Borden County Sheriff's Office Overview
The official facility map for this build resolves to one local custody entity: Borden County Sheriff's Office / No County Jail. The operator is the Borden County Sheriff's Office, and the type is best described as a county law-enforcement custody contact rather than a detention center. TCJS current population materials identify Borden as "Borden (no jail)," and the county website publishes a sheriff page rather than a jail division, detention-center, inmate-roster, visitation, or commissary page.
That distinction is not cosmetic. A person arrested in Borden County may be handled by the sheriff, transported, booked through another agency, held in an outside jail, released, or later moved into another custody system. Official sources did not identify a named contract jail or regional jail that permanently serves as the Borden County jail. No local detention beds, pods, housing units, public booking desk, or jail lobby were confirmed.
Borden County Sheriff's Office Population
The population facts for this facility are mostly negative, but they are specific and useful. Capacity is not applicable because no local jail beds are listed. The TCJS incarceration-rate workbook still reports a countywide ADP measure, with 1 ADP and a rate value of 1.8 in the June 2026 row using countywide population 557. That number should be read as a countywide reporting measure, not as a head count inside a Borden County jail building.
| Measure | Facility-specific reading | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Facility status | County law-enforcement contact, no county jail listed | TCJS current population materials and county sheriff page |
| Rated capacity | Not applicable, no local jail beds found | TCJS materials |
| Population held | Arrestees routed through sheriff custody and outside holding or transfer arrangements | Facility map and research section 11 |
| Countywide ADP | 1 in June 2026 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook |
Look Up Borden County Sheriff's Office Inmates
No Borden County jail roster is available from the official sources reviewed. For this facility page, the correct lookup is a custody-routing workflow. The sheriff can answer whether the arrest was local and where the person was taken, but a court clerk may hold the filed case, TDCJ may hold a sentenced-prison record, BOP may hold a federal-prison record, and ICE ODLS may hold an immigration-detention record. Each system searches a different custody level.
- Call or write the sheriff and identify the person by full name, date of birth if known, and arrest date.
- Ask whether the person was arrested by Borden County and which facility currently holds them.
- Check clerk or re:SearchTX records if a magistrate event or court filing has occurred.
- Use TDCJ only after a state-prison sentence.
- Use BOP, USMS, or ICE systems for federal or immigration custody.
- Use VINELink or Texas IVSS when release or transfer notification coverage is available.
Borden County Sheriff's Office Contact
The county sheriff page is the official source for the local law-enforcement contact. It names Sheriff Benny Allison and lists the Gail office address, phone and fax number, and email. No separate jail administrator or detention records office was located, so the sheriff contact is the practical starting point for a Borden County arrest or custody-routing question.

The source supports the office as the local contact, but it does not show a detention center or roster link.
Borden County Sheriff's Office Visits
No Borden-specific jail visitation schedule was found. That means visitors should not drive to the Gail sheriff address expecting a jail visitor counter. The first question is where the person is held. If an outside county jail holds the person, that facility controls in-person visits, video visits, identification rules, dress code, visitor approval, arrival time, and cancellation rules.
| Visit type | Borden-specific schedule | Correct action |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visits | No local schedule located | Identify the holding facility first. |
| Video visits | No Borden vendor located | Ask the outside facility whether remote video is offered. |
| Attorney visits | No local schedule located | Coordinate with the holding facility, sheriff, and court as needed. |
| TDCJ visits | Not a Borden jail service | Use TDCJ rules after state-prison transfer. |
Borden County Sheriff's Office Mail
No Borden County jail mail format, phone vendor, commissary provider, deposit kiosk, online money-deposit vendor, or tablet program was located. Do not mail personal letters, checks, money orders, or commissary funds to the sheriff office unless staff tells you to do so. If the person is housed in an outside county jail, that jail's inmate name format, booking number, facility address, mail screening rules, and money vendor control.
| Service | Provider or detail | Facility-page rule |
|---|---|---|
| No Borden inmate mail format located | Use the holding facility's format. | |
| Phone or video | No Borden provider located | Ask the current jail for its vendor. |
| Money deposit | No Borden kiosk or online vendor located | Confirm with the holding jail before paying. |
| Commissary | No Borden commissary vendor located | Use the outside facility's system if one applies. |
Note: Wrong-facility mail or money may be rejected, delayed, or returned.
Borden County Sheriff's Office Booking
Booking after a Borden County arrest may involve a custody handoff. The practical sequence is arrest or warrant service, transport, administrative intake, identity check, property inventory, photo and fingerprints, health screening, classification by the receiving facility, magistration, bond review, and then release, outside housing, transfer, or another agency hold. The sheriff page does not publish a booking lobby or online recent-booking list.
Bond questions should start with current custody location. Ask whether bond has been set, which court or magistrate set it, whether any holds prevent release, what payment methods are accepted, and where payment must be made. Commercial bail bonds, cash bonds, personal bonds, property bonds, and no-bond holds have different effects. The holding facility and court record should be reconciled before payment.
Borden County Sheriff's Office Records
Public-record requests should go to the office that created or maintains the record. Arrest and custody records start with the sheriff. Filed criminal cases start with the county or district clerk. Prosecution questions may route to the county attorney or district attorney. A written request should include the person's name, date of birth if known, arrest date, record type, case or incident number if known, and preferred delivery method. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 permits exceptions and redactions.
The Borden County Clerk page is relevant once the search moves from custody routing to court records.
That clerk source is separate from sheriff custody routing and should be used when filed records are the goal.
Borden County Custody Alternatives
No TDCJ unit, BOP facility, or ICE detention center was found inside Borden County. Still, a Borden County arrest can lead to those systems later or in special cases. TDCJ covers sentenced Texas prisoners. BOP covers federal prisoners and released federal records back to 1982 through its locator. USMS may control federal pretrial custody before BOP designation. ICE ODLS covers immigration detainees and does not publish mugshots.
Note: Confirm the current holding agency before scheduling visits, sending money, mailing letters, or relying on a search result.
