Bowie County Detention Center

Visiting someone at Bowie County Detention Center starts with a visitation request form that you fill out yourself—not the inmate. Once complete, mail or hand-deliver it to detention control at 105 W. Front St., Texarkana, TX 75501. The form asks for identifying and contact details: your phone number, date of birth, sex, race, Social Security number, driver's license number and issuing state, and your relationship to the inmate. This information may be used for an NCIC background check. Leave required sections blank or provide false information, and your request will likely be denied. Keep in mind that visitation is a privilege—it can still be limited by facility rules, security concerns, or scheduling.

Looking for someone at Bowie County Detention Center? The county provides a third-party inmate lookup as a convenience, though it warns that unauthorized use is forbidden and could lead to prosecution. The search tool disclaims warranties about accuracy, timeliness, and completeness—treat results as informational only. For custody-status changes, Texas IVSS (the statewide offender-status service) updates 24 hours a day and can help you track recent updates. IVSS also notes its information shouldn't be used as an official legal record. Because these rosters vary in completeness—and people no longer in custody may not appear—check more than one source when details really matter.

Sheriff Jeff Neal's office phone and fax are the primary contacts for detention-related inquiries at Bowie County Detention Center. For probation questions, the Bowie County Community Supervision and Corrections Department (CSCD) front-desk posting includes the department address, director's name, and a phone number. That same posting explains how to get and submit job applications: apply online, pick one up at the Bowie County Probation Department, or email completed materials to stephanie.karr@bowiecounty.org. Before calling, have the detainee's full name and identifying details ready. Check hours or appointment requirements for specialized services, and avoid sending sensitive personal information over unsecured email.
