Lewisville Police Department Jail Custody Search
The Lewisville Police Department operates a city jail and provides an online custody search tool for the public. You can look up current inmates at the Lewisville jail custody search portal.

The Lewisville jail custody search lets you find people currently in custody at the Lewisville city detention facility without having to call the jail.
The city's online custody tool is updated regularly and is the fastest way to check the current Lewisville jail population.
City of Lewisville general information and police department contacts are on the main City of Lewisville website. The non-emergency line for Lewisville Police is (972) 219-3600. For arrests in progress or active emergencies, call 911.
The custody search portal shows people who are currently in the Lewisville facility. It does not show historical inmates who have already been released. If you need records for someone who was previously in custody but is no longer listed, you need to submit a formal public records request to the department's records division.
When Lewisville Inmates Transfer to Denton County
Some people arrested in Lewisville are transferred to the Denton County Jail rather than staying in the city facility. This can happen when county charges are filed, when a case is transferred to county court, or when the city jail is at capacity. Lewisville is in Denton County, so the county jail in Denton is the secondary place to check.
The Denton County Jail is at 127 N. Woodrow Lane, Denton, TX 76205. The Denton County Sheriff's Office main number is (940) 349-1700. Denton County also has an online records search at the county's judicial and law enforcement records portal. If someone is not showing up in the Lewisville city custody system, check Denton County next.
Keep in mind that transfers between city and county custody do not always come with advance notice. A person may be in city custody one day and county custody the next, especially as cases progress through the court system. Checking both systems is the safest approach when a first search turns up nothing.
