Lookup Morris County Jail Inmates

Morris County Jail Overview

Morris County Jail is the only detention facility listed in the Morris County facility map for county-level custody. The official county sheriff page identifies the jail at 502 Union Street in Daingerfield and lists the Morris County Sheriff's Office as the operating agency. Sheriff Jack Martin is named on the same official page. The facility handles local arrests and short-term jail custody rather than state prison, federal prison, or immigration detention.

The jail population can include pretrial defendants, local sentenced inmates, parole or bench-warrant holds, and people waiting for a state transfer after conviction. TCJS category rows reviewed for Morris County also showed pretrial Class A and B misdemeanants, pretrial felons, parole violators, state jail felons, contract inmates, and housed-elsewhere categories. Those labels shift by month. A person may be connected to Morris County Jail even when court, state, or transfer status is the reason ordinary release is delayed.

The Morris County Sheriff's Office page is the main local source for the facility name, sheriff, address, phone numbers, VINELink route, and jail-rule links. It does not publish a public inmate roster, a booking report, or a mugshot gallery. That makes direct jail contact and records requests more important than in counties with a searchable jail vendor portal.

Morris County Jail Capacity

The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports give the clearest public population figures for Morris County Jail. The current population spreadsheet inspected in June 2026 listed Morris County Jail with a rated capacity of 48 beds. The latest Morris row in that file showed 32 people in jail, which is 66.67 percent of capacity. TCJS incarceration-rate data also showed average daily population moving from the low 20s in much of 2024 to the low 30s by 2026.

A 48-bed jail changes percentages fast. A few bookings, releases, transports, or holds can move Morris County Jail from below half full to near three quarters full. The latest rows reviewed did not show the jail above rated capacity, and the highest recent total noted in the research reached 36 people, or 75 percent of capacity. No official annual booking count or average length of stay was found in the county or TCJS materials reviewed.

Morris County Jail Lookup

No official online Morris County Jail roster, recent-bookings page, or mugshot gallery was found on the county or sheriff website. For current custody, start with the jail phone number and ask staff how current status may be confirmed. Have the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency. For broader custody context, the Morris County jail inmate records page explains the same official channel chain in more detail.

1. Call Morris County Jail at 903-645-2232, or use the county contact-list sheriff number, 903-645-2322, for custody routing.
2. If booking was recent, ask whether intake has been completed and whether any bond, hold, or transfer status can be released.
3. For in-person routing, use the sheriff and jail address on Union Street, but call first because public-counter hours were not published.
4. For records not available by phone, direct a narrow request to the sheriff under the Texas Public Information Act.
5. After charges are filed, check Morris County's Court Records Inquiry for court case information. The login screen lists Public as the username and Public as the password.
6. For victim notification or release alerts, use Texas VINELink, which is linked from the sheriff page.
7. For state custody after transfer, use the TDCJ inmate search. For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP locator or ICE ODLS.

Morris County Jail Contact

Use the jail number for custody and facility-rule questions. The county contact list gives a separate sheriff number, so both should be kept with clear labels. Public lobby hours were not found on the sheriff page, and the research did not locate a separate detention-records unit page. Call before going in person, especially for visits, records routing, or questions about mail and inmate trust funds.

The official screenshot capture for the Morris County sheriff page shows the jail address, phone number, sheriff name, and links to inmate jail rules.

That page is useful for local contact details, but it should not be treated as an online Morris County Jail roster because no searchable inmate list appears there.

Morris County Jail Visits

The Morris County inmate rules give a narrow in-person visitation schedule. Visits are by sight and sound in jail visitation booths, last 20 minutes, and are limited to two visitors per day. Visitors may visit twice each week. Valid identification is required for all visitors, including children. Children under 12 may visit with an adult, count as one visit, and only one child per adult is allowed in the booth. Out-of-town visitor arrangements must go through the Chief Jailer.

No official video visitation vendor, remote visit fee, dress-code list, parking instruction, or attorney visit schedule was found in the local sources reviewed. Confirm the current visit status with the jail before leaving for Daingerfield because a small facility may adjust access for staffing, court transport, lockdown, or medical needs.

Morris County Jail Mail

Morris County Jail rules say incoming mail is opened and inspected for contraband before delivery. Privileged mail, such as attorney or court mail, is protected in normal handling. If staff have reason to believe privileged mail contains contraband, it may be opened in the inmate's presence only for a contraband check. The research did not locate a more detailed mail-address format, book vendor rule, or package policy. Use the inmate's name and the jail address, then call for booking-number or format requirements before mailing.

Phone rules are also local. Inmates cannot go to booking to make calls, and inmates in separation cells receive phone calls on reasonable request. Nuisance or threatening calls may lead to discipline, loss of phone privileges, or criminal charges. No official phone vendor or price schedule was located.

Morris County Jail Rules

The inmate rules document medical requests, grievances, discipline, property, cleaning duties, and the TCJS complaint process. Medical request forms are collected each morning when breakfast trays are picked up. The request must include the inmate's name, date, reason for wanting to see the doctor, and signature, and the form becomes part of the inmate record. Charges may be deducted from the inmate account unless the person is indigent.

Grievances must be written on the form provided by jail staff and sent to the Grievance Officer, identified in the research as the Chief Jailer. Results are returned within 15 days. Disciplinary appeals go to the sheriff within five days. The rules also say the Chief Deputy serves as disciplinary officer if the Chief Jailer is involved in the claimed violation.

Morris County Jail Standards

The most recent official compliance item found was a TCJS Notice of Non-Compliance for Morris County Jail dated December 8, 2025. The notice cited minimum standard 275.1 after a custodial death video review. It stated that required face-to-face observations were not conducted as mandated by minimum standards. Corrective action was required upon receipt of the notice.

TCJS standard 275.1 involves jailer staffing and observation. The notice describes required personal checks at least every 60 minutes, 30-minute checks for high-risk categories, two-way voice communication capability, and the point that cameras cannot replace required face-to-face observation. The county materials reviewed did not include a new jail-construction notice, jail closure notice, consent decree, DOJ investigation, or official explanation for the rise in average daily population.
