Most county jails and state prisons have moved to electronic data searches. It would appear that Hidalgo County jail is one of these. This means you can look up a particular inmate provided you have at least the inmate’s last name, first initial and Texas Department of Criminal Justice Number (TDCJ) or State Identification Number (SID). An inmate search will reveal information like the inmate’s offence or conviction, incarceration history and projected release date. This information is public record and therefore not sensitive information. Some county jails and sheriff’s departments do print inmate lists with this information online. For a full list of inmates at the Hidalgo County jail, you could try requesting one directly from the Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office or Adult Detention Center by post at: Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office
