Search Texas County Jail Custody

Texas County Jail Overview

Texas County Jail is operated by the Texas County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff page identifies Sheriff Matt Boley, lists Undersheriff Benji Fuentes, and states that the sheriff has power and authority to operate the county jail. That duty matters because arrests made by deputies, Guymon police, Hooker police, Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers, and other local officers can move into the sheriff's detention process when the case is an adult local jail matter.

The jail serves adult pretrial detainees, local short-sentence prisoners, warrant arrests, court commitments, and holds that need a county jail bed while a Texas County case is pending. It should not be confused with an Oklahoma Department of Corrections prison. A person sentenced to state prison after judgment moves to ODOC custody and must be checked through the state offender lookup, not through the county jail. Juveniles also require a different process and should not be treated as adult roster entries.

The official Texas County materials reviewed did not publish a separate detention division page, live booking list, public inmate profile page, jail administrator name, or posted adult jail capacity. That absence changes how a Texas County Jail lookup should start. Instead of clicking a county roster, the verified local channel is the sheriff's main contact block and, when a record copy is needed, an Oklahoma Open Records Act request for jail register or booking information.

The official sheriff page is the source-matched county page for the jail operator and contact details.

Because that official page gives contact information but no public jail roster link, the sheriff's office remains the first local stop for current Texas County Jail custody questions.

Texas County Jail Lookup Chain

No official Texas County online jail roster, inmate search form, recent booking report, or mugshot gallery was located on the county website or sheriff page. The adult jail page should lead with that fact because it affects every search. A current custody check starts with the sheriff's office by phone or in person. If the question is not just "is this person in jail today" but "what record exists," the next step is a records request for jail register or booking information under Oklahoma public-records law.

After the local custody check, the search branches by system. ODCR and OSCN show Texas County District Court records after charges, warrants, bonds, or hearings are filed. ODOC covers sentenced state prisoners after transfer. VINE is useful for custody notification where supported, but it is not the county jail register. BOP and ICE are separate federal and immigration systems, and neither should be treated as proof that Texas County Jail is holding the person.

1. Call the Texas County Sheriff's Office at 580-338-4000 or visit during posted office hours to ask whether the person is currently housed at Texas County Jail.
2. Provide a full legal name, spelling variants, date of birth or age, arrest date, arresting agency, and any Texas County District Court case number.
3. If a record copy is needed, ask how to submit an Oklahoma Open Records Act request for jail register, booking, or mugshot records.
4. Search ODCR and OSCN for filed court charges, bond entries, warrants, hearings, and dispositions.
5. Use ODOC Offender Lookup only after a person may have been sentenced or transferred to state custody.
6. Use Oklahoma VINE for custody notification, then use BOP or ICE if federal or immigration custody is possible.

Note: A very recent arrest may not be confirmable until transport, identity checks, booking, hold review, and court paperwork have progressed.

Texas County Jail Contact

The sheriff contact block is the verified public contact for Texas County Jail questions. The official page publishes office hours as 0800 to 1700 and says closed noon. It does not publish a separate jail information line, booking desk extension, visitation desk number, or after-hours bond window. For that reason, callers should start with the main number and ask for jail records, booking, visitation, or the records custodian as needed.

For court records after a jail arrest, the Texas County Court Clerk is separate from the jail. The clerk's office is at the courthouse on N. Main in Guymon and is the office tied to filed District Court records. The jail can confirm custody and booking routing; the court clerk and online court systems handle filed charges, case numbers, future hearing dates, bonds shown in the docket, and certified court copies.

Texas County Jail Population

Texas County does not publish a live jail dashboard or official current adult jail capacity in the sheriff materials reviewed. The best sourced population points are older or external. Prisoners of the Census lists Texas County Detention Center with 60 local persons from source data dated 12/31/2013. Vera Institute's People in Jail and Prison 2022 data lists Texas County Sheriff's Department, Oklahoma, with a jail population of 43 in 2021-q4. Those are population markers, not a live roster count.

Texas County Jail Visitation

Texas County-specific public visitation hours were not published on the official sheriff page reviewed. Oklahoma jail standards provide the statewide framework that detention facilities must have written policies for visitation and correspondence, but they do not supply the local Texas County schedule. Visitors should call before traveling, especially because Guymon serves a large rural county and trips from Hooker, Goodwell, Texhoma, Tyrone, Hardesty, or Optima can take meaningful time.

Use the status table as a verification checklist, not as a schedule. A visitor should confirm whether the jail is allowing public visits, whether visits are in person or video, what government photo ID is required, whether children may attend, and what items must be left outside the secure area. Attorney visits are usually handled apart from public visitation, but Texas County did not publish a local attorney visit procedure in the sources reviewed.

Note: Confirm custody and visitation status with the jail the same day you plan to travel to S. Ellison in Guymon.

Texas County Jail Money

The only confirmed vendor page located for Texas County Jail services is Tiger Commissary for Texas County OK Jail. The page confirms Web Deposits and Order Commissary options. The research did not locate an official jail kiosk policy, phone deposit option, money order policy, commissary fee schedule, or phone/video vendor. Because vendor pages can change, a user should confirm the person is housed at Texas County Jail before placing money or ordering items.

The Tiger Commissary Texas County OK Jail page is the subject-matched vendor source for deposits and commissary ordering.

The vendor page supports the money section, but it does not replace a custody check with the sheriff's office before payment or ordering.

Mail rules were also not posted in the official Texas County sources reviewed. Before mailing anything, call the jail and ask whether mail is accepted at the S. Ellison address, whether an inmate ID or booking number is required, and whether the jail has limits on photos, books, postcards, envelopes, or third-party packages. Unsupported mail rules were intentionally left out because the research did not verify them.

Texas County Jail Booking

A typical Texas County adult jail case starts with arrest or warrant service, then transport to the sheriff facility if the matter belongs in local adult custody. During booking, jail staff record identity, commitment date, cause of commitment, committing authority, criminal-offense status, physical description, and related jail register information. Fingerprints, property inventory, screening, charge or hold entry, bond routing, and housing placement may also occur, but the county did not publish a local booking workflow or timing standard.

Oklahoma public-record guidance treats jail register and booking information as law-enforcement records available for public inspection unless an exception applies. The record may include the person's name, date and cause of commitment, the authority committing the person, whether the commitment is tied to a criminal offense, and descriptive prisoner information. Booking charges are not always the same as final court charges. The prosecutor may decline, amend, reduce, or add charges later, and the court docket is the place to follow filed case activity.

Booking

The jail intake event where identity, arrest information, property, photo, and charges or holds are recorded.

Jail register

The booking or blotter record kept when a person is incarcerated in the county jail.

Detainer

A hold from another agency or jurisdiction that may block release even when local bond is posted.

Filed charge

The formal charge placed in a court case, which can differ from the arrest charge used at booking.

Texas County Jail Records

The Oklahoma Open Records Act is the baseline law for requesting public records from Oklahoma public bodies. For jail records, the key law-enforcement access point is 51 O.S. Section 24A.8, summarized in Oklahoma Attorney General guidance as covering jail registers, jail blotter data, and jail booking information recorded at incarceration. Oklahoma Senate research also summarizes Attorney General Opinion 2012-22 as treating booking photographs as generally public records because they accurately describe an arrestee's physical features.

That does not mean every custody detail is public or online. Juvenile records, sealed or expunged material, medical and mental-health information, some victim or witness details, and active investigative material may be restricted or redacted. A narrow request is more useful than a broad one. Include the person's name, date of birth or age, arrest date, arresting agency, case number if known, and the precise record sought, such as a jail register entry, booking sheet, or booking photograph.

Texas County Jail History

Texas County's jail history has a specific Guymon detail. The county's historic courthouse at 319 N. Main opened in 1927. The county history says the fourth floor used to function as a jail, but that floor is now storage because a new jail was built. That gives local context for why current jail questions route to the sheriff facility on S. Ellison rather than the courthouse address used for the court clerk and district attorney.

Texas County is a large rural Panhandle county. Official county history lists Guymon and Hooker as cities and Goodwell, Hardesty, Optima, Texhoma, and Tyrone as towns. Distance matters for custody and visitation questions. A caller should confirm the facility, visit status, and any required ID before driving from an outlying community, especially on court days when courthouse and jail business may overlap.
