Lookup Motley County Sheriff's Office Custody

Motley County Sheriff's Office Overview

The Motley County Sheriff's Office / Courthouse Holding and Transfer Point is the primary local facility page because the county has no state-inspected county jail listed in Texas Commission on Jail Standards population records. Official research identifies Sheriff Robert Fisk as the operator of the sheriff's office. The county's sheriff page lists the mailing address as P.O. Box 715, Matador, Texas 79244, phone (806) 347-2234, and fax (806) 347-2692. The Sheriffs' Association of Texas listing supplies the physical address at 701 Dundee Ave, Matador, TX 79244.

This facility should be read as a law-enforcement contact point and courthouse holding or transfer point. It should not be described as a TCJS-rated county jail with a public bed count, housing unit list, commissary vendor, inmate mailroom, or visit schedule. People arrested in Motley County may pass through sheriff custody, magistration, bond review, and transfer. If secure detention is needed, the sheriff can identify where the person is physically housed.

Motley County Facility Population

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population materials list Motley County as Motley (no jail). The current population report shows capacity as Data Not Available for the local jail-capacity field, so there is no local rated capacity to calculate. The TCJS incarceration-rate workbook for late 2025 and 2026 rows shows countywide population around 1,015 and average daily population values around 1 or 2, with rates about 0.99 or 1.97 per 1,000 residents. Those figures are countywide reporting numbers, not a Motley jail occupancy count.

Do not use a percentage-of-capacity or overcrowding calculation for this facility. Motley County has no local capacity figure in TCJS records. If a Motley prisoner is housed in another county, the receiving jail's population, beds, and crowding conditions control the person's facility experience.

Look Up Motley County Custody

No official local online roster exists for Motley County Sheriff's Office. The correct inmate lookup process is a channel check. Call the sheriff for a current arrest, then use the clerk, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, or VINELink only when the person's status matches those systems. A fresh arrest will not appear in TDCJ merely because the arrest happened in Motley County.

1. Call the sheriff at (806) 347-2234 and ask whether the person is in custody, transferred, released, or awaiting magistration.
2. Ask for the exact physical housing location. If another jail holds the person, request that jail's name and public phone number.
3. For a filed court case, search iDocket or contact the County and District Clerk for records since 2003.
4. For a sentenced state prisoner, search TDCJ by name, SID, or TDCJ number.
5. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP inmate locator or ICE ODLS.
6. Use VINELink for custody or release notifications where available.

Motley County Sheriff's Office Contact

The sheriff's office is the starting point for current custody, bond, transfer, and booking-record questions. The county also has a general courthouse phone through the county site. For filed court records, use the combined County and District Clerk rather than the sheriff.

The Motley County sheriff page shows the public contact block for the office that handles local custody questions.

That official page supports the facility role used here: a sheriff contact point rather than a public local jail roster.

Visiting Motley County Detainees

No local Motley County jail visitation schedule was located. Because this is a no-jail sheriff contact point, visitors should not arrive expecting a standard detention-center lobby, video visit kiosk, or posted visiting day. Ask the sheriff where the person is housed and then follow the receiving jail's rules. Attorney visits also need confirmation with the office or receiving facility.

Mail and Money Rules

No local inmate-mail address format, commissary vendor, kiosk, deposit site, tablet provider, or phone vendor was located for Motley County. Do not mail inmate correspondence to the courthouse unless the sheriff specifically instructs it. Once the person is transferred, the receiving facility's name, booking number, mailroom rules, and money-deposit vendor become the controlling details.

TDCJ's trust fund information says only approved senders may deposit money in many situations. TDCJ deposit options include money orders or cashier's checks payable to "Inmate Trust Fund for Offender Name and Number" and mailed to Inmate Trust Fund, P.O. Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. Those are state prison rules, not Motley County sheriff rules.

Booking at Motley County Sheriff's Office

A Motley County arrest can involve a sheriff deputy or another peace officer agency. The person may be searched, identified, and processed under sheriff authority before release, magistration, bond action, or transfer. Texas Article 15.17 requires appearance before a magistrate without unnecessary delay and not later than 48 hours after arrest. At that stage, warnings, right to counsel, and bond issues are addressed.

The formal court case follows a different track. Prosecutor review may involve County Attorney Tom Edwards for county-level matters or 110th Judicial District Attorney Emily Teegardin for felony district matters. The filed court record is searched through iDocket or the County and District Clerk. That is why a sheriff custody call and a court record search may both be needed for the same arrest.

Temporary holding

Short-term local custody before release, magistration, or transfer.

Transfer

Movement to a receiving jail or another custody system.

Magistration

First Texas court appearance for warnings, counsel, and bond.

Detainer

A hold request from another agency that can delay release.

Records From This Facility

Records tied to this facility may include arrest notes, booking or transfer information, a custody confirmation, bond information, or a public-information response. Court records after filing are held through the clerk process. The Motley County public-information policy for sensitive in-person inspection requires requests at least three business days before the desired inspection date and limits review to normal business hours. It also restricts pens, pencils, marking tools, food, and drinks in the review area.

The county clerk fee schedule effective January 1, 2024 lists copies at $1 per page, certified copies at $5 plus $1 per page, and records searches at $10. Those are clerk costs, not a local jail fee schedule. No sheriff fee schedule for booking photos, jail copies, or inmate account services was located.
