VINE (Victim Information and Notification Every day)
VINE is a free and anonymous telephone service that provides victims of crime information and notification regarding offenders in the county jail. Texas VINE will automatically notify registered persons via a toll-free number and website of suspect/offender status in the following situations:
- The suspect/offender is released or transferred
- A court event has been set or changed
- There is a change in custody status, such as death or escape
You can register for notification (phone, email, text) of a defendant’s release by calling 1-877-TX4-VINE (1-877-894-8463) or online at www.vinelink.com.
For information about offenders who are in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) custody or on parole/mandatory supervision, contact TDCJ Victim Services Division at (800) 848-4284 or by email at victim.svc@tdcj.texas.gov
While Texas VINE is a valuable informational tool, it isn’t a guarantee of safety.
