The Titus County Inmate Population
The local jail population in Titus County is reported through the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, while day-to-day custody records are handled by the Titus County Sheriff's Office. The county has one verified detention facility for local inmates: Titus County Jail, operated from the sheriff's office in Mount Pleasant. TCJS reported 173 people in the Titus County jail population on June 1, 2026, with a listed capacity of 182 beds. That source matters because it counts more than new local arrests. The Titus County inmate population includes pretrial defendants, misdemeanor sentences, parole or bench-warrant holds, people sentenced to TDCJ divisions but still housed locally, state-jail felony categories, and a small federal count when reported.
The count rises or falls as arrests, bond decisions, court settings, jail classification, sentencing, and state transfer timing change. A person arrested in Mount Pleasant or elsewhere in Titus County is normally booked through the county jail before a court case fully develops. If the person is later sentenced to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the lookup route changes from the county jail to the TDCJ Inmate Information Search. If the person is in federal custody or immigration detention, the federal and ICE tools are separate. That split is the key to reading the Titus County inmate population correctly.
Titus County Inmate Population Statistics
The current hard figures come from TCJS workbooks inspected for the June 1, 2026 reporting date.

For Titus County, the current workbook listed 182 rated beds, 173 people in custody, and 95.05 percent of capacity. The TCJS incarceration-rate workbook listed an average daily population of 153, a countywide population of 31,547 for the rate table, and an incarceration rate of 4.85 per 1,000 population.

Titus County Inmate Population Trends
The TCJS incarceration-rate workbook shows a clear rise in average daily population from early 2024 through mid-2026. Titus County moved from an ADP of 116 on January 1, 2024 to 153 on June 1, 2026. That is a 37-person increase in the workbook. The research did not locate an official local explanation for the increase, so the data should be treated as a measured trend rather than proof of a specific policy cause.
Spring 2026 also shows capacity pressure. TCJS listed the total population at 182 on March 1, 2026, which equals the listed bed capacity. The count was 179 on May 1, 2026 and 173 on June 1, 2026. That supports careful wording that the Titus County jail population was close to capacity in 2026. It does not support a claim that a court order, construction failure, or formal overcrowding crisis was found in the official sources reviewed.
| Date | ADP | Incarceration Rate | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jan. 1, 2024 | 116 | 3.70 | Countywide population shown as 31,357. |
| Jun. 1, 2024 | 119 | 3.80 | Mid-2024 level stayed near 118 to 120. |
| Dec. 1, 2024 | 121 | 3.86 | Slight rise by late 2024. |
| Sep. 1, 2025 | 129 | 4.09 | Workbook population basis changed to 31,547. |

Who Makes Up the Titus County Inmate Population
The June 1, 2026 TCJS row gives a detailed custody mix. The largest listed group was local pretrial felons, with 67 male and 10 female inmates. Another 36 people were listed as local convicted felons or parole violators sentenced to TDCJ divisions but still in local custody. That group is important because their criminal case may be over while their body remains in the Titus County inmate population waiting for state movement. The row also includes local Class C and Class A/B misdemeanor pretrial groups, convicted misdemeanants, pretrial state-jail felons, convicted state-jail felons sentenced to state-jail time, and eight male federal inmates.
| Category | Male | Female | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local pretrial Class C misdemeanants | 4 | 1 | 5 |
| Local pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants | 15 | 2 | 17 |
| Local convicted misdemeanants | 3 | 0 | 3 |
| Local pretrial felons | 67 | 10 | 77 |
| TDCJ-sentenced felons or parole violators | 35 | 1 | 36 |
| State-jail felony categories | 19 | 7 | 26 |
| Federal inmates | 8 | 0 | 8 |
Laws Governing Titus County Jail Population Data
Texas law gives the public several routes to jail and court information, but it also allows exceptions and redactions. Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Public Information Act, is the general request law for records held by Texas government bodies. Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates the Texas Commission on Jail Standards framework used for county jail standards and population reporting. Code of Criminal Procedure Article 2.139 covers death-in-custody reporting.
Key local effect: TCJS reports show the Titus County inmate population and capacity, while sheriff records handle booking-level public information. A Public Information Act request can seek booking records, but the agency may withhold protected details, juvenile information, active-investigation material, or records affected by expunction or nondisclosure orders.
How to Search the Titus County Inmate Population
The official county jail roster page is the first place to check, but it was not a working searchable roster when inspected. The page at Titus County jail roster stated that a new jail roster was coming soon. That means a failed online roster search should not be treated as proof that a person is not in custody. The county jail phone and sheriff records email are part of the search chain, not backup details to ignore.
- Check the official Titus County jail roster page for a current public roster notice or launch.
- If the roster is not active, call Titus County Jail at 903-577-7200 for immediate custody, booking, release, bond, or visit status.
- Email records@co.titus.tx.us for booking-record follow-up when a written public-information request is needed.
- Use Texas IVSS or VINELink Texas for custody notification rather than a record copy.
- Search TDCJ, BOP, or ICE only when the person has moved into that separate custody system.
No official Titus County sheriff mobile app with an inmate roster or warrant lookup was located in the reviewed sources. Use the jail phone, sheriff records email, IVSS/VINELink, and state or federal locators instead.
Current Titus County Inmate Lookup
The legacy NET Data roster XML is useful as a field example, but it should be handled carefully because the official roster page currently points to a coming-soon notice. The XML identifies the client as TITUS COUNTY SHERIFF OFC. and shows row-level fields that can help a reader understand local roster shorthand. It does not provide a polished public search form. It also does not show mugshots, bond amounts, full charge statutes, physical descriptors, court dates, or release status in the list view inspected.
The NET Data Titus County roster XML screenshot shows the format of the vendor-style roster evidence.
The XML format confirms that a public row may show an arrest number, booking date, dorm code, and short charge label, but it is not the same as a full jail profile.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official roster fields | None visible | Not applicable | The official page displayed only a coming-soon notice. |
| L01-INMATE-NAME | XML field | Automatic | Name appears as LAST,FIRST MIDDLE. |
| L01-ARREST-NO | XML field | Automatic | Local arrest number for the booking row. |
| L01-BOOK-DATE | XML field | Automatic | Booking date in MM/DD/YYYY format. |
| L01-DORM | XML field | Automatic | Housing or dorm code, not publicly decoded by the county. |
| L01-CHARGE | XML field | Automatic | Short charge text such as warrant, parole, possession, assault, or burglary abbreviations. |
What a Titus County Inmate Record Shows
A Titus County jail record can mean different things depending on the source. The county roster page currently does not show a public profile. The inspected NET Data feed shows a list entry. A written sheriff records request may produce a booking sheet or other responsive record if it can be released under Texas law. Because of that split, the safest way to read a Titus County inmate record is by source and date, not by assuming every jail database has the same fields.
| Field | What It Shows in the Inspected Feed |
|---|---|
| Name | Listed as LAST,FIRST MIDDLE. |
| Arrest number | A local numeric booking or arrest identifier. |
| Booking date | The date shown for jail intake. |
| Housing unit | A dorm or location code such as B, H, W1, SEP, ISO, HOSP, or BW. |
| Charge | A short label, often abbreviated, not a full statute-coded charge. |
| Mugshot, bond, court date | Not shown in the inspected XML list view. |
Titus County Jail vs State Prison
The county jail and TDCJ are different systems. Titus County Jail handles local pretrial custody, local sentences, warrants, holds, and some people waiting for transfer. TDCJ handles sentenced state prisoners after transfer or while in state custody. The TDCJ locator is free, but it is updated only on working days and states that its information is at least 24 hours old. It is not a booking roster for a new Titus County arrest.
| Question | Titus County Jail | Texas Department of Criminal Justice |
|---|---|---|
| Who is held | Pretrial, local sentence, warrants, holds, paper-ready inmates | Sentenced state prisoners in TDCJ custody |
| Operator | Titus County Sheriff's Office | Texas Department of Criminal Justice |
| Lookup path | County roster, jail phone, records email | TDCJ Inmate Information Search |
| Best for | Recent arrest or local custody status | State-prison location and sentence status |
State and Federal Inmate Search
Use the TDCJ inmate search for people currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility. Search can start with a last name and first initial, a TDCJ number, or a SID number, with optional gender and race filters. Use the BOP Inmate Locator for federal inmates from 1982 to present. ICE detention is checked through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. No BOP prison or ICE detention facility was verified in Titus County, but TCJS did report federal inmates housed in the county jail on June 1, 2026.
- TDCJ paper-ready
- A person sentenced to state custody but still waiting in the county jail for transfer or processing.
- Detainer
- A hold request from another agency that can keep a person in custody after a local bond issue is handled.
- State jail felony
- A Texas felony class served through the state-jail system, separate from a simple county misdemeanor term.
- VINELink notification
- A custody-status notice tool, not the same as a certified booking or court record.
Titus County Detention Facilities
Official sources reviewed verified one detention facility in Titus County for the local inmate population. No separate municipal jail, regional jail, TDCJ prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center was verified in the county. The jail and courthouse are both in central Mount Pleasant, but they are different public offices with different record roles.
- Titus County Jail - county jail operated by the Titus County Sheriff's Office for local pretrial inmates, sentenced county inmates, warrant and parole holds, TDCJ paper-ready inmates, and reported federal inmates.
