This is a private reference site, not a Knox County office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, release a person, post bond, schedule a visit, or retrieve an official booking record. Use the government contacts below for those requests.
Where to Ask About a Person or Record
For current Knox County jail custody, start with the direct jail line. The county sheriff page lists the following official contacts:
- Knox County Jail: 104 S. Stewart Street, Benjamin, TX 79505; jail phone (940) 459-2041.
- Knox County Sheriff's Office: 111 E Hayes Street, Benjamin, TX 79505; mailing address PO Box 257, Benjamin, TX 79505-0257.
- Sheriff's office phone (940) 459-2211; fax (940) 459-2016.
- The county sheriff page lists Christopher Mendoza as sheriff. Confirm live officeholder details on the official county page before relying on a name.
- County and District Clerk Jeannie Clark: (940) 459-2441, for court and clerk-record questions handled by that office.
- Knox County Justice of the Peace information is published by the county for JP matters; district-court matters may route through the 50th Judicial District contacts listed by the county and Texas court directory.
No jail lobby hours, records-unit hours, or online sheriff records form were located in the research. Call before visiting, and use Texas Public Information Act requests under Texas Government Code Chapter 552 when asking for releasable sheriff records.
- For someone in local jail custody, use jail inmate records and call Knox County Jail because no official online Knox roster was found.
- For booking photos, start with jail roster mugshots; Knox County does not publish an official mugshot gallery in the researched sources.
- For charges and court filings after arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the appropriate clerk or court contact.
- For facility-specific details, see the Knox County Jail page.
- For a sentenced Texas prisoner, use the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate locator, not the county jail phone.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
