department does not operate a Jeff Davis jail, grant parole, or create the prison's physical release record. It supervises qualifying court sentences and reports to the courts that imposed them.
Confirm Multi-County Probation
Start with the Jeff Davis criminal cause. The judgment should say whether the court imposed community supervision, confinement, a fine, or another disposition. Record the cause number, court, judgment date, supervision term, and any conditions that are public. Then check later docket entries for a transfer, modification, alleged violation, revocation, early termination, or discharge.
- Match the full name and date of birth.
- Identify the Jeff Davis court and cause number.
- Obtain the judgment and sentence.
- Confirm that it orders community supervision.
- Ask which CSCD office holds the public supervision record.
- Check the docket for later orders and discharge.
No documented statewide public name lookup covers individual Texas probationers. A TDCJ inmate search is also the wrong starting point because it covers people currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility. Use the court record first, then the serving CSCD.
Jeff Davis Probation Court
Jeff Davis County uses a combined County and District Clerk office. The official District Clerk page lists Jennifer Wright at 111 N. Front Street, Fort Davis, TX 79734, with mailing address P.O. Box 398, Fort Davis, TX 79734. The telephone number is 432-426-3251 and the fax number is 432-426-3760.
Ask the clerk which court owns the cause. Request the docket, charging document, plea papers, judgment, sentence, conditions or referenced order, and later modification, revocation, or discharge entries. re:SearchTX may show material from participating courts, but coverage and permissions vary. A missing online result is not proof that no case or supervision order exists.
Probation Is Not Parole
The difference controls the search route. Probation is imposed by a court, often instead of incarceration. Parole is conditional release from TDCJ after a prison sentence, based on a Board decision and supervised by TDCJ Parole Division. Jeff Davis parole cases route to the Monahans District Parole Office. Jeff Davis probation cases route through the sentencing court and the eight-county CSCD.
| Question | Community supervision | Parole |
|---|---|---|
| Who starts it? | Jeff Davis sentencing court | Texas Board release decision |
| Who supervises? | Multi-County CSCD | TDCJ Parole Division |
| First record | Judgment and docket | TDCJ and Board record |
| Local route | Eight-county department | Monahans District Parole Office |
| End record | Court or CSCD discharge | TDCJ parole discharge |
The Jeff Davis parole and probation page compares both systems. Do not send a probation question to the Board merely because CJAD appears under the TDCJ umbrella.
Multi-County Supervision Records
A useful public record may confirm the department assignment, supervision start, court, cause number, broad status, and end date when those facts are releasable. Personal case notes, treatment details, victim information, residence data, and other protected supervision material may be withheld. Ask for defined existing fields rather than a narrative about the person.
Provide the full legal name, date of birth, court, cause number, judgment date, and Jeff Davis County connection. Ask the department to identify the correct office or records custodian. The project research does not publish a verified central street address, telephone number, public counter hours, or fee for this eight-county department. Those facts should be confirmed through the official CJAD directory or the sentencing court before visiting or sending funds.
Multi-County Status Meanings
“Active” generally means the supervision term remains open, but it does not reveal compliance with every condition. “Transferred” can mean another office or jurisdiction now handles day-to-day supervision while the original court retains legal authority. “Revoked” means the court acted to end community supervision and impose the consequence stated in its order. “Discharged” or “terminated” should be read from the exact record and date.
A person can leave Presidio County Jail on bond and later receive probation, but the jail-door release and probation start are different events. A person may also begin probation without a recent jail stay. Conversely, an alleged violation can lead to a warrant or new custody before the court holds a revocation proceeding. Keep the jail, court, and supervision timestamps distinct.
Multi-County Violation Records
An allegation that a condition was violated is not the same as a final court finding. Look for a motion to revoke or adjudicate, warrant or capias entry, hearing record, and signed order. A CSCD report may lead to court action, but the docket establishes what the judge did. If a person is taken into custody, ask the holding jail whether another agency or case also placed a hold.
No public Jeff Davis absconder list was found. An old arrest item or an unverified account should not be used to declare that a warrant is active. Confirm through the issuing court and appropriate law-enforcement channel. If the court continues, modifies, or revokes supervision, preserve the order date and compare it with the later custody event.
Texas Community Supervision Law
Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 42A governs Texas community supervision. Its provisions address court authority, conditions, modification, revocation, and other sentence-specific matters. The exact offense, judgment, and offense date matter. A brief directory entry cannot replace the signed judgment and later orders.
Government Code Chapter 509 establishes the state community-justice framework and CJAD oversight. That state relationship does not turn local CSCD staff into parole officers. The TDCJ comparison of parole and probation expressly identifies local CSCD staff as judicial-district employees. Use that distinction when routing a request.
Multi-County Records Requests
The Texas Public Information Act covers existing governmental records subject to its exceptions. A narrow request can ask for public fields showing the court, cause, supervision start, current broad status, transfer, and completion or discharge date. Request nonconfidential portions if some material must be withheld.
Government Code Section 552.221 requires prompt production as soon as possible within a reasonable time. It does not guarantee all records in ten business days. Charges follow the Attorney General cost rules and the actual work required. No local CSCD fee or turnaround is documented in the research. Ask for an estimate above a chosen amount and confirm the accepted request address.
Multi-County Discharge Proof
Completion can appear in the supervision record, a court order, or both. Ask for the exact end date and label. Early termination, expiration after successful completion, revocation, and transfer are not interchangeable. A closed supervision file also does not erase the underlying court judgment or jail event.
Texas expunction under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A and nondisclosure under Government Code Chapter 411 are separate, technical remedies. Release or successful probation does not by itself make a case eligible. Respect a sealed, restricted, juvenile, expunged, or nondisclosed record. Do not treat a missing public entry as proof that no custody or supervision event occurred.
Jeff Davis Supervision Chain
A clear Jeff Davis timeline can include arrest by the Jeff Davis County Sheriff, housing at Presidio County Jail, release on bond, court disposition, and community supervision through the CSCD. Each step has a different custodian. The Sheriff records the local arrest and handoff. Presidio records physical confinement and release. The clerk holds the legal case. The CSCD holds the supervision record.
The Jeff Davis County release search covers the custody portions. If the judgment shows a TDCJ sentence followed by parole, move to TDCJ and Monahans instead of the CSCD. If it shows federal or immigration control, use that named system. One agency's closed event never proves that every other case or custodian is closed.
