Texarkana Jail Mugshots Overview
Texarkana Police and Jail Mugshots
The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department is the first agency to log an arrest in the city. Chief Ed Chattaway runs the office at 100 North Stateline Avenue, Texarkana, AR 71854. The main phone is 903-798-3130. Officers take the first set of prints and the initial mugshot at the city booking room, then move the person to the county jail for full intake.
The city site at texarkanaar.gov holds contact info for city hall and links to the police page. A view of the site is below.
The department also runs a records section. Heather Soyars handles FOIA requests at (870) 779-4995. Under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101, the city has three business days to answer a written request. The fee for a paper copy is capped at 25 cents per page. Email copies are usually free.
Texarkana splits in two across the state line. The Arkansas side books into Miller County. The Texas side books into the Bi-State Jail at 100 North State Line Avenue, Texarkana, Texas 75501, phone 903-798-3199. For Arkansas charges, the mugshot is held by Miller County.
Miller County Detention Center Booking Photos
The Miller County Detention Center is the jail that holds Texarkana arrestees. It sits at 2300 East Street, Texarkana, AR 71854-8023. The booking desk phone is 870-774-3001. Staff book, print, and photograph each person who comes in on an Arkansas charge. Every Texarkana jail mugshot on the Arkansas side is logged here.
The sheriff's main web page at millercountyso.us is where the detention link lives. The site is shown below. From the home page you can reach the jail info page and the online roster.
Under Article 7 of the Arkansas Constitution of 1874, the county sheriff is the chief law officer and the custodian of the county jail. That rule is why every Texarkana booking photo from the Arkansas side lives in the Miller County file and not a city vault. The sheriff is the one who signs off on any public release.
Note: Arrests from the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department, the county deputies, and state troopers working Miller County all land at 2300 East Street for booking and mugshot intake.
How to Search Texarkana Jail Mugshots Online
The fast way to pull a Texarkana jail mugshot is the Miller County online roster. Name and booking number are the main search fields. Results show the photo, the date of the arrest, the list of charges, and the bond type when set.
Run the name search from the jail info hub at millercountyso.us/jail-info. The page links out to the current roster. Try a few tips to get a clean hit:
- Start with just the last name
- Add a first initial if the list runs long
- Check known alias spellings
- Clear filters before each new query
The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association has a directory page at arkansassheriffsassociation.com/arkansas/county-jail/miller-county-jail that also points to the current Texarkana jail mugshots tool. It works as a backup when the main site is slow.
FOIA Requests for Texarkana Jail Mugshots
When a booking photo is not posted online, file a FOIA request. The request goes to the Miller County Sheriff at 2300 East Street, Texarkana, AR 71854. For city-only incident reports, send the request to the Texarkana Arkansas Police records section at (870) 779-4995.
The Arkansas FOIA, under Arkansas Code Annotated § 25-19-101, gives the custodian three business days to respond. Most Texarkana jail mugshots are public records. The law does carve out some exemptions. Open cases, juvenile records, and records that could put a victim at risk can be withheld. Copy fees are capped at 25 cents per page. Digital files by email are often free.
A clean FOIA request to the sheriff or the city needs the full legal name of the person, a date range for the booking, and the specific file you want (mugshot, arrest report, booking log). If the office denies the request, you have 30 days to appeal to the Arkansas Attorney General. The AG's FOIA hotline is (501) 682-2007.
Court Records Tied to Texarkana Arrests
Every Texarkana booking on the Arkansas side feeds a court case. Use Arkansas CourtConnect to track the case by name or case number. The page shows the charges, the bond, and the next hearing.
Miller County handles its court work in the 8th-South Judicial Circuit. The Circuit Clerk files felony cases. The Miller County District Court in Texarkana takes misdemeanors and traffic tickets. Both courts push data to CourtConnect every night. The Arkansas Administrative Office of the Courts at 625 Marshall Street, Little Rock, runs the site. The AOC help desk is (501) 410-1900.
A court file is often the best second source when a booking photo is already pulled from the roster. The docket can list the arrest date, the arresting agency, and the booking number. Pair that info with a FOIA note to the sheriff to get the mugshot.
