This website is a private reference site, not a Childress County office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release an inmate, post bond, schedule visitation, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the official office or locator that matches the custody type.
Where to Ask About a Record
For local jail and sheriff records, start with the Childress County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff bio card lists Sheriff Matthew Bradley and gives the office address as 1005 Avenue F NE, Childress, TX 79201. The office phone is (940) 937-2535, fax is (940) 937-2395, email is sheriff@childresstx.us, and posted business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The sheriff page says records requests must be in writing and may be delivered in person, by mail, or by email. One local detail needs care: the sheriff bio card uses Avenue F NE, while the open-records paragraph lists 1005 Avenue F NW, Childress, TX 79201. Call (940) 937-2535 before mailing a written request so the office can confirm the correct street direction.
- For someone believed to be in the Childress County Jail, use the jail inmate records page and the sheriff/jail line at (940) 937-2535.
- For booking photos or a mugshot request, read the jail roster mugshots page before submitting a written request to the sheriff.
- For charges or case filings after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the appropriate Childress County clerk or court record system.
- For facility-specific basics, use the footer links for the Childress County Jail and the T. L. Roach Unit.
- For a sentenced Texas prisoner, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search. The T. L. Roach Unit is a TDCJ prison in Childress County, not the county jail.
- For federal prison custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For immigration custody, use ICE's Online Detainee Locator System.
