Fisher County Inmate Population Snapshot
The central fact about the Fisher County inmate population is that the county still has a sheriff and a Law Enforcement Center/Jail contact point, but the current Texas Commission on Jail Standards data does not show a local jail population. The TCJS current population reports label the county as "Fisher (no jail)" in 2026. The June 1, 2026 county row lists capacity, no local jail total, and Fisher inmates housed by other in-state counties.
That changes how custody search works. A person can be arrested in Fisher County, have bond and court matters handled by Fisher County officials, and still be physically held outside the county. The Fisher County Sheriff's Office remains the first local contact for custody, booking, bonding-company, and VINELink questions. The receiving jail, court clerk, TDCJ, BOP, or ICE may then control the next record.
Fisher County Inmate Population Statistics
The June 1, 2026 TCJS reports give the most useful current count. Fisher County appears with no local jail population, seven Fisher inmates housed elsewhere, and an average daily population value of ten in the incarceration-rate workbook. The same row reports no federal inmates and no contract inmates. These are jail-population measures, not a list of named people.
| Measure | Figure | Source / Date |
|---|---|---|
| Listed jail 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 |
| Percent of local capacity | 0% | TCJS County Jail Population workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Average daily population | 10 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| County population used for rate | 3,665 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
| Incarceration rate | 2.73 | TCJS incarceration-rate workbook, June 1, 2026 |
The TCJS population-report page is the correct source for these figures because Texas sheriffs report jail data to the state. A county website, a docket, or a court portal may help find a person, but those pages do not replace the statewide population spreadsheets.
Fisher County Inmate Population Trends
The Fisher County inmate population trend is a housed-elsewhere trend, not an overcrowded local-block trend. TCJS data already showed zero local jail total in mid-2025 while Fisher inmates were held by other counties. In January 2026 the label changed to "Fisher (no jail)," and the housed-elsewhere count stayed in the state row.
| Date | TCJS Label | Local Total | Housed Elsewhere | ADP / Rate Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July 1, 2025 | Fisher | 0 | 8 | ADP 8, rate 2.21 |
| October 1, 2025 | Fisher | 0 | 12 | ADP 8, rate 2.18 |
| January 1, 2026 | Fisher (no jail) | 0 | 14 | ADP 9, rate 2.46 |
| March 1, 2026 | Fisher (no jail) | 0 | 12 | ADP 10, rate 2.73 |
| June 1, 2026 | Fisher (no jail) | 0 | 7 | ADP 10, rate 2.73 |
For search purposes, the trend means an online Fisher County jail roster should not be assumed. The more reliable method is to confirm whether the person is a Fisher County arrestee, where the person is physically housed, and which office or locator now has the current record.
Fisher County Jail Population Makeup
The June 1, 2026 TCJS row shows seven Fisher inmates housed elsewhere. The nonzero categories in that row were six elsewhere male pretrial felons and one elsewhere male bench-warrant category. Female counts in those categories were zero. Federal male and female inmate counts were also zero, and no contract inmates were reported in the Fisher row.
This is a custody-category breakdown. It is not a full demographic report. Fisher County did not publish annual booking totals, average length of stay, race or ethnicity tables, age bands, or a complete gender breakdown in the researched county sources. Where those facts are absent, the page should stay with TCJS-published categories.
Fisher County Jail Capacity History
The official Fisher County Law Enforcement Center page points to local building materials that explain why population and housing status matter. The county presentation says the older jail was constructed in 1928, originally held 15 people, and was later reduced to 12 by TCJS because of unsafe conditions. The same presentation described eleven variances, life-safety concerns, exposed wiring, separation-cell issues, plumbing problems, and poor heating and cooling.
The county materials also describe a TCJS facilities-needs analysis that recommended a 24-bed minimum facility, master planned to 48 beds if future need required it. TCJS 2026 workbooks still carry 24 as the capacity figure while listing zero local population. The result is a local page that must distinguish the sheriff/jail contact point from actual current housing.
TCJS non-compliant jail information explains the state standards context for counties with verified minimum-standards problems. Fisher County search copy should rely on the current official population reports first, while using local building history to explain why out-of-county housing appears in the data.
Laws Behind Fisher County Inmate Data
Texas law explains why several different record channels matter. Jail population reports, booking facts, court records, bail decisions, and death-in-custody notices are not one database. Each record is created by a different office and released under a different rule.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 gives the public a right to request public information from Texas governmental bodies, subject to exceptions.
Texas Government Code Section 511.009 directs TCJS to adopt minimum standards for county jail construction, operation, custody, care, staffing, and programs.
37 Texas Administrative Code Section 269.11 requires sheriffs to submit monthly jail population reports to TCJS.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 49.18 governs death-in-custody reporting by the responsible agency or facility official.
Search Fisher County Inmate Custody
No official Fisher County jail roster, recent-booking list, inmate profile database, or mugshot gallery was located on the official county or sheriff site. The search path therefore starts with the Sheriff's Office. Call 325-776-2273 and ask whether the person was arrested by Fisher County, booked and released, transferred, or housed in another county. If the person is held elsewhere, ask for the receiving jail name and any booking number the receiving jail uses.
After the local call, use VINELink Texas for custody-status notifications. VINE is not a full roster, and a missing VINE result does not prove no arrest occurred. It is best used for status changes once a participating jail or agency has data in the system.
- Call the sheriff and provide the person's full legal name, date of birth if known, and arrest date if known.
- Ask whether the person is in Fisher County custody, housed elsewhere, released, or transferred.
- Check VINELink Texas for custody status and notification registration.
- Use the receiving jail's official roster or phone line if Fisher County says another county holds the person.
- Search court, TDCJ, BOP, or ICE systems only after the custody type is clear.
The Fisher County jail inmate records page gives the fuller search workflow for roster gaps, receiving-county records, and public-information requests.
Fisher County Roster Search Fields
Because no Fisher County roster form was located, there are no local roster fields to enter. That absence should be stated plainly. The person search begins with identifiers given by phone or through VINE, a receiving jail, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, or a court record.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not available | Not available | Not available | No official Fisher County jail roster, filters, tabs, or inmate profile page was located. |
Fisher County Court Records After Arrest
When a custody search turns into a charge search, the court channel is separate. The Fisher County Clerk page says the Local Government Solutions online records portal includes Misdemeanor A and B criminal records. The Local Government Solutions portal offers account login and a Guest Login option before case searching.
The County Court Dockets page publishes dated criminal docket PDFs. A sample docket shows the court, date, publication date, cause number, State of Texas case style, attorney fields, and record count. It does not show booking number, custody location, mugshot, bond amount, arresting agency, or release status. Felony cases route through the District Clerk, the District Attorney, and the 32nd District Court.
Fisher County State and Federal Search
A person sentenced to Texas prison is no longer a county-jail roster case. Use the TDCJ inmate search for people currently incarcerated in TDCJ custody. TDCJ says the search is updated on working days only and the information is at least 24 hours old. Search can use last name plus first initial, TDCJ number, or SID number.
Federal and immigration custody use different tools. The BOP inmate locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present, including name and register-number search paths. ICE detention uses ICE ODLS, with A-Number plus country of birth or biographical fields. No BOP facility or ICE detention facility was identified in Fisher County.
| Custody Type | Best Starting Point | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Fisher arrest or local hold | Sheriff at 325-776-2273 | Local booking, custody location, bond routing, receiving jail |
| County court misdemeanor | County Clerk / LGS portal | Misdemeanor A and B criminal records |
| Felony or district case | District Clerk / District Attorney | District court filings, felony prosecution, hearings |
| Sentenced Texas prison | TDCJ inmate search | Current TDCJ custody and unit information |
| Federal custody | BOP or USMS channels | Federal sentenced or pretrial custody |
| Immigration detention | ICE ODLS | Immigration detainee location |
Fisher County Detention Facilities
No separate city jail, state prison, federal prison, ICE detention center, or regional detention center physically located in Fisher County was identified from the researched official sources. The facility map therefore contains one local sheriff/jail contact page, with actual housing often controlled by another county or by TDCJ after sentencing.
- Fisher County Law Enforcement Center / Jail - sheriff and jail contact point for Fisher County arrests, bonding-company questions, VINELink routing, and housed-elsewhere custody confirmation.
The official sheriff page names Sheriff John Patrick "Pat" Dickson and lists the sheriff/jail office at 207 E. North 1st St. in Roby. Call before traveling because court offices, clerk counters, and the sheriff/jail contact are not the same place.
Fisher County Custody Terms
Several record terms sound alike but point to different offices. Reading them correctly can prevent a wasted search.
- Booking
- Jail intake after arrest, including identification, fingerprints, property, and possible booking photo.
- Pretrial
- A case stage before conviction or final disposition. Fisher pretrial inmates may be held in another county.
- Detainer
- A hold or notice from another agency that can affect release even when local bond is set.
- PR bond
- A personal recognizance bond, meaning release based on promise and court conditions rather than full cash payment.
- TDCJ
- The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which runs state prison and state jail custody after sentencing.
