Seadrift Police Release Routes
The project research identifies Seadrift Police Department as a municipal police and arresting agency. It did not locate a separate public Seadrift jail or release database. That negative finding sets the correct search order. If the person was booked at the Calhoun County Adult Detention Center, the official county Released mode is the primary proof that local custody ended.
A Calhoun released detail can state admit and release dates and times, the confining agency, how released, release reason, and the agencies tied to the charge and arrest. A county “Release to street” entry differs from a transfer. Read the exact words. If no county booking exists, contact the Seadrift agency for its custody or release record and check the court that handled the case.
Municipal arrest does not mean municipal long-term confinement. Likewise, a Calhoun record may name Seadrift as the arresting or charging agency while naming the sheriff as confining agency. The office that confined the person owns the jail release event.
Confirm a Seadrift Police Release
Use the identifiers produced by the original event. A full name is a start, but a Name ID, docket number, booking number, arrest date, or birth date can separate similar records. Search the custody source before inferring release from a person's absence.
- Open the Calhoun Adult Detention Center page and follow its official inmate-system link.
- Select Released mode. Search the name, a charge description, or an appropriate number of days.
- Open the matching detail and compare arresting, charging, and confining agencies. Record the docket number and exact release fields.
- If Seadrift made the arrest but Calhoun confined the person, request any missing jail release record from the sheriff or detention center.
- If no Calhoun booking occurred, request the municipal custody or release record from Seadrift Police Department and verify the case in court.
The full county search and records-request sequence appears on the Calhoun County released inmates page. That route also explains older records that no longer return online.
Seadrift Arrest and Custody Fields
Calhoun's unusually detailed release record helps route a Seadrift case. Do not collapse its agency fields into one label. Each field points to a different office or record.
| Calhoun field | How it helps with a Seadrift case |
|---|---|
| Arresting Agency | May identify Seadrift Police Department as the office that made the arrest. |
| Charging Agency | Identifies the agency linked to the filed charge in the jail record. |
| Confining Agency | Shows which agency held the person and owns the custody release event. |
| Court Type | Routes the reader toward the correct Calhoun court or clerk. |
| Docket Number | Connects the booking to the lasting judicial record. |
| How Released | Describes the physical custody path, including a street release or transfer. |
| Release Reason | States the operational basis without deciding the underlying case. |
A live research observation paired “Release to street” with “To Bond.” That neutral example shows why both release fields matter. Bond ended the jail hold, but it did not dismiss the charge or settle guilt.
Seadrift Police Records Contact
The official source inventory did not establish a separate Seadrift detention-center address, release-desk phone, public release hours, or online roster. Those details must not be guessed. Use the county's official law-enforcement directory to reach the current municipal agency listing, and direct a county-booking request to the actual county custodian.
Verified Records Routes
Seadrift agency route: Calhoun County law-enforcement directory
County jail: Calhoun County Adult Detention Center
302 W. Live Oak, Port Lavaca, TX 77979
Phone: 361-553-4475
Ask for a defined record: municipal custody log, arrest record, Calhoun booking/release sheet, custody-history printout, transfer record, or the related court order. Give the full name, approximate arrest and release dates, and identifiers. If transfer is possible, ask for the receiving agency.
A general fee schedule does not prove the price of a specific record. The sheriff's official page links the current schedule, but the custodian should identify any applicable charge before fulfillment. Texas Public Information Act procedures can also permit redaction or withholding under specific law.
Note: Verify current municipal contact details through the official directory before sending a request because no separate release desk was documented.
Seadrift Court Record Follow-Up
The jail release reason does not replace the judicial record. Search the Calhoun Tyler Odyssey portal for the case. County Court at Law No. 1 instructs a person with only part of a name to add an asterisk and search Last Name, First Name. A docket number from the release detail is better when available.
Read the register of actions and filed orders for bond, dismissal, plea, judgment, sentence, credit for time served, probation, revocation, or discharge. A bond release leaves the criminal case open unless the court record shows a later disposition. A time-served entry can finish the custodial part while other obligations remain.
Misdemeanor matters route through the County Clerk and County Court at Law. Felony matters route through the District Clerk and district court. If a municipal-only case does not appear where expected, ask Seadrift Police Department which court received the filing rather than assuming the record vanished.
Seadrift Transfers Are Not Releases
Leaving Calhoun County custody can start another custody event. A person transferred to TDCJ becomes a state prisoner. Use the TDCJ number or SID, the current-prisoner search, TDCJ IVSS, Board information, and state records. The county detail should be read as the end of local custody, not proof of return to Seadrift.
A federal case follows other channels. Calhoun County lies in the USMS Southern District of Texas, and USMS has no general public release locator. Use a federal court order and the relevant custodian for pretrial release. The BOP locator applies after a person enters federal prison custody.
ICE custody is separate as well. A county release to an immigration detainer can end sheriff custody while federal civil detention continues. Search ICE ODLS and contact ICE when needed. The county release and later ICE release carry different dates and authorities.
ICE Holds After Seadrift Arrests
Research Section 19 highlights a key facility-page issue: a Calhoun jail departure can be followed by immigration custody. ICE's current materials say its Online Detainee Locator may show some people released from ICE within 60 days, although the locator centers on present custody and can omit or delay records. A no-result is inconclusive.
Search ODLS by a nine-digit A-number and country of birth, or by exact name and birth information. If the Calhoun record names a transfer but the locator does not resolve it, ask the county for the receiving agency and contact ICE's Detention Reporting and Information Line. Do not merge the two events.
The key sequence is Seadrift arrest, possible Calhoun booking, county release or transfer, and any later immigration outcome. Each stage belongs to its own agency. The criminal court case can also continue despite a custody transfer.
Note: “Released” from Calhoun County states only what happened to sheriff custody, not whether another agency assumed control.
About Seadrift Police Custody
Seadrift Police Department is documented here as a municipal arresting agency, not as a verified long-term detention facility with its own public release archive. That classification controls the page. County booking evidence should come from Calhoun County. A brief municipal hold with no county booking should be confirmed with Seadrift and the receiving court.
No official source reviewed for the project supplied a universal release time, exit point, pickup area, property-return procedure, capacity, or daily municipal release schedule. Those negative findings are meaningful. They prevent unsupported local detail from being published as fact.
For any record, preserve agency wording. “How Released,” “Release Reason,” and “Confining Agency” are factual database fields. They should not be converted into a claim about the case's result. The court judgment or dismissal order answers that separate question.
