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.
