Finding Someone in Custody in Weatherford
The county jail, run by the Parker County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Weatherford, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Parker County Sheriff's Office at parkercountytx.gov/138/Sheriff (page title: Sheriff | Parker County, TX), phone 817-594-8845, 129 Hogle St. Weatherford, TX 76086, Monday - Sunday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 30, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster, so a search for a particular person goes through the office at 817-594-8845.

The FBI's agency list also places four other agencies and one campus police department in Parker County (the arrest records guide names each one).
The Azle Police Department, Reno Police Department, Parker County, the Mineral Wells Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Parker County, so their arrests are not broken out for Parker County here.

From the Jail to State Prison
