Admit Date is the date the person was admitted to the jail. Primary Charge shows one charge when available. A dash means our roster had no charge to display for that entry. Listed by source means the person appeared in the Sheriff’s roster when we last updated our copy.
Look above the table for Last checked, the date of our last successful update. If you see Roster update failed, you’re searching the earlier copy. Latest attempt shows when we most recently tried to refresh it.

How to Send Mail to a Kaufman County Jail Inmate
Before sending a letter or photo, ask the jail for the current personal-mail address and the exact ID to put next to the recipient’s full name. For mail sent through the Sheriff’s scanning service, include a return address. Send up to five single-sided pages, each no larger than 8½ by 11 inches, and include at most one photo. The service destroys the originals after processing. Read the Sheriff’s inmate mail instructions.
Ask the jail for separate instructions for legal or medical mail, books, newspapers, magazines, or bulk mail. You can also use your NCIC account to send an electronic message or photo.
Putting Money on an Inmate’s Account
The Sheriff lists Tiger Correctional Services for trust deposits and commissary orders. Look for Kaufman County Detention Center, Kaufman, TX in Tiger. If the facility page doesn’t open, call the jail to confirm your deposit options. Use your NCIC account to fund calls.
The Sheriff also accepts money orders by mail or in person. Make the money order payable to the person in custody, add the purchaser’s address and signature, and leave the endorsement line blank. If you’re sending it by mail, confirm the mailing address with the jail first.
