Bi-State Jail

How to Find Someone in the Bi-State Jail

Sheriff Jeff Neal's page links the Bowie County Inmate Search. Look at the housing field: a Bi-State assignment means the person is in the Justice Building on State Line Avenue, and the SO number there goes on every letter or visit request.

What is the process to pay bail for someone detained in Bowie County?

After an individual is apprehended and taken to Bi-State Jail in Texarkana for booking, their release options vary based on the situation:

1. They might be released without bail, on the condition they appear in court on a scheduled date.
2. They may be detained until their court appearance.
3. They may be eligible for release after posting a bail or bond.  Call 903-798-3149 for the exact bail amount.

There are different ways to settle an individual's bail or bond.

• To post a cash bond, pay the full amount at the jail bonding window or the clerk's office by cash, cashier's check or money order; many facilities also accept cards at a lobby kiosk or through an online bond vendor for a fee, and you will need the inmate's full name and booking number (jail phone: 903-798-3149).
• A licensed bail bondsman in Bowie County can assist with payment.
• Real property such as land or a house is accepted as collateral by many courts, provided the owner proves clear title and equity worth at least the bond, frequently twice the bond, with a deed and a current tax or appraisal value; the court that set bail signs off on it.
