Dallam-Hartley County Jail Overview
Dallam-Hartley County Jail is the only verified county detention facility in the Dallam County facility map. It is operated through the Dallam County Sheriff's Office and Jail-Dispatch structure. The official jail page identifies the facility by name, names Diane Guffy as Jail/Dispatch Administrator, and publishes the jail phone and email. The sheriff page names Sheriff Shane Stevenson and gives the sheriff office address, sheriff phone, jail phone, and sheriff email. Together, those official pages make the jail and sheriff the direct local sources for current custody questions.
The facility is a county jail, not a TDCJ prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center. The TCJS reporting row for Dallam shows local pretrial categories, state-jail-felony categories, contract inmates, housed-elsewhere inmates, and TDCJ-sentenced or contract categories. That mix confirms that the jail is used for the local booking and county custody stage, including people awaiting court action, serving local jail time, waiting on transfer, or held for another agency when reported.
The official Dallam-Hartley County Jail page is a compact county page, not a modern inmate portal. The Dallam County Sheriff page supplies the broader sheriff contact route. No official Dallam-Hartley online jail roster, mugshot gallery, current-inmate search, booking report, warrant search, app, visitation schedule, or commissary schedule was located.
Dallam-Hartley Jail Population
The Texas Commission on Jail Standards is the source for the facility population and capacity figures used here. TCJS reports data submitted by county jails and states that submitting departments are responsible for quality and accuracy. The current Dallam row dated 2026-06-01 reported a rated capacity of 51 beds and a total jail population of 17. The incarceration-rate workbook for the same date reported ADP of 15, an incarceration rate of 1.99, and a countywide population base of 7,526.
The 2026-06-01 report placed Dallam at about one-third of rated capacity. It also listed nonzero categories for local male and female pretrial felons, pretrial state-jail felons, local convicted state-jail-felony time, contract inmates, and one housed-elsewhere inmate. Small counties can show visible rate changes from just a few people, so the TCJS numbers should be read as official reporting snapshots, not a live inmate roster.
Dallam-Hartley Inmate Lookup
There is no official online roster located for Dallam-Hartley County Jail. The correct lookup chain starts with the jail phone for current county custody, then moves to written sheriff or jail records requests, court records, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, or VINELink depending on the person's status. The full local custody workflow is covered in the Dallam County jail inmate records page, but the facility-specific point is simple: the jail is the first call when the person may be in local Dallam-Hartley custody.
- Call Dallam-Hartley County Jail at (806) 244-2541 for current custody, recent booking, release, transport, and bond-status questions.
- Email jail-dispatch@dallam.org only for non-emergency written follow-up or when staff directs a records request there.
- Use sheriff@dallam.org or (806) 244-2313 for broader sheriff agency records or routing questions.
- Check the County and District Clerk, re:SearchTX, or the court after charges have been filed. Booking charges and filed court charges can differ.
- Use the TDCJ locator only after a person is sentenced and moved to state custody.
- Use the BOP locator for federal prison and ICE ODLS for immigration detention.
VINELink Texas can be useful for custody notifications where participating records are available. It should be treated as an alert channel, not as a substitute for the jail when immediate local custody or release status matters.
Dallam-Hartley Jail Contact
The official county jail page publishes a mailing line for Dalhart and the direct jail phone and email. The sheriff page publishes the verified sheriff-office street address. Because the jail page inspected did not publish a separate visitor entrance address or detailed lobby hours, visitors, bond posters, family members, and attorneys should call before driving to confirm the correct entry point and whether the matter can be handled in person.

The county site also lists Gabriela Bloomer as Chief Dispatcher and Joseph Powers as Transport Officer on the jail page. Those staff listings help confirm that the jail-dispatch page is the detention-specific contact point, even though it does not publish an online roster or detailed public service schedule.
The official jail page is available at dallam.org/county/jail.shtml. Its public page is the source for the jail phone, jail email, administrator, and staff listing.
The screenshot shows the kind of official source available for the facility: a contact page rather than an inmate-search portal. That is why phone and written request channels are central for Dallam-Hartley County Jail lookup work.
Dallam-Hartley Jail Visits
No official Dallam-Hartley County Jail visitation calendar was located. The research did not find public pages for in-person visitation hours, video visitation, visitor approval, dress code, minor-child rules, attorney visit procedures, holiday changes, or emergency lock-down changes. Do not assume another county's vendor, video system, or visiting schedule applies to Dallam-Hartley County Jail.
| Visitation Topic | Official Finding | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| In-person schedule | Not published in official pages inspected. | Call the jail before travel. |
| Video visitation | No video-visit vendor or schedule located. | Ask whether visits are in person, video, or suspended. |
| Visitor ID | Not published. | Bring government photo ID if staff confirms a visit. |
| Dress code | Not published. | Ask for current jail rules before arriving. |
| Children or minors | Not published. | Confirm approval and adult supervision rules by phone. |
| Attorney visits | Not published. | Attorneys should call the jail to arrange access. |
Before visiting, ask staff to confirm the person's current eligibility, visiting day and time, required ID, entry point, parking, property rules, and whether a court date, transfer, discipline status, medical hold, or transport assignment could block the visit.
Dallam-Hartley Mail and Money
The official Dallam pages inspected did not publish inmate mail format, booking-number requirements, prohibited mail items, legal mail handling, digital mail scanning, phone vendor, video vendor, commissary vendor, online deposit portal, kiosk location, walk-in deposit network, deposit fees, or commissary order limits. Those gaps should not be filled with vendor guesses. Call the jail before mailing funds, ordering commissary, or sending books, photos, documents, or property.
| Service | Published Detail | Before Acting |
|---|---|---|
| Mail address format | Not published. Jail page gives a Dalhart mailing line but no full inmate mail format. | Ask for exact format, inmate name requirements, and booking number rules. |
| Phone calls | No phone vendor located. | Ask whether the jail uses collect calls, prepaid accounts, or another system. |
| Video or tablets | No vendor located. | Do not create an account until the jail confirms the vendor. |
| Money deposits | No online deposit vendor, fee list, or kiosk rule located. | Ask what forms of payment are accepted and when funds post. |
| Commissary | No commissary vendor or order limit published. | Ask whether the inmate is eligible and what items are allowed. |
| Legal mail | Policy not published. | Attorneys should confirm labeling, delivery, and inspection rules. |
TDCJ has separate prison visitation, mail, and money rules for sentenced state prisoners. Those TDCJ rules do not control Dallam-Hartley County Jail unless a person has been transferred into state custody. The nearby Dalhart Unit is a TDCJ prison in Hartley County, so it is relevant as a state-prison fallback but not as a local Dallam County facility page.
Dallam-Hartley Jail Intake
The official county site does not publish a step-by-step Dallam-Hartley booking policy, so the intake description should stay tied to general Texas jail process and verified local channels. A typical local path starts with an arrest by the Dallam County Sheriff's Office, Dalhart Police Department, Texas DPS, or another authorized agency. The person is transported to the jail or other processing point, then staff confirm identity, record the arresting agency and alleged charges, inventory property, complete jail paperwork, and conduct safety screening.
Fingerprints and photographs are common booking steps in Texas jail processing, but no official Dallam public booking-photo policy was located. After booking, the record may include arrest charges, warrant or hold information, and bond status. These are not final court outcomes. Prosecutors can accept, reject, amend, reduce, or add charges, and a court case may not appear immediately in clerk or re:SearchTX records.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 requires an arrested person to be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay for warnings, rights, accusation information, counsel issues, and bail matters. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 governs bail and release rules. For felony matters in Dallam County, the 69th District Court is part of the later court path.
Dallam-Hartley Records Requests
Texas Government Code Chapter 552, the Texas Public Information Act, governs public-information requests to Texas governmental bodies. Dallam County did not publish a dedicated sheriff open-records portal in the sources reviewed, but a written request can still be made through the sheriff or jail contact channels. A clear request should name the person, date, arresting agency if known, and the record sought, such as booking sheet, custody log, bond information, release status, or booking photo.
Texas Local Government Code Chapter 351 covers county jail and sheriff jail duties, while Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates the Texas Commission on Jail Standards framework behind jail standards and population reporting. These laws do not create a Dallam-Hartley online roster. They explain why jail records and jail population reporting are official government functions with public-access rules and exceptions.
Note: Confirm custody, visit eligibility, mail format, and deposit rules with Dallam-Hartley County Jail before travel or sending funds.
