How to check the Wilbarger County (TX) jail roster and read the results

Wilbarger County publishes its jail roster as a PDF. You can find the county's posted file at https://www.co.wilbarger.tx.us/upload/page/4176/1-5-26.pdf - it's dated 1/5/2026 and formatted as a downloadable, printable list.

Quick sanity check: look for the printed totals. Page 2 of the PDF shows

1. Open the Wilbarger County jail roster PDF - Use https://www.co.wilbarger.tx.us/upload/page/4176/1-5-26.pdf (dated 1/5/2026).
2. Confirm you’re viewing the right snapshot - The header on the roster indicates it’s a roster with “Released is blank” for this run, and the PDF is two pages.
3. Check the totals so you know you have the full list - Page 2 shows “Totals: 39 records printed.”
4. Scan the roster pages for names and rows - The list itself is laid out across the PDF pages in a table-style format, so you’ll be reading entries line by line.

Once the PDF is open, use your viewer's Find function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Command+F on Mac). Search the person's last name first, then their first name to narrow things down.

“Bkg Date” is the booking date shown on the roster entry. In this PDF, it’s displayed as month/day/year (for example: STEPHENS, DON is listed with a booking date of 1/4/2026; BALDWIN, JARED shows 11/12/2025; and WILSON JR, CLIFFORD shows 3/20/2025). If you find multiple people with similar names, the booking date is one of the fastest ways to separate one record from another.

Example row (as shown on the roster): BALDWIN, JARED - Violation: “Agg Assault Causes Serious Bodily Inj” - Bkg Date: 11/12/2025 - Bail: 40000.0000.

Example row (as shown on the roster): STEPHENS, DON - Violation: “Driving While Intoxicated” - Bkg Date: 1/4/2026 - Bail: 1500.0000.

Example row (as shown on the roster): WILSON JR, CLIFFORD - Violation: “Assault Fam/House Mem Impede Breath/Circulat” - Bkg Date: 3/20/2025 - Bail: 50000.0000.

If you don't see the person listed, they likely aren't in this particular snapshot of the roster. Since the Wilbarger County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail, your next step is to contact them directly to confirm custody status.
