Finding Someone in Custody in Edwards County
The county jail, run by the Edwards County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Edwards County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Edwards County Sheriff's Office at edwardscountysheriff.org/inmate-roster (page title: Inmate Roster | Edwards County Sheriff’s Office), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 4, 2026.
That page is the place to look for someone booked recently. A person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
