How to Find Terry County Inmates

Call the Terry County Sheriff's Office at (806) 637-3611 to check on current inmate population status. Phone is the main search option for this county. Staff handle lookups during business hours and can confirm custody status, current charges, and bond information.

When you call, give the full legal name of the person you are looking for. If you have a date of birth, include that too since it cuts down on ambiguity. Booking numbers make lookups even faster when you have them. Note that someone who was just arrested may not appear in the system yet, since booking takes a few hours to process. If you do not get a result right away, try again later in the day.

If the person was booked but you want to visit them, ask about current visitation schedules when you call. Visitation hours and rules at small county jails can change, so calling ahead is a good idea. The Sheriff's Office can also tell you how to put money on an inmate's account if needed.
