Finding Someone in Custody in Parmer County
The county jail, run by the Parmer County Sheriff's Office, holds everyone kept in custody after an arrest in Parmer County, from every agency.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Parmer County Sheriff's Office at parmercounty.org/jail-roster (page title: Parmer County Jail Inmate Roster and Search, TX), phone 806-481-3303, a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
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.
