Find a Midland County Detainee Before You Call the Jail
If you are trying to find out whether someone is in the Midland County Jail right now, start with the Sheriff’s Currently Held Detainees list. You do not need a booking number to begin—the official search accepts a complete or partial last name.
Once the correct person appears, do not stop at the name. Read every row for that detainee. The roster can show the offense, court, warrant or case number, arrest date, bond, fines, disposition and attorney. Those fields tell you whether your next call should be about release, court, visitation, money, a hold or an older record.
The Midland County Sheriff search is a current-custody list. Enter a partial or complete last name, check the timestamp, then review every charge row for the person.

What the Midland County detainee fields mean
| Roster field | What it helps answer | What it does not prove | Useful next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Who Midland County currently lists as detained. | Identity from a name match alone. | Compare arrest date, charge, attorney and case information. |
| Attorney | Whether a lawyer is currently displayed with the roster entry. | That “NONE” means counsel was waived or cannot be appointed. | Check the court record or appointed-counsel process. |
| Offense | The allegation associated with that row. | Guilt or the final case outcome. | Use the warrant/case number to find the court case. |
| Class | The level of the listed Texas offense. | The charge will remain at that level. | Use it to decide which clerk likely holds the case. |
| Court | Which court or jurisdiction currently appears with the matter. | A hearing date has not changed. | Search the correct clerk and contact the attorney for court dates. |
| County | Which county is associated with that matter. | Midland County controls every hold. | An outside-county entry may require contacting that county. |
| Warrant Number | The identifier Midland County displays for the charge or warrant. | That the identifier is still an active unserved warrant. | Use it when checking the clerk, attorney or Warrant Section. |
| Arrest Date | When the custody event associated with that row began. | The exact date of the alleged offense. | Compare it with the report and court filing. |
| Bond | The bond amount currently displayed for that charge. | Payment will release the detainee. | Review every other row and confirm holds before paying. |
| Fines | A fine balance shown for that matter. | The fine is the only barrier to release. | Confirm the controlling court or jail requirement. |
| Disposition | The status or outcome currently displayed for that particular row. | Every case against the person is over. | Read all remaining rows and verify the official court docket. |
| Years / Months / Weeks / Days / Hours | Sentence-time information when the roster uses those fields. | The exact future release date. | Call Detention for an urgent release-status question. |
How to route the court and hold codes you may see
Midland County does not publish a single public glossary beside the live roster, so treat these as routing clues rather than legal conclusions. Confirm an unfamiliar code with Detention or the clerk.
| Code | Usually points to | Where to verify |
|---|---|---|
| JP1 / JP2 / JP3 / JP4 | Justice of the Peace precinct activity, including some warrants, magistrate or fine-related matters. | The applicable Midland County Justice of the Peace office. |
| CC / CCL1 / CCL2 | County-level or County Court at Law criminal matter. | Midland County Clerk Misdemeanor Court Records. |
| 142 / 238 / 385 / 441 | One of Midland County’s numbered State District Courts. | Midland County District Clerk for felony criminal proceedings. |
| OOC | Often used for an out-of-county matter or hold. | Detention first, then the county that issued the matter. |
| FED / US FED | May indicate federal involvement or a federal hold. | Detention and the identified federal agency or federal court. |
| BPP | Often refers to a Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles matter. | Detention and the relevant Texas parole authority. |

If the person was released on a personal bond
Midland County uses a court-appointed counsel system
If the person cannot afford a lawyer
- The detainee should request appointed counsel during the magistration/court process.
- Financial-information and indigence forms may be required.
- For a felony, the District Clerk is the relevant clerk.
- For a misdemeanor, the County Clerk handles the criminal misdemeanor record.
- The court determines whether counsel will be appointed.
If the family is hiring private counsel
- Verify the attorney’s Texas license.
- Ask who will actually appear in Midland County court.
- Give counsel the detainee’s exact roster name and case/warrant numbers.
- Ask for the fee agreement in writing.
- Do not confuse a bail bond company with a criminal defense lawyer.
The current inmate list is not Midland County’s arrest-history database
If the person was released last week, last year or years ago, searching the current detainee page repeatedly will not solve the problem. Use the record holder that controls the information you need.

A warrant number on the detainee list is not the same as a new warrant search
The live roster includes a Warrant Number field for individual charge rows. Once the person is already in custody, that number can help identify the related case, but it should not be treated as proof that the same warrant remains outstanding.

Details worth checking before you leave home or spend money
A screenshot without the current-as-of time can become misleading quickly when someone is bonding, releasing or transferring.
Do not assume a social video visit takes place at 400 S Main. Midland County lists its Detention Visitor Center at 2106 “A” Street.
A second Midland charge, OOC matter, federal entry or parole issue can change the release answer.
This is the route Midland County’s own jail FAQ recommends for current hearing dates.
Ordinary inmate correspondence currently goes through the Securus Digital Mail Center in Tampa.
The county specifically tells users with a missing kiosk deposit to bring the receipt to the bonding area.
Midland County tells defendants to leave early to find parking and pass through the courthouse metal detector.
The Sheriff FAQ says transfer pickup dates and times are not released.
Telephone, video and deposit vendors can change. Use the current county page immediately before funding an account.
Midland County jail custody questions answered
How do I search for someone currently in Midland County Jail?
Use the Midland County Sheriff’s Currently Held Detainees search. Enter a complete or partial last name, or choose the option to view all current detainees. Check the page’s current-as-of timestamp and compare the person’s name, arrest date, offenses, court, warrant or cause number, attorney and bond information before relying on the result.
Can I search the Midland County inmate list with only part of a last name?
Yes. Midland County’s official detainee search specifically accepts a partial or complete last name. This is useful when the exact spelling is uncertain. Use several known details from the result to confirm the correct person because a surname match alone is not enough.
Why is someone I expected to find not on the Midland County jail roster?
The official page is a current-detainee list rather than a complete historical arrest archive. A person may still be processing, may have been released, transferred, booked under a different spelling or held by another county, state or federal agency. Try a shorter surname search, review the list timestamp and call the Detention Division at 432-688-4745 when custody remains unclear.
What information does the Midland County current detainee page show?
The live roster can show the detainee’s name, attorney, offense, offense class, court, county, warrant or case number, arrest date, bond, fines, disposition and sentence-time fields. The page can contain multiple rows for one person, so review every charge before drawing conclusions about bond or release.
How do I find a Midland County inmate’s bond and know whether payment will release them?
Start with the Bond column on the current detainee list, then review every other row for that person. A separate charge, out-of-county hold, federal hold, parole matter or other restriction can prevent release even when one charge has a bond amount. Confirm the current total and any holds with the Detention Division before paying.
What are Midland County inmate visitation days and hours?
Midland County currently publishes video visitation on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eligible inmates may receive up to two visitors per visiting day, visits are normally at least 20 minutes per visitor, a visitor may visit once per visitation day on non-consecutive days, and an inmate may receive four total visits per week.
What is the mailing address for a Midland County inmate?
Ordinary personal mail should be addressed to the inmate’s full name and inmate ID, Midland County, TX Jail, C/O Securus Digital Mail Center, PO Box 21227, Tampa, FL 33622. The sender’s full return name and address are required. Legal mail and authorized publications use the Midland County Sheriff’s Office Detention Division PO Box 11387 address in Midland instead.
How do I add money to a Midland County inmate account?
Midland County currently directs inmate-account deposits through the detention lobby kiosk, TouchPay online or TouchPay by telephone at 866-232-1899. Money orders and cashier’s checks are not accepted for inmate-account deposits. Verify the person is still in Midland County custody before paying and keep the transaction receipt.
How do I find a Midland County inmate’s criminal court case?
Use the court and offense class shown on the detainee roster to choose the correct clerk. Midland County Clerk handles Class A and Class B misdemeanor cases in the County Courts at Law, while the District Clerk is the record office for felony criminal proceedings in the District Courts. Search by the case or warrant number when possible and contact the inmate’s attorney for the current court date.
How can I be notified when a Midland County inmate is released?
Midland County directs families and other interested users to VINE for release and custody-status notifications. Register through VINELink and keep the inmate’s identifying information handy. Continue to verify urgent custody questions with the Midland County Detention Division because transfer information and release processing can change.
