The Randall County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail at 9100 Canyon Dr in Amarillo. Despite being the county seat, Canyon is a separate city from Amarillo.

The jail handles a high volume of bookings given Randall County's large share of the Amarillo metro area population.

The jail roster is updated daily. You can check current inmate information through the Randall County website or by calling the sheriff's office at (806) 468-5700. Each booking entry shows the person's name, charges, bond amount, booking date, and arresting agency. The county website also posts tax rate information, burn ban notices, and civic alert signups.

What Randall County Booking Records Contain

A booking record is created every time someone is arrested and processed at the Randall County Jail. Those records are public under the Texas Public Information Act. A standard Randall County booking release includes the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, all charges, bond amount, arresting agency, and intake date and time. Release details are added once the person leaves custody.

Not all records are open to the public. Active investigation records may be withheld. Juvenile records are confidential. Medical records and child abuse investigation files are exempt. If a request touches those categories, the Sheriff's Office may withhold information or ask the Texas Attorney General for a ruling.

Randall County's jail serves the southern part of the Amarillo metro. Arrests by Amarillo Police in the Randall County portion of the city, by Randall County Sheriff's deputies, by Canyon Police, and by DPS troopers all feed into this facility. An arrest record is not a conviction. Bond amounts at booking may change after arraignment. For case status, contact the Randall County District Clerk at (806) 468-5505 or search reSearchTX.
