The Lubbock County Jail roster is the official way to check whether someone is held at the Lubbock County Detention Center in Texas. You can search by name, booking number or Sheriff’s Office (SO) number, review available booking details and find the correct contacts for visitation, bond, inmate money and records.
Lubbock County Jail Roster: Official Active Inmate Search
The Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office maintains an Active Jail Search page for people currently held in the county detention system. The Sheriff’s Office confirms that users can locate inmates by name, booking number or SO number.
How to Search the Lubbock County Jail Roster
Visit Lubbock County Active Jail Search. Choose the link labeled Click Here to Search Active Jail Roster.
Use the inmate’s first or last name, booking number or Sheriff’s Office number, depending on the information you have.
Review available identifying details. Do not assume two people with the same name are the same person.
Check the available booking date, booking identifiers, custody location and any bond or charge information displayed by the current system.
If the search is related to a bond payment, court appearance or pickup, call the detention center before taking action.
If the desktop roster is inconvenient, use the official Sheriff’s Office mobile app and its Jail Search feature. The county says the app updates approximately every half hour.
Lubbock County Jail Recent Bookings & Daily Arrest Records
The active jail roster helps identify people currently held in the detention center and review their available booking information. However, it is not necessarily a complete daily log of everyone arrested or booked during the preceding 24 hours.
How to check a recent booking
Understanding Lubbock County Jail Roster Information
| Information | What it means | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate Name | Name associated with the custody record | Compare other available identifiers |
| SO Number | Sheriff’s Office identifier associated with the person | Useful for mail and inmate account services |
| Booking Number | Identifier associated with a particular booking | Use for booking-specific inquiries |
| Booking Date | Date recorded for admission or booking | May differ from the arrest date |
| Custody Status | Available information about detention or release | Confirm changes directly with jail staff |
| Bond Information | Bond amount or eligibility when entered into the system | May not be set until initial appearance |
| Charges or Case Information | Recorded allegations or related proceedings, if displayed | Not proof of guilt or final disposition |
| Housing Information | Assigned location if made available publicly | May change because of classification or operational needs |
What is the difference between an SO number and a booking number?
The SO number identifies a person in the Sheriff’s Office system and is specifically required for Lubbock County inmate mail. The booking number identifies a booking event. Keep both when available, particularly if the person has been booked more than once.
Why might bond information be missing?
The Sheriff’s Office states that inmates typically become eligible to bond out after seeing a magistrate. Bond information is updated on the online jail roster after it has been set. A missing amount does not necessarily mean the person will remain in custody indefinitely.
Lubbock County Jail Mugshots & Booking Photographs
Booking photographs may be taken during detention processing, but the official active jail roster should not be treated as a guaranteed public mugshot archive. The availability of a photograph depends on the system and applicable record restrictions.
How to request a booking photograph
Why Someone May Not Appear on the Lubbock County Jail Roster
What to do if you cannot find the inmate
Retry using the SO number or booking number if known. You can also check the Sheriff’s Office mobile app. If the person is still missing and custody confirmation is important, call 806-775-7009 or 806-775-7048.
Lubbock County Jail Bail, Bond & Release
The Sheriff’s Office explains that inmates can typically bond out after their initial appearance before a magistrate. Magistrates conduct initial appearances at least twice daily, and sometimes more frequently.
Once a bond is set, the amount is entered into the online jail roster. Bond can be posted in full at the detention center’s Bond Window or through a local surety company, subject to the applicable requirements.
Search the official roster and record the person’s name, SO number and booking number.
Review the available bond information. If it is missing, the initial appearance or related processing may not be complete.
Call the detention center to confirm the amount, any additional holds and the permitted payment methods.
Ask about paying the full bond at the detention center’s Bond Window or using a licensed surety company. Surety companies may charge a percentage and impose their own requirements.
Keep the payment receipt and ask staff about the current release procedure. Payment does not guarantee immediate release if other holds or orders apply.
Initial appearance hearing livestream
The Sheriff’s Office provides access to live initial-appearance hearings from the detention center. These hearings occur as needed, sometimes up to three times daily. The county states that streams are not archived and are deleted after the hearing.
Recording these livestreamed hearings is prohibited. Use the official Active Jail Search page to find the livestream link.
Lubbock County Jail Visitation Hours & Registration
The Lubbock County Detention Center uses Smart Communications / SmartInmate for video visitation registration and scheduling. Visitors can register through a smartphone, computer or facility kiosk.
How to register and schedule a visit
Visitor identification and limits
Visitors older than 17 must have acceptable government-issued photo identification. The county generally permits one adult visitor per visit, with up to two accompanying children if they are properly supervised.
Items prohibited in visitation rooms
The jail prohibits food, gum, candy, drinks, mobile phones, purses, backpacks, writing instruments and bags in visitation rooms. Visitors must secure their belongings in the provided lockers. The county states that lockers require a solid quarter, returned when the key is returned.
Special housing visits
Visits for inmates in special housing units must be scheduled by jail staff under the applicable schedule. Call 806-775-7019 for these arrangements.
Lubbock County Jail Inmate Phone Calls & Video Messages
Lubbock County uses separate services for inmate telephone accounts and Smart Communications messaging or video visits. Funding one service does not necessarily add funds to another.
How to send an electronic message
The Sheriff’s Office also describes collect or COD messaging options in which the recipient pays when reading the message.
Lubbock County Jail Inmate Mailing Address & MailGuard
The detention center uses Smart Communications MailGuard for ordinary personal mail. Regular letters are sent to an off-site processing address, scanned and made available to inmates electronically.
Regular inmate mail address
Inmate’s Full Name and SO Number
PO Box 9136
Seminole, FL 33775
Write the inmate’s full name and SO number clearly on the envelope or postcard. Include your return address.
Legal mail, court documents and publications
Inmate’s Full Name and SO Number
PO Box 10535
Lubbock, TX 79408
The Sheriff’s Office specifically directs legal mail, court documents, bank statements and publications to the Lubbock mailing address rather than the personal-mail processing address.
Before sending inmate mail
The county says released inmates can access previously scanned correspondence and messages through SmartInmate using their inmate credentials.
Lubbock County Jail Commissary, Phone Funds & Care Packages
For deposits to inmate accounts, the Sheriff’s Office identifies Access Corrections and lobby kiosks. For phone-only deposits, it directs users to ICSolutions.
| Purpose | Method | Important detail |
|---|---|---|

How to Request Lubbock County Jail Booking Records
The Sheriff’s Office requires written open-records requests. You can submit a request by email, fax, mail or in person. The county asks requesters to include a valid contact method for the written response.
What to include in your request
Ask the records office about fees, redactions, availability and processing requirements. Some information may be withheld or restricted under Texas law.
Lubbock County Release Alerts & Victim Notifications
The active jail roster can help check current custody, but it is not a guaranteed notification system for every release or transfer.
The Sheriff’s Office provides community-resource links to victim notification services that allow eligible users to check custody status or register for notifications through email, telephone or text.
Lubbock County Court Records, Warrants & Attorney Information
A jail roster provides detention information, while court records establish hearings, filed documents, judicial orders and case outcomes. For an accurate legal status, consult the court handling the case.
How to check the related court case
For confidential attorney visits or legal communications, contact detention staff to confirm the appropriate privileged-access procedures.
Lubbock County Detention Center Address, Phone & Map
The Sheriff’s Office headquarters and detention center are at different locations. For inmate visits, bond and detention-related services, confirm whether you should report to the North Holly Avenue facility or another designated office.
