Have the person's full name ready before you call, and a date of birth if you have it. Staff can confirm whether the person is in custody, what they are charged with, and whether a bond amount has been set. They will not share protected details like medical information.

The Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office page on the county website has contact information, general office hours, and information about jail services. It is a useful first stop before you call.

How to Find Ochiltree County Inmates

Since there is no online search for the Ochiltree County inmate population, your best option is to call (806) 435-8000 during business hours. The jail is staffed at all hours but administrative staff who handle records requests may only be available during regular office hours.

When you call, give the person's full legal name and, if possible, their date of birth. The staff can tell you if that person is currently in custody at the Ochiltree County jail. If they are not in the local system, the person may have been transferred, released, or arrested in another county. If you think they were convicted and sent to a state facility, use the TDCJ Offender Search listed in the state resources section below.

You can also make a written records request under the Texas Public Information Act. That process is covered in the public records section further down this page. Written requests work best when you need copies of actual documents like booking sheets, arrest reports, or jail logs rather than a simple yes-or-no on custody status.
