Finding Someone in Custody in Falls County
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Falls County is held at the county jail, run by the Falls County Sheriff's Office, whichever agency made the arrest.
SearchSystems opened and checked the jail page of the Falls County Sheriff's Office at co.falls.tx.us/page/Sheriff (page title: County Sheriff | Falls County, Texas), phone 254-883-1431, 2847 State Highway 6 Marlin, TX 76661, 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 254-883-1431.
