Cold Springs Release Claims
Cold Springs appears in county sources as part of a detention system whose functions have changed over time. Central intake still occurs at the Corrections Center. A labor-detail or Cold Springs reference can describe an assignment or operating site, but it does not create a new booking or a distinct historical record custodian.
A departure can end in the community after bond, time served, or a court order. It can also end in another jail, TDCJ, federal custody, or immigration custody. Transfer closes one TCSO custody entry but does not mean the person is free. Ask for the actual book-out time, release disposition, and disclosed receiving agency. Those fields clarify what happened after the person left the Corrections Center ledger.
Verify Cold Springs Custody
The official TCSO Inmate Search accepts a last name, first name, county identification number, race, and sex. Its result shows identity fields and an "In Custody?" value. It is useful for determining whether TCSO currently reports the person, but it does not provide a historical release date, release reason, or a verified destination.
Use the search in this order:
- Search the exact name and try the county identification number when known.
- Record the booking number and dates from reliable paperwork instead of relying on a screen capture alone.
- If the name is absent, request the booking-specific book-in and book-out transaction from Sheriff Records.
- When the disposition is transfer, continue with the named receiving agency's system.
- Check the court judgment or bond order when legal authority for the departure also matters.
The full county search and release-record path is explained on the Tarrant County released inmates search. That path is especially useful when the last custodian is unclear. Court proof is split by case type: the County Clerk handles Class A and B misdemeanor records, while the District Clerk handles felony records.
Cold Springs Booking Records
The TCSO public-records page routes detailed booking requests. A narrow request should identify the full name, date of birth or county identification number, booking number, and a short date range. Ask for public portions of the book-in and book-out timestamps, actual release date and time, release disposition, transfer destination if public, and the booking photograph only if it is needed.

Generally 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Requests may be filed through the county's JustFOIA route, mailed or delivered, or sent by ordinary unencrypted email. TCSO states that encrypted email will not be opened. Request public and redacted portions rather than demanding a broad compilation. Texas law allows exceptions for protected information, and no official source reviewed promises a fixed completion date or a specific retention period for every release record.
A former inmate seeking a simple statement of personal jail dates may use the Letter of Incarceration process. The released person ordinarily must appear at Sheriff Records with valid state photo identification. Published hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with arrival by 4:50 p.m. A friend or family member generally cannot obtain that personal letter for someone already released.
No Cold Springs Release Roster
No official Cold Springs released-person roster was found, and none should be inferred from the site's labor-detail name. The TCSO current search is the first check. Sheriff Records is the historical route. A court record or receiving-agency record may also be needed when the central disposition says transfer.
Personal-bond paperwork should identify the next court location, date, and time. Keep that paperwork with the release record because it helps connect the custody event to the pending case. When a family member needs an operational update, call the jail information line rather than estimating a release hour. The official research did not establish a standard public pickup time, waiting area, rideshare point, or weekend procedure.
Note: The secured garage mentioned in jail history handles operations and is not published as a family pickup location.
Cold Springs Contact Details
Cold Springs operational questions may go to the Labor Detail line, but current custody still requires the TCSO search. Historical release proof belongs with central Sheriff Records.
Cold Springs Jail / Labor Detail
1813 to 1815 Cold Springs Road
Fort Worth, Texas
Labor Detail: 817-884-1638
Central jail information: 817-884-3000
The Corrections Center is the public anchor for a TCSO detention system that reports about 5,000 beds across five facilities. That system count does not include municipal jails, FMC Fort Worth, or the Fort Worth Transitional Center. A Fort Worth Police arrest can end before county transfer, so identify the arresting agency before assuming there must be a TCSO booking.
Cold Springs' Changing Role
Tarrant County jail history describes Cold Springs across several periods, including overflow jail use, storage, labor detail, renovation, and standby capacity. County sources also vary between 1813 and 1815 Cold Springs Road. Those nuances matter because a fixed description could quickly become false.
Cold Springs' changing overflow, labor-detail, storage, and standby functions make a central record essential. A site assignment is not a release record. TCSO's booking disposition establishes whether the person left county custody.
ICE Holds and Cold Springs
Tarrant County participates in the federal 287(g) program, and an ICE detainer can change the meaning of "released from county jail." According to ICE detainer information, the request asks a jail for advance notice and may seek custody for up to 48 additional hours. A TCSO book-out can therefore mark transfer to immigration custody rather than arrival in the community.
When the release disposition points to ICE, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. Search by A-number and country of birth, or by exact name and country, with date of birth when available. The locator excludes some cases, including people under 18, and can lag. ICE says some recently released people may remain searchable for up to 60 days. No result alone does not settle the custody question.
Note: A transfer record proves departure from TCSO, while the receiving agency establishes what happened next.
The two Cold Springs street-number references also make the booking identifier more reliable than an address alone. State both the site name and known date when contacting TCSO, then ask whether the entry reflects labor detail, overflow use, internal movement, or an actual county release.
