Lubbock County, Texas Inmate Search

An inmate search lets the public check whether someone is currently in custody. In Lubbock County, this service is managed by the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office, which operates the Lubbock County Detention Center and provides an online search tool for checking inmate status. The Detention Center primarily holds people short-term, including those awaiting trial, serving sentences, or awaiting transfer to state or federal facilities.

County jail records provide details on these individuals, including those currently detained for trial or serving brief sentences at the Detention Center. Those sentenced to state prison are transferred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). Individuals in federal custody are managed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP).

Within the county, the two largest cities are Lubbock and Wolfforth. The Lubbock Police Department and the Wolfforth Police Department do not maintain separate public jail rosters. Individuals arrested by these agencies are typically booked into the county detention center and appear in the Sheriff’s Office search system. Search results generally include the inmate’s name, booking number, arrest date, charges, bond amount, custody status, housing location and mugshot.
