Ochiltree County Jail Overview
Ochiltree County Jail is operated by the Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office. The official sheriff page lists Sheriff Terry Bouchard, the jail and sheriff contact address in Perryton, and the public phone number. It also links directly to the county inmate jail roster. Because that roster is linked from the sheriff page, it should be treated as an official access channel even though the roster itself is hosted by Synergistic Software.
The facility is a county jail, not a Texas state prison or a federal detention center. Its public custody population can include local pretrial defendants, misdemeanor inmates, county-sentenced inmates when applicable, felony defendants awaiting court action, parole or blue-warrant holds, and other holds shown by the roster. Official sources did not publish a jail history, pod layout, internal housing plan, public lobby hours, intake entrance, ADA entrance note, or parking map.
Ochiltree County Jail Capacity
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population workbook is the official source for the jail capacity and monthly count used in the research file. The June 2026 current workbook listed Ochiltree County Jail with 48 beds and 7 total inmates on June 1, 2026. That row showed 14.58 percent capacity use. Earlier extracted TCJS rows showed the jail generally below capacity, with late 2022 totals in the mid-20s and later rows often in the teens.
Those figures describe the jail as reported to the state. They are not the same as the live roster, which can change with new arrests, releases, court orders, transfers, or holds. Use TCJS for population and capacity trends. Use the sheriff-linked roster for person-level inmate lookup.
Search Ochiltree County Jail Inmates
Use the Ochiltree County inmate jail roster for local county jail custody. The current-inmate page displays public booking cards with mugshot image slots, status, sex, age, race, address, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, total bond, warrant number, counts, statute, description, charge level field, and bond amount. The roster also has 24-hour arrest and arrest-date views for recent or older booking searches.
- Open the roster and check the Current Inmates tab for active Ochiltree County Jail custody.
- Enter a name in the optional filter when the list spans multiple pages or a common name appears.
- Use 24 Hours Arrests for very recent bookings and releases, including records that no longer appear as current inmates.
- Use Inmates by Arrest Date when the booking date is known or the current list does not show the person.
- Call the sheriff's office if the roster shows a hold, redacted bond, NOT SET bond, or no record for a person believed to be in custody.
The official sheriff page screenshot source shows the county's public roster link from the sheriff office page.
That source ties the vendor roster back to the sheriff, which is why the roster can be used as the primary Ochiltree County Jail inmate lookup channel.
Ochiltree County Jail Address
The sheriff page gives one official contact address and phone number for the sheriff's office and local jail contact. The county courthouse address on South Main Street is separate and should not be treated as the jail address. Use the jail phone before travel because the sheriff page does not publish separate booking desk, records unit, visitation lobby, or detention captain numbers.

Visit Ochiltree County Jail
Official Ochiltree-specific visitation rules were not published on the sheriff page or roster pages captured in the research. No confirmed schedule, video vendor, appointment rule, dress code, child visitor rule, attorney visit procedure, visitor parking map, locker rule, or barred-item list was located. The accurate guidance is to confirm directly with the jail before travel.
| Visitation Topic | Published Status | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation schedule | Not published in official pages inspected | Call 806-435-8000 before traveling. |
| Visitor ID and dress code | Not published | Ask the jail what ID and clothing rules apply that day. |
| Video visitation | Vendor not located | Do not assume a video visit system exists. |
| Attorney visits | Policy not published | Confirm through the sheriff's office. |
| Entry, lockers, parking | Not published | Ask before bringing bags, phones, or personal items. |
If a person has moved from Ochiltree County Jail to TDCJ, county jail visitation rules no longer apply. Use TDCJ visitation guidance for a state-prison visit after transfer.
Ochiltree County Jail Mail and Money
Official sources did not publish Ochiltree County Jail mail formatting rules, commissary deposit instructions, an inmate phone vendor, a tablet program, or a money-deposit vendor. The research instructions specifically warn against naming common jail vendors without official support. That means mail, phone, commissary, and deposit questions should go through the jail phone before anyone sends funds or items.
| Service | Official Source Status | Confirmation Point |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address format | Not published | Call 806-435-8000 for inmate name format and allowed mail. |
| Phone or video calls | Vendor not located | Ask whether the inmate can call and how accounts are funded. |
| Commissary deposits | Vendor not located | Ask before sending money or using any third-party service. |
| Books, photos, envelopes | Rules not published | Confirm allowed items and sender limits. |
State prison is different. TDCJ eCommDirect is for state-prison deposits and commissary purchases. It does not serve Ochiltree County Jail inmates unless the person has transferred to TDCJ custody.
Ochiltree County Jail Booking
The public roster shows the visible end of booking and intake. After an arrest, a person may appear with name, status, booking image, demographics, address, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, total bond, warrant numbers, statutes, charge descriptions, and per-charge bond or court information. The roster does not publish a refresh schedule, so no exact update delay should be assumed.
Local criminal process then moves toward magistration and court filing. The Justice of the Peace page says remote magistrations occur as needed between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM and may be viewed through the Ochiltree Justice of the Peace YouTube Live channel. Bond can be set, changed, held, or left not set depending on the charge, warrant, detainer, and court action. A roster bond field should be checked with the jail or court before anyone travels to post bond.
- Magistration
- The first judicial warning and bond step after arrest.
- Detainer or hold
- A notice from another agency that can delay release even when local bond is addressed.
- PR bond
- A personal bond, based on a written promise and court conditions rather than full cash payment.
Ochiltree County Jail Records Requests
When the roster does not show the needed booking record, the best documented request path is the county Public Information Act form linked from the County Clerk page. The form asks for contact information, a clear description of the requested information, a date range when known, redaction choices, copy type, and electronic copy preference. It also warns that broad or unclear requests may need clarification and that charges may apply.
Use the jail roster for quick custody checks, but use a written request for older booking records, jail records, incident materials, or booking photos not visible online. For filed criminal cases, felony records route through the District Clerk, while misdemeanor records route through the County Clerk. Court records and jail records answer different questions.
Transfers From Ochiltree County Jail
A person can leave the Ochiltree County Jail roster because of release, court action, sentence, or transfer. If the person is sentenced to Texas prison, use the TDCJ inmate information search. If the person is in federal sentenced custody, use the BOP inmate locator. If the issue is immigration detention, use ICE ODLS. For custody change notices, Texas VINELink can be useful where available.
Note: Confirm custody and visitation with the jail before travel because several local visitor and mail rules were not published online.
