Finding Someone in Custody in Bosque County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Bosque County is held at the county jail, run by the Bosque County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Bosque County Sheriff's Office at bosquecounty.gov/m/directory/department?did=22 (page title: Staff Directory, Sheriff's Office & Jail), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 23, 2026.
That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster.
