Hemphill County Jail Overview
Hemphill County Jail is the only official detention facility mapped for Hemphill County in the research. It is operated by the Hemphill County Sheriff's Office and tied directly to Sheriff Brent Clapp's official county page. The facility holds local jail inmates rather than sentenced Texas state prisoners. It serves the local criminal-justice path: arrest, booking, roster listing, magistrate and bond processing, visitation, phone or commissary services, release, transfer, or later court case processing.
The public Kologik roster showed current inmates arrested by the Hemphill County Sheriff's Office and at least one sampled current inmate arrested by Roberts County Sheriff's Office. That is an observed roster fact, not a confirmed contract. The roster does not publish public housing units, pod assignments, or cell blocks in the inspected entries. Sample JSON included a cell-number field, but it was blank.
Hemphill County Jail Capacity
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards reports Hemphill County Jail capacity in statewide population workbooks. The June 1, 2026 current population workbook listed the jail at 18 beds with total jail population of 5, or 27.78 percent of capacity. The incarceration-rate workbook for the same date listed Hemphill County ADP as 3 and countywide population as 3,134.
No official building history, opening year, pod layout, construction plan, consent decree, or recent litigation notice was located in the county material searched. The reliable local facts are the sheriff operation, the published address and phone sources, the Kologik roster, the visitation PDF, the City Tele Coin link, and TCJS population data.
Look Up Hemphill County Jail Inmates
Use the Kologik public roster for current Hemphill County Jail custody. It is the official local roster located for the Hemphill County Sheriff's Office. The roster displays cards rather than separate profile pages and can show a booking photo, arrest date, days jailed, demographics, arresting agency, public address, charges, warrant number, and bond.
- Open the sheriff-linked Kologik roster for ORI TX1060000.
- Select RECENT BOOKINGS for a new arrest or ALL for the current full public roster.
- Use Name Filter or A through Z buttons to narrow by name.
- Review each charge row because bond is listed per charge.
- If no record appears, call the jail, use a public-information request, or check TDCJ, BOP, ICE, and VINELink based on the custody clue.
The Kologik roster image in the manifest fits this facility because the roster is the facility's lookup channel for current public custody.
Hemphill County Jail Address and Contact
The official sheriff page and the approved bail-bond PDF agree on the jail and sheriff's office address but list two source-specific phone numbers. Preserve that distinction when calling. The sheriff page lists office phone 806-323-5326. The bail-bond PDF lists phone 806-323-5324 and identifies Jerri-Lynn Ortega as Chief Deputy, Kimberlee Spencer as Administrative Assistant, Kris Hogan as Chief Dispatcher, and Shannon Woodrum as Jail Administrator.
Hemphill County Jail / Sheriff's Office

Canadian, TX 79014
806-323-5326 sheriff page

The courthouse is listed at 400 Main Street in Canadian. That location matters for clerk and court records, but jail custody, visitation, roster, bond, and phone or commissary questions begin with the sheriff and jail address.
Visit Hemphill County Jail
Hemphill County publishes a dedicated jail visitation hours and rules PDF. Public visitation is limited to the two windows in that document. Visitors age 17 or older must have valid state or federal photo ID or a driver's license with photograph. Visitors age 16 or younger must be accompanied by an adult age 17 or older. Children may not be left unattended.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday | 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. | Public visitation |
| Sunday | 12:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. | Public visitation |
Visitor conduct is also specific. The PDF bans photographing inmates or the visitation area, offensive language, yelling at offenders, unattended children, and switching from one inmate visit to another. Inappropriate conduct can terminate the visit and may cause denial of future visits. Conservative dress is encouraged, but the jailer makes the final clothing decision.
Mail Phone and Money at Hemphill Jail
The sheriff page links City Tele Coin as the inmate commissary and phone information vendor. The county page does not publish a Hemphill-specific phone rate, deposit limit, online fee table, kiosk location, tablet program, or commissary ordering schedule. The safe path is to confirm a person's current custody first, then check the vendor and jail before sending funds.
| Service | Documented Source | Research Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Phone / commissary | City Tele Coin linked by sheriff page | No Hemphill-specific fee table found. |
| Facility address available | No official inmate mail format or prohibited-mail list found. | |
| Money | Vendor link suggests deposit support | No deposit limit or kiosk instruction found. |
The researched wording for mail is conservative: use the facility address and call before mailing books, photos, cards, or money orders. Include the inmate's full name and confirm whether a booking number, CCN, or other identifier is required.
Booking at Hemphill County Jail
Hemphill County does not publish a step-by-step booking procedure, so intake is best described from roster fields and Texas procedure. A local custody path starts with arrest by Hemphill County Sheriff's Office, Canadian-area law enforcement, or another agency whose detainee is accepted into the jail. Intake normally includes identity confirmation, search, property inventory, booking photo, fingerprints, medical or mental-health screening, charge entry, and classification.
Kologik sample records show booking and arrest timestamps, and in inspected samples those values matched. The public card labels the key timestamp as Arrested. The roster does not publish a refresh schedule, so new bookings appear after the jail or Kologik system publishes the record. Do not assume a person will appear immediately after arrest.
Bond at Hemphill County Jail
The sheriff page links the official 2025 approved bail-bond companies PDF. That document is useful because the county did not publish a full bail manual or online bond payment instructions. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 governs bail and bond in Texas, while the local PDF gives the approved companies list for practical surety-bond routing.
| Company | Phone |
|---|---|
| Bob's Bail Bonds | 806-826-0654 |
| Central Bail Bonds II | 806-323-6262 |
| Freedom Express Bail Bonds | 806-435-7039 |
| J&L Bail Bonds | 806-435-6758 office; 806-662-1798 cell |
| A&B Bail Bonds | 806-930-3433 office; 806-930-7378 cell |
| Junior's Local Bail Bonds | 806-367-7951 |
| Bargain Bail Bonds | 806-379-2003 |
Read each charge's bond amount on the roster. A warrant number or hold can affect whether payment leads to release. The county did not publish accepted payment methods or cashier hours, so call before traveling.
Records Requests for Hemphill Jail
For a current inmate, start with Kologik. For an older booking record, a booking photo not shown online, or a jail record that is not on the public roster, use a public-information request directed to Hemphill County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff page links the Texas Attorney General public-information request form, but the OAG form is a template. The request must go to the governmental body that maintains the record.
Be specific. Include name, year of birth or date of birth if known, booking date, arresting agency, charge, warrant number, and the type of record requested. For court-file documents after booking, route to the district or county clerk rather than the jail. For prosecution questions, route felony context to the district attorney and county-level matters to the county attorney.
State Federal and ICE Fallbacks
Hemphill County Jail is not a TDCJ prison unit, BOP prison, or ICE detention center. If a person is sentenced to a Texas prison, search TDCJ. If a person is in federal sentenced custody, search BOP. If a person is in immigration detention, search ICE ODLS. For release notifications, use VINELink Texas when available.
Note: Confirm custody, visit rules, and payment details with the jail before traveling or sending money.
