A jail roster is a custody record, not a court docket. Charges listed at booking are allegations, not convictions. Custody status, bond and release details change constantly, so confirm anything time-sensitive with Marion County Jail or the court. Official source: Marion County Sheriff's Office. If a record on this page is inaccurate, use our corrections and removal page.
Marion County Jail: address, phone and visiting
- Address
- 114 West Austin Street, Jefferson, TX 75657
- Phone
- (903) 665-7201
- Rated capacity
- 36 beds
Call before you travel. Visitation at Marion County Jail is normally scheduled in advance and may be video-only, bonding hours can be shorter than the lobby's opening hours, and both change without much notice. The desk can also confirm whether someone booked in the last few hours is in custody, which a roster sync cannot do.
The federal facility dataset lists Marion County Jail with 36 beds as recorded in 2018, while 8 people appear on the roster published today. Read those two numbers side by side rather than as an occupancy rate: rated capacity is not a live figure, jails open and close housing units, and a roster counts everyone booked into the facility including people being held for other agencies.
Facility details from the DHS HIFLD Prison Boundaries dataset, last recorded 2018-03-01. We publish them as-is and do not independently verify them; if something here is wrong, tell us and we will correct it.

What to do with this information
Posting bond in Marion County
Bond is set by a judge, usually at a first appearance within about 24 to 72 hours of booking. Until a bond amount is set, no one can be released. Once it is set you generally have two options: pay the full amount in cash directly to the detention center, which is refundable at the end of the case, or pay a licensed Texas bail bondsman a non-refundable fee, typically around ten percent, to post the bond for you. Ask the jail which payment methods it accepts and whether bonding hours are limited.
Sending money to someone in custody
Most county jails use a third-party commissary vendor rather than accepting cash at the desk. You will normally need the person's full legal name and booking number, both shown on the roster above. Funds usually appear on the account within a few hours and are used for commissary, phone credit and messaging. Vendor fees vary, so check the amount charged before confirming a deposit.
Phone calls, mail and visitation
Calls are placed by the person in custody, not by you, and are recorded. Visitation is often scheduled in advance and may be video-only. Physical mail is inspected, and many facilities reject anything other than plain letters on white paper. These rules differ from county to county and change often, so verify them with Marion County Jail before making arrangements.
Finding the related Marion County court case
The roster shows custody, not court proceedings. To follow the case itself, including hearing dates, filings and final disposition, you need the Texas court record system for Marion County. Search using the person's full legal name and, where possible, date of birth or case number.
If the person is not on the roster
They may have been released, transferred to another facility, held by a different agency, or booked too recently to appear in the latest sync. People serving longer sentences are usually held by the state department of corrections rather than a county jail, and appear in a separate state system.

Common questions
How do I find out if someone is in Marion County jail?
Search the roster on this page by name, booking number or listed charge. The roster reflects the most recent successful sync from the official Marion County Jail booking source. If the person was booked in the last few hours, or has already been released or transferred, call the jail to confirm.
How do I post bond for someone in Marion County?
Bond is set by the court, not by the jail. Once a bond amount appears it can usually be paid in cash at the detention center, or through a licensed Texas bail bondsman who charges a non-refundable fee. Confirm accepted payment methods and bonding hours with the jail before travelling.
What is the address and phone number for Marion County Jail?
Marion County Jail is at 114 West Austin Street, Jefferson, TX 75657. The published phone number is (903) 665-7201. Call ahead to confirm visiting hours, bonding hours and what you are allowed to bring, because those rules differ by facility and change often.
Why does a charge appear if the person has not been convicted?
A jail roster is a custody record. Listed charges are the allegations recorded at booking. They are not convictions, they can be amended or dropped, and every person is presumed innocent unless a court finds otherwise.
How current is this Marion County roster data?
The latest successful sync was 2026-10-13 19:30 UTC. Custody status changes continuously as people are booked, released or transferred, so treat any time-sensitive detail as provisional until confirmed with the jail or court.
Other counties named Marion
2 other states we cover have a county of the same name. County names repeat across states, so confirm the state before assuming someone is not in custody.
Other Texas county jail rosters
Booking often happens in the county where the incident occurred rather than where the person lives, so neighbouring counties are worth checking when a search comes up empty.
