Verify Coastal Bend Release

To find someone released from Coastal Bend Detention Center, identify the federal or immigration agency that controls the case. The Robstown facility is a contract detention site, not the Nueces County Jail. A federal pretrial detainee is usually traced through the federal court and U.S. Marshals Service, while the Bureau of Prisons locator becomes useful after commitment to BOP. ICE has a separate current-detainee locator. A move among those custodians is a transfer, so release must be confirmed from the final agency record and legal order.

Coastal Bend Custody Determines Release

Coastal Bend Detention Center is at 4909 FM 2826 in Robstown. It is a private contract facility operated by GEO Group and used for federal and immigration detainees. Contract populations can change. The current responsible agency for the named person, not the building operator alone, determines where release information comes from.

The official USMS agreement identifies Coastal Bend and Nueces County Jail within a federal detention arrangement. A person may be held before trial, during transport, after a court order, or while another agency prepares a transfer. Leaving the Robstown building can mean movement to another detention site rather than freedom.

Confirm the receiving custodian before calling a facility departure a community release.


Trace a Coastal Bend Exit

Build the timeline from the federal case and agency identifiers. A BOP register number is useful only when BOP has a record. An ICE A-number is useful after immigration custody begins. A federal case number connects the court orders that govern pretrial detention or release.

  1. Confirm whether USMS, BOP, or ICE currently controls the person.
  2. Search the federal docket for detention, bond, sentencing, commitment, or release orders.
  3. Use BOP only for a person committed to that system and read the location label with the date.
  4. Use ICE ODLS only after a verified immigration transfer and treat a no-result cautiously.
  5. Ask the responsible custodian for the movement or release record and destination.

NCSO cannot supply the full federal record just because Coastal Bend is in Nueces County. Likewise, the facility operator cannot replace the federal court's legal order or a federal agency's custody history.


Coastal Bend Facility Contact

The facility address identifies the local detention site, while the federal docket or responsible agency identifies legal custody. Verify current contact and visitation details through the agency before traveling because contract assignments and procedures can change.

Coastal Bend Detention Center
4909 FM 2826
Robstown, TX 78380
Type: federal contract detention
Operator: GEO Group
Possible custodians: USMS or ICE

For a USMS pretrial matter, use the federal court case and the responsible marshal. For immigration custody, use ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations and the official detainee locator. BOP applies after federal commitment, not merely because a person is held under federal authority.


USMS Release at Coastal Bend

USMS ordinarily controls federal pretrial detainees and their movements. A person held at Coastal Bend may never become a BOP prisoner. Court-ordered bond, detention, removal, or release will appear in the federal case, while USMS holds the operational custody detail.

Search the docket for the matching defendant and case. Read detention and release orders, bond conditions, sentencing entries, commitment papers, and later warrants in date order. A signed release order may authorize departure, but the operational movement record confirms when USMS carried it out and whether another agency took custody.

A county roster is not a federal archive. If the person moved from Nueces County Jail to Coastal Bend, NCSO can document its own transfer out. The federal custodian controls the next leg.


BOP Records After Coastal Bend

The BOP Inmate Locator covers federal inmates and release records for people released after 1982. Search by register number for the strongest match or use biographical fields. BOP states that a past release date with no listed facility means the person was released from BOP custody on that date. A location of `RELEASED` carries the same custody meaning.

BOP displayCorrect reading
Past date and RELEASEDThe person is no longer in BOP custody as of the displayed date.
Future release dateA projection, not a completed release.
UNKNOWNThe confinement term is not determined in the locator.
IN TRANSITMovement status that may include a USMS removal; consult the court and marshal.
No resultDoes not rule out USMS pretrial or ICE custody.

A BOP release does not establish whether federal supervised release, state custody, or ICE detention followed. For pre-1982 releases, BOP directs researchers to the National Archives. Protected former-inmate records may require identity verification or authorization through federal FOIA.


ICE Custody After Coastal Bend

An immigration detainer can create a two-stage event. NCSO or USMS may release a person to ICE, which ends the first agency's custody but does not return the person to the community. The receiving event must then be followed through ICE.

ICE's Online Detainee Locator System is designed to find people currently detained by ICE. Search by A-number and country of birth or the permitted biographical combination. If someone is released on bond, recognizance, an order of supervision, removed, or transferred, the public locator may stop showing a current site.

A no-result is not a release certificate. Contact ERO, counsel, or the immigration court and review the release or removal papers. The locator does not provide a historical recent-release list for Coastal Bend.


Request Coastal Bend Release Records

Send each request to the sovereign that maintains the desired record. For USMS custody, identify the person, federal case, detention site, and date range, then ask for the existing movement or release information available under federal law. For BOP, use its FOIA route after checking the public locator. Personal files may require the former prisoner's authorization.

For ICE, identify the A-number and seek the applicable custody or release documentation through ICE channels. The immigration court record may show the legal order, while ERO holds operational detention information. A facility inquiry alone may not yield protected agency records.

NCSO can produce only its own earlier county custody event. That record can show delivery to a federal or immigration authority but cannot certify the later federal release. Keep each response in one timeline and note which agency created it.


After a Coastal Bend Release

A federal court release can carry bond conditions, and a BOP prison release can be followed by federal supervised release. ICE release may carry reporting terms or an order of supervision. Those legal conditions come from the court or responsible agency, not from the public facility address.

Confirm pickup and property procedures directly before travel. The research does not establish a standard public discharge time, exit door, waiting place, or transit plan for every custodian at Coastal Bend. A projected date can also change or lead to transfer.

The Nueces County released-inmate overview separates county, state, federal, and immigration channels. Coastal Bend requires that separation at every step: identify the sovereign, read its order, and verify the last custody event.


Reconcile Coastal Bend Status

Federal systems can appear to conflict because they cover different stages. A docket may show a release order while processing continues. BOP may show no result because USMS controls a pretrial detainee. ICE ODLS may show a detention site only after ICE accepts custody. Date every result and tie it to the agency that supplied it.

Record the federal case number, BOP register number, A-number, and facility only when each belongs to the same person. Then list the court order, agency movement, arrival at the next site, and final release. If BOP displays IN TRANSIT, consult USMS and the docket rather than converting that label into a release. If ICE no longer returns a match, seek ERO, counsel, or court paperwork.

BOP warns that IN TRANSIT can include a pretrial person removed by USMS and later released by a court without further BOP notice. That is especially important at a contract site. The docket may explain the order while the marshal supplies the physical movement.

For a formal history, request records separately from USMS, BOP, or ICE. Their responses may use different exemptions and identity checks. NCSO can verify only an earlier county handoff. A precise agency-by-agency trail is stronger than one locator screen.


Coastal Bend Identity Checks

Federal and immigration systems use different identifiers. A federal criminal case number connects the judicial record. A BOP register number connects a committed prisoner to the locator. An A-number connects an immigration record. Do not merge people because a name, age, or detention city looks similar.

For BOP, compare register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location as available. For ICE, use the A-number with country of birth when known. For USMS, tie the person to the exact federal docket and detention order. If a record is protected, the agency may require identity proof or authorization from the former detainee.

The date sequence should show arrival at Coastal Bend, the controlling agency, any court or agency order, departure from the facility, destination, and later release. A gap should remain labeled as unknown until an official response fills it. Geographic presence in Robstown does not turn the event into a Nueces County jail release.
