Official Lamar County Contacts
For current local custody questions, start with the Lamar County Sheriff's Office or jail administration. The county materials list Sheriff Scott Cass at the sheriff's main office and list Lamar County Jail Administration at the same Brown Avenue public-safety complex. Published lobby or records-counter hours were not located in the research file, so call before visiting in person.

Use the record path that matches the type of information needed. Lamar County jail and court searches may begin at the Lamar County Odyssey Public Access portal. The sheriff's office is the local contact point for jail-held records. The Paris Police Records Division handles Paris Police records, and its official instructions say requests must be made in writing, not by telephone.
- For someone in the county jail, use jail inmate records and call 903-737-2400 when the online record is not enough.
- For booking photos, use jail roster mugshots and be aware that Lamar County's public portal did not verify a mugshot field during research.
- For charges filed after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest and the Odyssey criminal records module.
- For the local detention facility, use the Lamar County Jail page and confirm details with jail administration.
- For a sentenced Texas prisoner, search the TDCJ Inmate Search.
- For a federal prisoner or immigration detainee, use the BOP Inmate Locator or ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
Some Lamar County jail bookings begin with a Paris Police arrest. For Paris Police records, the city states that open-records requests must be written, telephone requests are not accepted, and basic public copies are 10 cents per page. If a request requires an opinion from the Texas Attorney General, the Paris Police Records Division states that the opinion path may take up to 10 business days.
Those copy and review details apply to Paris Police records only. They should not be treated as Lamar County Sheriff's Office fees unless the sheriff's office confirms the same terms. Texas public-information requests are governed by Texas Government Code Chapter 552.
For custody alerts rather than official records, Texas users may also check VINELink Texas or the Texas Integrated Victim Services System. Notification services can help track changes, but they do not replace a direct custody confirmation from the office that holds the record.
