Archer County Inmate Roster
Archer County provides an online inmate roster through the Sheriff's Office website.

Search results typically show the booking number, last name, first name, date of birth, release date if applicable, and current charges.
The roster is updated regularly to reflect current inmate populations. If you can't find someone on the online roster, they may have been recently released, transferred to another facility, or not yet processed into the system. In those cases, call the jail directly for confirmation.
For inmates who have been transferred to state or federal custody, the Archer County online roster will not show their status. Use the TDCJ Inmate Search for state prison inmates or the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal detainees.
