How to Find Scurry County Inmates

Since there is no self-service online roster for Scurry County, a phone call to the Sheriff's Office is the direct path to checking the local inmate population. Call (325) 573-3531 and ask the staff to check on a specific person.

Give them the full legal name and date of birth. A booking number also helps if you have it. Staff will check the system and tell you if the person is currently in custody, what charges they are facing, and whether a bond has been set. They will not give out home addresses, medical details, or case investigation notes.

If the person does not appear in local records but was recently arrested in the area, a few things could explain it. They might have been transported to a neighboring county facility, moved to a state intake center, or released before you checked. If several days have passed since the arrest and you still find nothing locally, use the TDCJ Offender Search to check the state prison system.
