Armstrong County Offenders are housed in the Carson County Jail Inmate Search

Armstrong County Inmate Search

Since the Claude jail closed in 2022, Armstrong County arrestees have been held out of county, and right now that means Panhandle. Three places to check:

• Carson County Jail: 806-537-3511. Staff confirm custody, the charges, the bond on each count and the booking number.
• IVSS-Counties: ivss-counties.tdcj.texas.gov, the Texas custody search and notification service for county jails (help line 866-268-8959). Look up the name, then register to be alerted at release or transfer.
• Armstrong County Sheriff's Office: 806-553-6933, for warrants and Armstrong County arrests in general.

The county has also contracted with Potter County for beds, with an agreement that ran through 2024. Every Armstrong County inmate is now housed by Carson County, according to the Claude Sheriff’s Office (806-553-6933).

If the person has left county custody

• Sent to a state prison or state jail: search the TDCJ inmate lookup.
• Federal case: the Bureau of Prisons locator tracks people once they reach federal custody.
• Held on an immigration detainer: locator.ice.gov finds adults in ICE custody.
• Arrested by another agency: Amarillo, Canyon, Pampa, Clarendon and Tulia each sit in counties with their own jails; our map of jails near Armstrong County lists them.
• Under 17: youths go through juvenile probation and the juvenile court, never an adult jail; PAPDO represents juveniles in Armstrong County cases.
