Find inmate records for any of Texas’s 254 county jail systems. Browse by name or use the filter to find your county instantly.
Texas operates 254 separate county jail systems, each independently run by the elected county sheriff and regulated by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards (TCJS). With such a large and decentralized network, locating the right county jail and inmate roster quickly requires a reliable directory. Every Texas county is listed below with a direct link to that county page, which includes the official inmate search system, sheriff phone number, and step-by-step guidance.
For the 20 Texas counties that do not operate their own jail (Armstrong, Borden, Briscoe, Coke, Concho, Cottle, Foard, Floyd, Glasscock, Hartley, Irion, Jeff Davis, Kenedy, Kent, King, Loving, McMullen, Motley, Sterling, and Throckmorton), each county page shows exactly which neighboring facility holds their inmates under a TCJS-approved intergovernmental contract.
If you are not sure which county to search, call our free 24/7 line at (346) 352-1115. Our agents search all 254 Texas county systems simultaneously and can locate most inmates within minutes, even across county lines or after recent jail transfers.
Texas arrests are booked in the county where the arrest occurred, not where the person lives. If you know the city, find the county using the filter below. Border cities like Texarkana, El Paso, and Texline span multiple counties or states, so confirm the county with the arresting agency before searching.
