Marion County Inmate Population
Marion County's local custody map is unusually compact. The research found one local detention facility: Marion County Jail, operated by the Marion County Sheriff's Office. The jail is the local booking point for people arrested by the sheriff, city police, constables, DPS, or other agencies in Marion County. It holds people before release, bond, court action, or transfer, and it may also hold local convicted misdemeanants and people waiting on transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
The Marion County inmate population is not the same thing as a list of every person with a Marion County criminal case. A booking record starts at the jail. A court record starts when the prosecutor files charges. A sentenced prison record starts when a person is received by TDCJ. Those systems overlap, but each has a different purpose. The local jail count is reported to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, while sentenced state-prison custody belongs in the TDCJ inmate search.
Marion County Inmate Population Statistics
The latest TCJS current population spreadsheet available in the research was downloaded June 30, 2026 and carried a Marion County row dated June 1, 2026. That row reported 27 people in the jail against a rated capacity of 39 beds. The separate TCJS incarceration-rate spreadsheet reported an average daily population of 29 for the same date and a countywide population figure of 9,704 for rate purposes.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 39 beds | TCJS current population report, June 1, 2026 |
| Total jail population | 27 | TCJS current population report, June 1, 2026 |
| Percent of capacity | 69.23% | TCJS current population report, June 1, 2026 |
| Average daily population | 29 | TCJS incarceration-rate report, June 1, 2026 |
| Incarceration rate | 2.99 | TCJS incarceration-rate report, June 1, 2026 |
The TCJS population report page is the official source used for the jail figures.
The TCJS source matters because it separates jail capacity, current population, and incarceration-rate data instead of treating the roster as the only measure.
Marion County Inmate Population Trends
TCJS rate data shows Marion County's average daily population moving down from the mid-30s in late 2023 to the high-20s in 2025 and 2026. The research did not find a sheriff annual report, a local policy memo, or a court order explaining the shift. The supported statement is narrow: the official rate spreadsheet reports lower ADP figures in 2025 and 2026 than the 35 reported on October 1, 2023.
| Date | Average Daily Population | Incarceration Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Oct. 1, 2023 | 35 | 3.66 |
| Jan. 1, 2024 | 34 | 3.55 |
| Jun. 1, 2024 | 34 | 3.55 |
| Jan. 1, 2025 | 32 | 3.34 |
| Jun. 1, 2025 | 29 | 2.99 |
| Jan. 1, 2026 | 28 | 2.89 |
| Jun. 1, 2026 | 29 | 2.99 |
Marion County Jail Population Makeup
The June 1, 2026 TCJS category data shows why a Marion County jail roster can include more than fresh arrests. The largest reported groups were local male pretrial felons and local male convicted felons or parole violators sentenced to TDCJ divisions, SAFP, or ISF and waiting on movement. The row also included parole-violation categories, one state-jail-felony pretrial category, and a small number of women in felony or transfer categories.
| TCJS Category | Count |
|---|---|
| Local male pretrial Class A/B misdemeanant | 1 |
| Local male pretrial felons | 9 |
| Local female pretrial felons | 2 |
| Local female parole violators or blue warrants | 1 |
| Local male parole violators with a new charge | 3 |
| Local male TDCJ-sentenced transfer categories | 9 |
| Local female TDCJ-sentenced transfer categories | 1 |
| Local male pretrial state jail felons | 1 |
TCJS did not provide race, age, detailed offense, annual admission, or average length-of-stay figures in the Marion County rows reviewed for this build.
Marion County Jail Capacity Rules
Marion County Jail was below rated capacity on the latest sourced population date in the research. Capacity still matters because Texas county jails are regulated facilities, not just local holding rooms. Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates the Texas Commission on Jail Standards and gives it authority over minimum jail standards. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 351 addresses county jail duties and the sheriff's custody role.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 sets the Public Information Act framework for requests to county offices.
Code of Criminal Procedure Article 16.22 covers mental-health or intellectual-disability notice to a magistrate after booking.
Code of Criminal Procedure Article 49.18 governs death-in-custody reporting.
Older TCJS records give local context. Meeting minutes discussed Marion County Jail non-compliance findings tied to Article 16.22 notice, medical files, intake screening, and observation checks, and TCJS issued a 2023 notice of non-compliance. Those records should be read as historical compliance material unless a current TCJS record says otherwise.
Search Marion County Inmates
The local lookup starts at the sheriff page. The official page publishes a "Current Inmate Roster" link, but the destination documented in the research was a Bitwarden Send object rather than a normal searchable roster page. That means the roster is official because the county links to it, but its fields, refresh rate, release retention, and photo display could not be verified in the research environment.
- Open the official Marion County sheriff page and use the current roster link published there.
- If the Bitwarden Send object loads a list or file, check any date or time shown before relying on it.
- If the link fails, call the jail at 903-665-7201 with full name, date of birth, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- For a record copy, make a written Texas Public Information Act request to the sheriff's office.
- For release, transfer, escape, death, or court-event notice, register with Texas SAVNS/VINELink.
The official roster destination documented from the sheriff page was captured as part of the research.
The capture supports the main lookup caution: Marion County has an official roster link, but users may need the jail phone and SAVNS fallback when the shared object does not behave like a searchable database.
Marion County Roster Search Fields
The Marion County roster fields could not be inspected. No source confirmed name search, booking-number search, charge search, release-date search, or a public profile button. Do not assume the jail roster has the same tools as a vendor database.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Inmate Roster | Official link | n/a | Published on the sheriff page; linked destination was not inspectable as a normal form. |
| Search fields | Not verified | Not located | No confirmed last-name, booking-number, charge, or release-date fields. |
| Update notice | Not verified | Not located | No local refresh schedule or release-retention statement was found. |
Marion County Custody Lookup Systems
Local jail custody, state prison custody, federal custody, and immigration custody are separate tracks. A person can leave the Marion County inmate population when released, when moved to another county, when sent to TDCJ after sentence, or when transferred under a federal or immigration process. The lookup tool should change with the custody type.
That split also explains why one name search may produce no result even when the person is still confined somewhere. Marion County Jail may no longer list a person who has bonded out, moved under another agency hold, or been transferred after sentencing. TDCJ may not show a person who is still waiting in the county jail for transport. BOP and ICE do not replace local booking records. For the most reliable Marion County inmate population check, match the system to the custody stage first, then confirm unclear results with the office that controls that stage.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Marion County jail custody | Sheriff roster link or 903-665-7201 | Current local arrests, bond status, release checks |
| Sentenced state prison | TDCJ locator | Unit assignment, release dates, parole eligibility |
| Federal custody | BOP inmate locator | Federal inmates from 1982 forward |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Adult ICE detainees and some CBP custody over 48 hours |

Marion County Inmate Population FAQ
