Fisher County Jail Overview
Fisher County Law Enforcement Center / Jail is best read as the Fisher County Sheriff's Office custody contact and the local jail reference point, not as a public online roster site. The official Fisher County Sheriff page names Sheriff John Patrick "Pat" Dickson, lists the sheriff's office at 207 E. North 1st St. in Roby, and gives the jail phone number used for custody, jail, warrant, civil-process, court-security, and bail-bond questions. The operator is the Fisher County Sheriff's Office, which remains the first local office to call when a person was arrested in Fisher County or when a family member needs to know where the person was taken.
The key point is current status. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports show Fisher as "Fisher (no jail)" in 2026. The June 1, 2026 county row lists capacity but shows no local jail population and records Fisher inmates in the housed-elsewhere column. That means Fisher County inmate lookup does not work like a county with a live roster page. A person can still be a Fisher County arrestee, have local charges, and need Fisher County bond or court information, while the physical bed is in another county jail or later in a state or federal system.
The official Law Enforcement Center page points readers to county bond-election material about the facility and its jail history. That source is useful for understanding why Fisher County jail records must be handled with care. It describes an older jail building, state standards concerns, and a recommendation for a new minimum facility. It does not create an online Fisher County roster, a current visitation calendar, or a commissary portal.
Fisher County Jail Capacity
TCJS reporting gives the best current population source for Fisher County jail status. The June 1, 2026 TCJS county jail population workbook labels the county as "Fisher (no jail)," lists capacity at 24, shows local jail population as 0, and reports 7 Fisher County inmates housed elsewhere in in-state counties. The TCJS incarceration-rate workbook for the same 2026 reporting period lists Fisher (No Jail) with countywide population 3,665, ADP 10, and rate 2.73. Those figures support a page that treats the facility as the sheriff/jail contact point while warning that the inmate may be held outside Fisher County.
| Measure | Figure | Source and Date |
|---|---|---|
| TCJS county label | Fisher (no jail) | TCJS county jail population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Listed capacity | 24 | TCJS county jail population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Local jail population | 0 | TCJS county jail population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Fisher inmates housed elsewhere | 7 | TCJS county jail population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Average daily population | 10 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Incarceration rate | 2.73 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
The county's Law Enforcement Center presentation gives the longer facility background. It says the older Fisher County jail was built in 1928 with 15 original beds, listed as 13 for men and 2 for women. TCJS later reduced that facility to 12 because of unsafe conditions, and a facilities-needs analysis recommended a 24-bed minimum facility with master planning to 48 beds if later need required it. The TCJS 2026 row still carries 24 in the capacity column, but the operational label and local population count show that Fisher County custody questions now need the housed-elsewhere path.
Find Fisher County Jail Inmates
No official Fisher County public jail roster, recent-booking list, mugshot gallery, or inmate profile database was located on the county or sheriff site. The correct Fisher County inmate search route starts with the sheriff's office, then branches based on where the person is actually housed. VINELink Texas can help with custody-status notification, but it is not the same as a complete jail roster. County and district clerk records can confirm charges and court settings, but they do not show current jail housing.
- Call the Fisher County Sheriff's Office / Law Enforcement Center-Jail at 325-776-2273. Give the full legal name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and arresting agency if known.
- Ask whether the person is in Fisher County custody, has been released, was transferred, or is housed in another county jail. If housed elsewhere, ask for the receiving facility name and any booking number that facility uses.
- Use VINELink Texas for custody-status searching and notifications when the holding agency participates. Do not treat a missing VINE result as proof that no arrest occurred.
- For misdemeanor case records, check the Fisher County Clerk and the Local Government Solutions portal. For felony or district-court matters, use the District Clerk and court channels.
- If the person has been sentenced to state prison, search the TDCJ inmate search. For federal custody use BOP, and for immigration detention use ICE ODLS.
Booking can lag behind arrest in a small county. A person may be in transport, waiting for magistrate review, or moving to a receiving jail before any public system shows a result. Fisher County court records may also appear before, after, or apart from a custody update, so use court dockets and clerk records as charge and hearing tools rather than as proof of the current jail bed.
Fisher County Jail Contact
The sheriff's office is the practical contact point for Fisher County Law Enforcement Center / Jail records and custody routing. Call before traveling because the TCJS status means the person you are trying to find may be in another jail. The same phone number is the place to ask where bond can be posted, whether an approved bonding company list is current, and which office accepts a written Texas Public Information Act request for booking or arrest records.

County-jail and sheriff contact point
The official sheriff page shows the Fisher County Sheriff's Office contact information, VINELink link, and bonding-company resource. The screenshot below is from that source, which is the main local channel for custody confirmation when no Fisher County roster is available.
The sheriff source supports the phone-first lookup path because it lists the jail contact number and points users to VINELink rather than to a Fisher-hosted public roster.
Fisher County Jail Visits
No current official Fisher County jail visitation schedule, video-visit vendor, inmate handbook, or public visit-registration page was located. That absence fits the TCJS 2026 status showing no local jail population. For Fisher County inmates housed elsewhere, the receiving jail's rules control the visit type, visit days, ID requirements, dress rules, mail format, and property limits. For sentenced TDCJ prisoners, county jail visit rules do not apply because TDCJ has its own visitation process.
| Visit Issue | Fisher County Status | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| In-person visitation | No current Fisher schedule located | Call 325-776-2273 and ask which facility is holding the person. |
| Video visitation | No Fisher vendor located | Use the receiving jail's official video rules if the person is housed elsewhere. |
| Visitor approval | No local process located | Ask the physical holding facility about ID, age limits, and registration. |
| Attorney visits | No public Fisher policy located | Attorneys should call the sheriff, receiving jail, and court as needed. |
| TDCJ visits | Separate state process | Use TDCJ visitation after a state-prison transfer. |
Bring government-issued identification for any law-enforcement or jail visit, and do not assume phones, bags, recording devices, tools, or purses can enter a secure area. If the visit is really for court, filing, or copies, confirm whether the courthouse, County Clerk, District Clerk, or sheriff is the correct stop before leaving for Roby.
Note: Confirm the physical holding facility before traveling, mailing items, or trying to schedule a Fisher County jail visit.
Fisher County Jail Mail
No Fisher-specific inmate mail format, commissary provider, phone provider, tablet program, money-deposit service, or fee schedule was located on the official sheriff or Law Enforcement Center pages. Do not send inmate mail or money to Fisher County until custody location is confirmed. If the person is housed in a receiving county jail, that jail's exact address format, inmate ID requirement, approved sender rules, and deposit vendor control the process. If the person is in TDCJ, BOP, or ICE custody, use that agency's rules instead of Fisher County jail assumptions.
| Service | Known Fisher County Detail | Practical Route |
|---|---|---|
| No current Fisher inmate-mail format located | Confirm the receiving facility and use its exact mail format. | |
| Phone calls | No Fisher jail phone vendor located | Ask the physical holding facility for the phone account provider. |
| Money deposit | No Fisher commissary or fee schedule located | Use the receiving jail or TDCJ-approved deposit process after custody is confirmed. |
| Books and legal mail | No local policy located | Check the receiving facility before sending books, legal mail, or documents. |
| Bond | Sheriff publishes an approved bonding-company list | Call 325-776-2273 to verify bond status and current approved companies. |
The Fisher County sheriff's approved bonding-company PDF is a bond resource, not a commissary list. It can help after the sheriff or receiving jail confirms bond has been set, but Texas bond decisions depend on the court, the charge, holds, and Article 17.15 bail factors. Ask whether bond must be posted with Fisher County, the receiving jail, a clerk, or another agency before sending anyone to pay.
Fisher County Booking Intake
Fisher County does not publish a detailed booking guide, but the research gives enough to describe the local path. An arrest in Fisher County starts with law enforcement and may involve the sheriff/law-enforcement-center contact point, then a receiving jail if Fisher County has no local bed in use. Intake normally includes identity checks, arrest paperwork, property inventory, search, fingerprints, a booking photo, health screening, classification, housing assignment, magistrate warnings, and bond review. In Fisher County, the housing assignment step is the one most likely to require a second call because the bed may be outside the county.
Texas public-information law can make basic arrest information available while still allowing exceptions for confidential records, active law-enforcement interests, juveniles, medical data, and other protected information. If phone confirmation is not enough, ask the sheriff which office receives a written request for the booking record, arrest report, or booking photo. Court-file copies follow a separate route: misdemeanor A and B matters generally point to the County Clerk, while felony and district-court records point to the District Clerk and 32nd District Court.
- Booking
- The jail intake step that records identity, arrest paperwork, property, fingerprints, and custody status.
- Receiving jail
- A different county or agency facility that physically houses a Fisher County inmate.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another agency that may affect release, transfer, or bond.
- TDCJ
- The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, used for sentenced state-prison and state-jail custody.
About Fisher County Jail
The county's Law Enforcement Center material explains why Fisher County jail capacity appears in the records even while the current TCJS status says "no jail." The county presentation says the old jail was built in 1928, began with 15 original beds, and was later reduced to 12 because of unsafe conditions. It also says the facility had long-running TCJS variances and concerns such as cell-area hazards, separation-cell limits, plumbing, controls, heating and cooling, security, and general deterioration. A TCJS facilities-needs analysis recommended a 24-bed minimum facility and master planning to 48 beds if future demand required it.
Fisher County's Law Enforcement Center page links the project materials and images tied to the county facility discussion. The screenshot below shows the county source that leads to the bond-election presentation and plan documents.
The Law Enforcement Center source is useful for facility history and planning, while TCJS remains the source for current population status and housed-elsewhere figures.
The practical result is simple: Fisher County Law Enforcement Center / Jail is the local name and sheriff contact point, but a current inmate lookup must follow the actual custody trail. Start with the sheriff, confirm the holding facility, then use VINELink, the receiving jail, the County Clerk or District Clerk, TDCJ, BOP, or ICE as the facts require. That prevents a search from stopping at a missing roster when the person may still be in custody under a Fisher County arrest or court case.
