Dimmit County Jail Roster Overview
The official local source for Dimmit County inmate records is the Dimmit County Sheriff's Office Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements page. The portal is hosted by Southern Software and is linked from the sheriff's public Citizen Connect site. It is framed around current confinements and admit searches rather than a historical jail archive. During research, the current-confinements endpoint returned a "Total Inmates: 83" count on June 29, 2026, but live roster counts are only point-in-time data. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards remains the official source for monthly capacity and jail population reporting.
The roster does not answer every inmate-record question. It is best for a person now in Dimmit County Jail or recently admitted. A sentenced Texas prisoner should be searched through the TDCJ Inmate Information Search. A sentenced federal prisoner should be searched through the BOP Inmate Locator. Adult immigration detention is searched through ICE ODLS, and notification users can check VINELink Texas when the record is supported.
Use the Dimmit County Inmate Roster
The roster works best when the search is treated as a custody path, not just a name lookup. Start with current confinement if the arrest is active. Use the recent-admit controls if the booking just occurred. Use the charge or arresting-agency tools when the name is uncertain, the person was arrested by another agency, or the arrest may have come through a court warrant. If the person is not found, call the sheriff before assuming release.
- Open the Dimmit County Sheriff's Office Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements page.
- Choose Current Confinements and click Get Current Confinements if cards do not load.
- Use Last 24 Hour Admits or Last 7 Days Admits for a fresh booking.
- Use Admits by Date Range for a known booking window in MM/DD/YYYY format.
- Search by Charge or Arresting Agency when the search is offense or agency based.
- Open View Full Details to read the booking detail page.
The Citizen Connect home portal shows the sheriff's public navigation and the Inmate Confinements entry.
The Citizen Connect portal matters because it is the public bridge between the sheriff's office and the roster tools used for Dimmit County inmate records.
Dimmit County Roster Search Fields
The Dimmit County jail roster uses tabs and action buttons rather than a single last-name box. The arresting-agency dropdown is long and locally useful. It includes DIMMIT CO SO CARRIZO SPRINGS, DPS Dimmit, Carrizo Springs Consolidated School District Police Department, nearby county sheriff offices, court agencies, and other law-enforcement entries. That can help distinguish a sheriff arrest from a DPS, school district, court, or outside-county arrest delivered to Dimmit County custody.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Confinements tab | Tab/button area | No | Button: Get Current Confinements. |
| Get Last 24 Hour Admits | Submit button | No | One-click admit view. |
| Get Last 7 Days Admits | Submit button | No | One-click weekly admit view. |
| Custom date range | Radio/date fields | Only when selected | Start and end dates use MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Charge | Text | No | Search by charge text, with DUI shown as the placeholder example. |
| Arresting Agency | Dropdown | No | Filters by agency name and ORI code. |
Dimmit County Inmate Profile Fields
A Dimmit County inmate profile is a booking display. The research inspected a public booking-detail endpoint and current-confinement cards. The sample showed a booking photo, demographics, DOB, booked date, arresting agency, arrest date and time, bond total, charge count, charge text, bond amount, and bond type. The sample did not show a housing unit, court date, warrant number, judge, home address, height, weight, release date, or court case number. Some cards had blank arresting-agency or charge fields, so a missing field should be read as incomplete display, not as proof that the event did not exist.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name | Full public booking name. |
| Booking photo | Visible mugshot thumbnail if available, with fallback logic. |
| Demographics | Age, race code, and sex code. |
| Date of Birth | DOB in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| Booked | Booking date. |
| Arresting Agency | Agency and ORI code when populated. |
| Bond Total | Total bond amount when available. |
| Charges | Charge count, charge name, bond amount, and bond type. |
The sample booking-detail page used in research shows the public field layout.
The sample booking-detail page is useful for field inventory only; it should not be treated as a current custody count or as the full court record.
Dimmit County Custody Channels
Dimmit County inmate records split by custody system. A person held before trial or on a short local sentence belongs in the county jail path. A sentenced state prisoner leaves that path after transfer to TDCJ. Federal and immigration custody use federal tools. VINELink adds notification, but it is not a full roster or court file. This distinction prevents a common error: looking for a sentenced state prisoner in a county jail roster, or looking for a new county booking in the state prison locator.
| Custody | Where to Look | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| County jail | Citizen Connect Inmate Confinements | Current Dimmit County Jail custody and recent admits. |
| State prison | TDCJ Inmate Information Search | Currently incarcerated TDCJ prisoners. |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Sentenced federal prisoners. |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Adult ICE detainees by A-Number or biographical search. |
| Notification | VINELink Texas | Custody and release alerts when available. |
Dimmit County has no TDCJ unit, BOP prison, or adult ICE detention facility identified in the official facility research. That makes the first local step simpler, but it also makes transfer checks more important. A person can be booked locally, appear in the roster for a short period, and then move to another jurisdiction after bond, sentence, warrant transport, or agency pickup. When that happens, the roster may no longer be the active record even though the arrest began in Dimmit County.
Dimmit County Jail Contact
The research resolved one local detention facility: Dimmit County Jail, operated by the Dimmit County Sheriff's Office. The official county sheriff page publishes a mailing address and phone number, but it does not publish a verified physical jail visitor entrance, jail lobby hours, visitor parking, or booking-counter hours. For records, custody status, visitation, property, mail, or bond questions, use the phone number before traveling or mailing anything.

Booking Process in Dimmit County
Dimmit County did not publish a local booking manual in the official sources located. The public record trail still shows the likely local sequence. An arresting agency delivers the person to sheriff custody or another approved holding point. Jail staff create a booking record, identify the person, collect property, complete security and medical screening under jail standards, and enter charge or warrant data. A booking photo may be taken and displayed on Citizen Connect when available. Bond information appears after a magistrate or court sets it, or when a warrant carries bond terms.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 controls the magistrate warning stage after arrest. At that stage, the person is advised of the accusation and rights, and bail may be addressed depending on the warrant and charge. The charge label on a roster card can later change. Prosecutors, courts, or grand juries can amend, reduce, dismiss, or replace it. For the case record after arrest, use the District Clerk, County Clerk, Justice of the Peace, or re:SearchTX path described on the Dimmit County court records after jail arrest page.
Dimmit County Jail Visits
Official Dimmit County visitation, mail, commissary, inmate phone, money-deposit, and video-visitation details were not published in the official county pages located. No official Securus, GTL/ViaPath, HomeWAV, Access Corrections, JPay, JailATM, Tiger, commissary, mail-scanning, or video-scheduling link was found for Dimmit County. That means local visit and mail rules should be verified with the sheriff before any trip, deposit, letter, or property attempt.
| Visit Type | Schedule | Source Status |
|---|---|---|
| Public or family in-person visits | Not located in official sources | Call (830) 876-3508. |
| Remote video visits | Not located in official sources | No official vendor page located. |
| Attorney visits | Not located in official sources | Confirm directly with the jail or sheriff. |
| Holiday or emergency visitation | Not located in official sources | Confirm before travel. |
Note: Do not assume the sheriff's P.O. Box is an inmate-mail address or visitor entrance unless the Sheriff's Office confirms it.
Dimmit County Inmate Funds
No official Dimmit County deposit vendor or fee schedule was located. Do not send a money order, use an online vendor, or travel to a kiosk unless the sheriff confirms the method for the person in custody. The same rule applies to mail, property release, phone accounts, and video visits. TDCJ, BOP, and ICE each have their own rules for money, mail, phones, and visitation, so a transfer changes the correct contact point.
| Deposit Method | Fee | Source Status |
|---|---|---|
| Online deposit | Not located | No official Dimmit vendor found. |
| Lobby kiosk | Not located | Confirm by phone before travel. |
| Phone deposit | Not located | No official phone-deposit provider found. |
| Mail money order | Not located | Do not recommend unless sheriff confirms. |
For money or commissary questions, confirm three facts before acting: that the person is still in Dimmit County Jail, that the sheriff accepts the planned payment method, and that the recipient's booking name or identifier is correct. Public roster fields can be blank or delayed, and the research did not locate a local vendor page that would independently verify deposits. If custody has moved to TDCJ, federal prison, or ICE, the county jail's rules no longer control.
