The Bowie County Jail is the Bowie County Detention Center, which Bowie County operates as its jail through the Bowie County Sheriff's Office. Some records and directory sites still call it the Bowie County Correctional Center. It is licensed by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards for 921 beds across two buildings a few blocks apart in downtown Texarkana, and it held 536 people on August 1, 2026. LaSalle Corrections ran the jail until February 2021. The county has run it directly ever since, and the population is now entirely local. This guide covers the county roster, Tiger Commissary deposits, and what the county publishes about visits, mail and phone calls.

Quick Facts
The Roster
- 1 Bowie County publishes its own live roster at bccc.llhostings.com, linked from the sheriff's office.
- 2 Records show the booking number, arrest date and time, crime class, arresting agency and housing location.
- 3 The housing location field tells you which of the two buildings someone is in.
- 4 The sheriff's office also points families to Integrated Victim Services, the state custody status system.
Money
- 1 Tiger Correctional Services lists the Bowie County Detention Center in Texarkana as facility 242.
- 2 That listing carries both web deposits and commissary ordering.
- 3 Tiger is the only money vendor confirmed from a source other than a directory site.
- 4 The county publishes no deposit limits, fees or processing times of its own.
What Is Not Published
- 1 Bowie County publishes a visitation request form, but no visiting schedule, hours or dress code.
- 2 It publishes no mail rules, no photo rules and no inmate mailing address format.
- 3 It names no phone provider. Directory sites do, and none of them cite the county.
- 4 Where this guide could not confirm something, it says so instead of repeating a guess.
Contact and Buildings
- 1 Bowie County Sheriff's Office, 100 North Stateline Ave, Texarkana. Phone (903) 798-3149.
- 2 The federal service agreement for the jail lists a facility contact of (903) 798-3150.
- 3 Sheriff Jeff Neal holds the office. Directory sites still name James Prince, who left in January 2021.
- 4 The jail has no website of its own, so the phone number does most of the work here.

Confirmed for Bowie County: one Inmate Visitation Request Form covers both jail buildings, every visitor has to be on the inmate's approved list, and anyone under 18 needs an approved parent or legal guardian with them. What the county publishes nowhere is the schedule, so directory-site hours cite nothing official.

Confirmed from Tiger Correctional Services: the Bowie County Detention Center in Texarkana appears in the vendor's own portal as facility 242, with web deposits and commissary ordering both enabled. Nothing about fees, limits or timing is published by the county.

No mailing address format, no photo rules and no list of what gets rejected. Two county addresses sit a few blocks apart downtown, which is the practical risk when nothing official tells you which one to write on the envelope.
See the full breakdown Partly confirmed
The sheriff's office number, (903) 798-3149, is confirmed. The phone provider is not. Directory sites agree on a vendor name and a deposit line, none of them cite the county, and the vendor's own facility list came back empty, so this guide does not repeat it as fact.

Q
Is the Bowie County Jail the same as the Bi-State Jail?
They are two buildings under one county jail license. The Bi-State Justice Center at 100 North State Line held 79 people on September 1, 2026, and the Detention Center on West Front Street held 433. Both are run by the Bowie County Sheriff's Office, and one roster covers both.
Facility
Q
Does LaSalle Corrections still run the Bowie County Jail?
No. LaSalle Corrections ran it from 2010 until February 12, 2021. Bowie County has operated the jail directly since then. Pages that describe this as a privately run contract facility are five years out of date.
Facility
Q
How do I find someone who was booked into the Bowie County Jail?
Bowie County publishes a live roster at bccc.llhostings.com, linked from the sheriff's office. It covers both buildings and shows the booking number, arrest date and time, crime class, arresting agency and housing location.

Q
How many people does the Bowie County Jail hold?

Facility
Q
Who is the sheriff of Bowie County?
Jeff Neal. James Prince, who still appears on many directory listings, left office on January 1, 2021. If a page names Prince as the current sheriff, treat everything else on it as equally old.
