Official Ector County Contacts
For a county booking record, arrest paperwork, release paperwork, or bonding information, the county directs requesters to the Sheriff. The Ector County Sheriff’s Office is located at 2500 S. U.S. Highway 385, Odessa, TX 79766, and its main number is 432-335-3050. The Sheriff’s mailing address is P.O. Box 2066, Odessa, TX 79760. County contact cards use both 79764 and 79766 for the physical complex, so call before mailing a request. Sheriff administration hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday except county holidays.
The Ector County Detention Center is at the Law Enforcement Center complex. Its detention line is 432-335-3060 and the county lists detention as open 24 hours a day. The jail mailing address is P.O. Box 331, Odessa, TX 79760. Criminal Identification and Records requests are reached through the Sheriff’s main number. The county materials list lupe.bretado@ectorcountysheriff.us for the ID&R public-records contact.
For general county public-information matters, the Public Information Office lists 300 N. Grant Avenue, Room 227, Odessa, TX 79761, pir@ectorcountytx.gov, and the county’s public-information portal. It separately directs arrest and booking requests to the Sheriff, so use the Sheriff or ID&R route for a specific detention record.
