Bi-State Justice Center Inmate Search

Bi-State Justice Center Overview

Bi-State Justice Center is a Bowie County jail and justice-center housing location at 100 North State Line, also shown by county pages as 100 North Stateline Avenue, Texarkana, TX 75501. The Bowie County Inmate Roster separates this location from the Bowie County Detention Center by listing the Bi-State Justice Center address and using the public roster location code BS. The Bowie County Sheriff's Office page also lists Sheriff Jeff Neal at the State Line address and gives 903-798-3149 as the main phone number.

The Bi-State name is not a cosmetic detail. Bowie County sits on the Texas-Arkansas border, and the public roster includes arresting agencies from both sides of Texarkana, including Texarkana Texas Police Department and Texarkana Arkansas Police Department. A person arrested by an Arkansas-side agency can still appear in Bowie County custody if the roster shows a Bowie County jail housing location. The Bi-State Justice Center is also connected to local court and bond activity; the Bowie County Bail Bond Board page says quarterly meetings occur in the District Courtroom at the Bi-State Justice Building.

Bi-State Justice Center Capacity and Population

No official separate bed count for Bi-State Justice Center was located. The accurate published number is the combined Bowie County jail-system capacity reported by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards. TCJS listed Bowie County at 921 beds and 542 total jail population on June 1, 2026, equal to 58.85% of capacity. That system count includes the county jail operation reflected by both the BS and ANNEX housing-location values in the public roster.

The roster count and TCJS population number should not be merged. LockupLists returned 504 visible public roster entries when inspected on June 29, 2026 at 18:02:09 CDT. That is a roster snapshot for public lookup, while TCJS is the official monthly population and capacity reporting source. For a person-specific Bi-State search, use the roster and check whether the housing location is Bi-State Justice Center. For official capacity and average-daily-population analysis, use TCJS.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Bi-State Justice Center

The correct local lookup path is the Bowie County Inmate Roster, hosted by LockupLists for the Bowie County Sheriff's Office. Search by name when only the person's identity is known, or use the booking number if a jail or bond record already lists one. The roster also allows searching by arresting agency and housing location, which is especially useful in Bowie County because the agency list includes Texarkana Texas Police Department, Texarkana Arkansas Police Department, Bowie County Sheriff's Office, New Boston Police Department, United States Marshals, and other local agencies.

1. Open the Bowie County inmate roster from the sheriff page or directly through LockupLists.
2. Review the public-use acknowledgement and note the roster's generated date.
3. Search by name, booking number, inmate number, arrest date, arresting agency, or housing location.
4. Select Bi-State Justice Center in the Housing Location field when the goal is to isolate BS rows.
5. Open the result and verify full name, booking number, arrest date, charge/offense labels, total bond if shown, and housing location.

If the roster does not show the person, use the fallback chain rather than assuming release. Sentenced state-prison transfers use the TDCJ inmate search. Federal sentenced inmates use the BOP inmate locator. Immigration detainees use ICE ODLS. For notifications, check VINELink Texas or the TDCJ IVSS link provided from the sheriff page.

Bi-State Justice Center Address and Contact

The Bi-State address is a key local routing point because it is the sheriff's published address and a justice-center location, while the Front Street detention center is where the official visitation form directs applications to C/O Control. Users should confirm whether their purpose is custody lookup, a jail visit, bond, court, or records before traveling. In Bowie County, those tasks may point to nearby Texarkana buildings or to the New Boston courthouse rather than a single counter.

Visiting Someone at Bi-State Justice Center

County research did not locate a separate Bi-State visiting schedule. The official jail visit source is the Bi-State/Bowie County Detention Center Inmate Visitation Request Form, and its instructions apply to the combined county detention operation unless facility staff provides a different current instruction. The form must be completed by the visitor and mailed or hand delivered to Bowie County Detention Center, C/O Control, 105 W. Front St., Texarkana, TX 75501.

The form requires identifying information, including legal name, address, telephone number, date of birth, sex, race, Social Security number, driver's license number, relationship to the inmate, and conviction-history information outside traffic violations. The form warns that information may be used for a National Crime Information Center background check. Minors must be approved and accompanied by an approved parent or legal guardian. Because no official county visiting-days or visiting-hours table was located, confirm approval and schedule before travel.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Bi-State Justice Center

The public research did not locate a separate Bi-State mail rule page, inmate phone vendor, or video-visitation vendor. For facility-specific mail and communication questions, use the sheriff's main phone and verify the person's current housing location first. The same public roster can show BS or ANNEX, and the correct mailing or delivery instruction may depend on current jail procedures rather than the arresting agency.

The researched county commissary source is Tiger Commissary for Bowie County Detention Center in Texarkana. It supports Web Deposits and Order Commissary for the Bowie County detention operation. Because the vendor page was captured under Bowie County Detention Center rather than a separate Bi-State facility record, confirm that the inmate is eligible for deposits or orders before paying, especially if the roster housing location currently shows BS.

Booking, Court, and Border-County Routing

Bi-State Justice Center records should be read with Bowie County's border geography in mind. The public roster can list Texas and Arkansas-side arresting agencies, and its crime-class options include Texas felony and misdemeanor categories along with Arkansas or unclassified values. That does not mean the person is outside Bowie County custody; the housing-location field is the key custody clue. BS points to Bi-State Justice Center, while ANNEX points to Bowie County Detention Center at Front Street.

The booking record can show arrest date and time, booking number, inmate number, arresting agency, arrest location, offense labels, statute text, crime class, total bond if listed, and mugshot validity. Formal court charges may later appear differently in Bowie County Odyssey Public Access or clerk records. The District Clerk and County Clerk are at the Bowie County Courthouse in New Boston, while JP and bond-related tasks may involve Texarkana locations, including the Bi-State Justice Building. Confirm which office handles the specific task before appearing in person.

Records Requests and Custody Checks

For current Bi-State custody, the first check is the public roster and its generated date. For records not shown online, contact the Bowie County Sheriff's Office at the published main number or use county contact channels, then make a written Texas Public Information Act request if the office requires a formal request. Include full name, booking number, arrest date, housing location, arresting agency, and the requested record type. The sheriff page did not publish a dedicated jail records-request form during research.

The Bowie County Sheriff app is documented for tips, comments, photos, non-emergency calls, and alerts, but the research did not document an app-only inmate roster or warrant search. For custody notifications, use VINELink Texas or the TDCJ IVSS link from the sheriff page. Those tools are useful after release or transfer, but the LockupLists roster remains the local public search for BS jail housing.
