Texarkana Released Inmates

Texarkana released inmates records for the Arkansas side of town sit with the Miller County Sheriff. The city straddles the state line with Texas, so two sets of records may apply depending on where the arrest took place. This page walks through the Arkansas side. Start with the Miller County jail roster. Then check the Bi-State Justice Center for court files. Use VINELink for real time release alerts and ADC for state prison history.

Where to Find Texarkana Released Inmates

Texarkana sits on the state line. The Arkansas side lies in Miller County. Any arrest by a local or state officer on the Arkansas side runs through the Miller County Sheriff. That office holds the jail roster, the release data, and the booking files. Start there for most Texarkana released inmates searches.

Miller County posts a current jail list online. The roster shows name, age, race, sex, booking date, and charge. Released inmates show up on a 48 hour list once they walk out. The sheriff's site also links to a mobile patrol app for fast lookups. For state prison history, run the name at the Arkansas Department of Corrections site. For release alerts, sign up at VINELink. Both tools are free.

The Texas side has its own data stream through Bowie County. If the arrest happened on the Texas half of the city, check Bowie County records first. The Bi-State Justice Center serves both sides, so court records can show up on either state's system.

Miller County Jail Roster

The Miller County jail sits at 2300 East Street, Texarkana, AR 71854. Sheriff Wayne Easley runs the office. Jail phone: 870-779-3611. Sheriff office phone: 870-774-3001.

Miller County released inmates records show up in two spots on the sheriff site. The current inmate list shows who is in custody now. The recent release list shows who walked out in the past 48 hours. Both are free. Both update live.

Lead in to the Miller County Sheriff's main hub at millercountyso.us. The landing page carries direct links to the roster, warrants, the sex offender registry, and the most wanted list.

Texarkana District and Circuit Courts

Misdemeanor cases that start with a Texarkana arrest on the Arkansas side head to the Texarkana District Court first. Felony cases move to the Miller County Circuit Court at the Miller County Courthouse on Laurel Street. The Arkansas Judiciary CourtConnect carries both district and circuit court files. Search by name, case ID, or attorney.

The Bi-State Justice Center hosts both Texas and Arkansas municipal courts. Walking into the building, you can hit either side depending on where the ticket was written. Court clerks for each side work separately. Fees and forms differ between the two states.

Background Checks for Texarkana

The Arkansas State Police CBC system runs consent based name checks for Arkansas records. A state name check runs $22.00, or $11.00 for volunteers. A fingerprint check through the FBI runs $13.00, or $11.00 for volunteers. The state police need signed written consent from the subject plus an account with the Information Network of Arkansas.

The ARCH system is the public path with no consent needed. Each search costs $24.00 and payment is by card only. ARCH pulls from the Arkansas Crime Information Center database. See the state police FAQ for details on what shows and what stays hidden.

Texas records on the Texarkana Texas side run through a separate system. The Texas Department of Public Safety handles that state's history checks. Border cases may need both a Texas and an Arkansas search to cover the full record.

VINELink and Release Alerts

VINELink at vinelink.com is the free release alert service. Register by phone, email, or text. Pick the inmate. Get an alert when the person is released, transferred, or escapes. The Arkansas feed pulls from county jails and the state DOC, so Miller County bookings flow through in near real time.

The service is anonymous. Victims, witnesses, and family members use it most. There is no fee. The toll free line is 1-800-510-0415 for help with registration or account questions.

FOIA for Texarkana Records

The Arkansas FOIA at Ark. Code Ann. § 25-19-101 et seq. covers arrest records, jail rosters, booking photos, and most police reports on the Arkansas side. Agencies have three business days to respond. No reason is needed. The requester's motive is not the agency's business.

For Texarkana, send the request to the department that holds the record. The Texarkana Arkansas Police records division handles its own requests. The Miller County Sheriff handles jail records. The Miller County Circuit Clerk handles court files. The Arkansas Attorney General's office at arkansasag.gov publishes a FOIA handbook with sample letters and fee rules.

Note that the Texas side runs under Texas open records law, not Arkansas FOIA. The rules differ. Texas uses a longer response window and a different fee schedule. Check both if the arrest crossed the line.

Parole and State Prison Records

People on parole or probation in Texarkana report to a local officer under the Arkansas Department of Community Correction. Call the state office for current contact info. The DCC posts some data online under Ark. Code Ann. § 12-27-145, including the parolee's name, aliases, latest photo, and completed programs. State prison inmates show up on the ADC inmate search, including release dates and parole eligibility.

Texarkana Released Inmates Next Steps

Start at the Miller County jail roster. Move to the 48 hour release list if the person is already out. Check ADC for state prison history. Use VINELink for live alerts. Hit CourtConnect for court files. Use ARCH or the ASP CBC for criminal history.

If the arrest crossed to the Texas side, pull the Bowie County roster too. The Bi-State Justice Center keeps both sides, but each state feeds its own system. Federal cases tied to the Texarkana U.S. District Court run through the U.S. Marshals Service and the federal Bureau of Prisons, not the local sheriff.

For walk in help, head to the Miller County Sheriff at 2300 East Street during business hours. Bring a photo ID and the inmate's full legal name with a rough date of arrest. Staff can pull a booking photo or a release record while you wait. The Bi-State Justice Center at 100 N. Stateline Avenue handles police reports and municipal court files for both sides.
