Finding Someone in Custody in Parker County
The county jail, run by the Parker County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Parker County, 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 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
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison, not the jail; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice lists its inmates at inmate.tdcj.texas.gov/InmateSearch/start.
