Harrison County Jail Facilities
Harrison County owns and operates two separate jail facilities in Marshall. The Main Jail opened in 1993 and holds up to 96 inmates. It sits at 110 South Franklin Street, Marshall, Texas 75670, and serves as the primary intake and processing site for both male and female inmates. This is where booking photographs are taken and initial charges are recorded. The Main Jail handles all new arrivals regardless of the arresting agency.
A second facility, the Travis Street Annex, opened in 2011. It is located at 2200 East Travis, Marshall, Texas 75672, and adds 200 beds for male inmates only. Together the two facilities can hold up to 350 inmates at once. Expansion plans call for additional phases that would eventually bring total capacity to 750 beds. If you are trying to locate someone recently arrested in Harrison County, they may be housed at either location.
The Harrison County Sheriff's Office is accessible online at www.harrisoncountytexas.gov. The Sheriff's Office maintains arrest records and can answer questions about current inmates at both facilities. Contact the office for specific phone numbers and hours before visiting in person.

Harrison County Booking Records
Booking records are created at the point of arrest and contain the most immediate information about a new inmate. They are separate from court records and focus on the intake process. A booking record confirms that a person has been taken into custody, identifies the charges at the time of arrest, and records initial bond information. These records are managed by the Sheriff's Office jail division and may be updated as the case moves through the courts.
