The Nueces County Sheriff's Office publishes inmate information through its official website, nuecesco.com. You can also call the jail at (361) 887-2300. The county runs two jail sites: the main Nueces County Jail at 901 Leopard St. and the McKinzie Jail Annex at 745 North Padre Island Drive. Recent bookings may take a few hours to appear online.
