How to Find Montgomery County Inmates

There are a few ways to search the Montgomery County inmate population. You can call the jail at (936) 760-5800, use the TarmacTech visitation portal for online inmate lookups, or search case records through the Tyler Odyssey system for individuals whose cases have reached the court level.

When you call or search online, have the person's full legal name ready. A date of birth helps narrow results, especially for common names. If you already have a booking number, that is the fastest path. Jail staff and online systems can tell you if someone is in custody, what charges they face, and whether bond is set. They cannot share home addresses or medical details.

Montgomery County Inmate Population and State Records

Once someone from Montgomery County is convicted and given a state sentence, they are transferred from the county jail to a TDCJ facility. At that point, the local jail no longer has current information. Use the TDCJ Offender Search to find state prison inmates. You can search by name, TDCJ number, or State ID number.

TDCJ results show the facility where the person is held, the crimes they were convicted of, the length of their sentence, and their projected release date. Given Montgomery County's large and growing population, a significant number of convicted offenders move into the TDCJ system each year. If someone is no longer showing up in local jail records, TDCJ is the right place to check next.
