The county does not currently post a public online jail roster on its official website.

Searching Texas County Recent Bookings

Texas County Sheriff's Office does not maintain a public online jail roster on the official county website at texascountyok.org. The most reliable way to check on a recent booking is to call the sheriff's office directly at 580-338-4000. Staff can search the jail roster by name and confirm whether a specific person is in custody, when they were booked, and what charges apply. Bond information is available once the court has set it. Have the person's full legal name ready, along with a date of birth if you have one.

Texas County is part of the Oklahoma Panhandle, a narrow strip of land that runs along the Kansas and Colorado borders to the north and the New Mexico border to the west. The county draws bookings from the Guymon Police Department, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, and county sheriff's deputies. All of these agencies route arrests to the county jail at 1102 South Ellison Street in Guymon.

Third-party public records aggregators sometimes post Texas County booking data, though coverage of panhandle counties can be inconsistent. Use these sites as a starting point, and confirm current status with the sheriff's office. Once charges are filed with the District Court, cases appear on the Oklahoma State Courts Network at OSCN.net, where you can search Texas County cases by name at no cost.

OSCN at oscn.net provides free access to Texas County court cases tied to recent bookings once charges are filed with the District Court.

What to Expect When You Call Texas County Jail

When you call the Texas County Sheriff's Office at 580-338-4000, a staff member will search the jail roster by name. They can confirm custody status, the booking date, and the charges on file. Bond status is available once set. Texas County is a mid-sized panhandle county with a population centered in Guymon. The jail sees a consistent volume of bookings given the area's agricultural workforce and highway traffic on US-64 and other major routes.

If the person is not found at Texas County, it may mean they were released on bond, had charges resolved quickly, or were transferred. Texas County borders Cimarron County to the west, Beaver County to the east, and Harper County, Woodward County, and Ellis County to the south. Checking neighboring counties is worth doing if your search comes up empty in Guymon.

Note: Texhoma straddles the Oklahoma-Texas state line, and arrests in the Texas portion of Texhoma are handled by Texas authorities, not Oklahoma. If an arrest occurred on the Texas side of the line, look to Sherman County, Texas, not Texas County, Oklahoma.

What Texas County Booking Records Must Contain

Under Title 51 O.S. Section 24A.8 of the Oklahoma Open Records Act, county jails are required to maintain jail registers as public records. These registers must include the name of each person booked, the date and reason for commitment, the committing authority, whether the charge is criminal, a physical description, and the date of release or transfer. Texas County must maintain these records and make them available to the public upon request.

A complete Texas County booking record includes the person's name, booking number, the date and time of booking, the arresting agency, the specific charges or holds in place, date of birth, physical description, and bond status once set. Outstanding holds from other agencies, such as a parole revocation order from ODOC or a warrant from another jurisdiction, appear as detainers in the booking file. Court case numbers are added once the District Court processes the filing.

To request a printed copy of a Texas County booking record, submit a written Open Records request to the Texas County Sheriff's Office. Basic booking information is not exempt under Oklahoma law. The agency may charge a reasonable copying fee but cannot deny access without a lawful reason.

State Resources for Texas County Searches

When someone is convicted after a Texas County arrest and transferred to state prison, they leave the county roster. Use the Oklahoma Department of Corrections Offender Lookup at okoffender.doc.ok.gov to find state inmates by name, DOC number, or county. The ODOC portal at oklahoma.gov/doc/offender-info.html links to additional inmate tools, release information, and sex offender registration data.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation at osbi.ok.gov maintains statewide criminal history records. The CHIRP system allows name-based searches for arrest and disposition records from across Oklahoma.

For federal charges, the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator at bop.gov covers inmates at federal facilities. The sex offender registry at sors.doc.ok.gov is a separate tool for finding registered offenders in Texas County, searchable by name or location.
