Official Record Contacts
For current Fannin County jail custody questions, start with the jail. The sheriff's office handles county law-enforcement administration, while the detention center is the direct line for custody, booking, release, bond, visitation, and inmate-property questions. Public-information requests must follow the county's written-request process.

Use the route that matches the record or custody system involved.
- For someone held in the county jail, use jail inmate records and call the detention center when a live status check is needed.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and the county public-information request process if no photo is posted.
- For charges filed after booking, use court records after a jail arrest and the Fannin County Tyler court portal.
- For a specific local facility, use the facility pages in the footer for the jail, Buster Cole Unit, or Choice Moore Unit.
- For a sentenced Texas prisoner, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons inmate locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
