Archer County Jail Overview
Archer County Sheriff's Office
The Archer County Sheriff's Office operates the county jail at 100 Law Enforcement Way in Archer City. As a smaller rural facility, the jail handles a lower volume of bookings compared to larger urban counties. Most people booked into the facility are from arrests made by the Sheriff's Office within the county. The booking process follows the same steps required by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards for all county jails statewide.
Because of the facility's smaller size, online roster access may be limited compared to larger county jails. Calling the jail directly is often the most reliable way to check custody status. Staff can confirm whether someone is in custody and provide basic booking information. The Sheriff's Office is also the place to direct public records requests under the Texas Public Information Act.
