Find Inmates in Montgomery County

This page helps users handle a jail roster search in Montgomery County, Texas and understand the related jail resources that may affect an inmate lookup, visit, bond question, or release check.

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office provides the Inmate Lookup System for roster searches and jail information through its Jail Division.

Montgomery County Inmate Lookup System

The main online resource for the Montgomery County jail roster is the Montgomery County Inmate Lookup System. The system is tied to the County Corrections Public Access Portal and may require an email address and password to sign in. New users can create an account from the portal.

The jail roster search is used to check whether a person is housed in the MCSO Jail Facility and to view booking photos.

• Name of the person you want to search
• Portal sign-in information, if prompted

After checking the roster, review the details carefully. If the person no longer appears on the roster, the Sheriff's Office FAQ states that the person has been released from Montgomery County Jail custody.

Montgomery County Jail Division

The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Jail Division handles jail operations for misdemeanor and felony inmates. Some inmates are awaiting trial, some are serving sentences, and some felony inmates may be awaiting transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

The Jail Command is part of the Justice Bureau. The Montgomery County Jail is headed by Captain Jeremiah Richards and staffed by sworn and civilian personnel who provide jail supervision every day of the year.

Visitation rules and scheduling

Jail visits must be scheduled online 24 hours in advance through the visitation system. Visits are by appointment only, and walk-ins are not allowed.

Each inmate is given one opportunity for visitation during the visitation period. Each visit is limited to two visitors. Detainees on quarantine status cannot visit until cleared for general population.

Normal visitation hours are listed below.

Visitors must have a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver license, state ID card, or passport. Visitors must pass through a metal detector before entry. Review the Montgomery County Jail visitation information before scheduling.

Important: Cameras, cellphones, handbags, and baby carriers are not allowed in the visitation areas.

Bond, release, and court-date questions

Bonds are processed in the order received, 24 hours a day. The jail does not give a specific release time because processing depends on several factors.

Release processing can take several hours. When inmates go to court, jail staff may not receive court paperwork until after 5:00 pm, and in some cases paperwork may arrive the next day. All charges and holds must be disposed of before release, and inmates are checked for new warrants before release.

The jail does not assign or track court dates. For felony offenses, users are directed to the Montgomery County District Clerk’s Office. For misdemeanor offenses, users are directed to the Montgomery County Clerk’s Office.

Inmate mail and money

Effective May 26, 2026, non-legal inmate mail for the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Detention Division must be sent to the off-site mail management facility instead of directly to the jail. Mail must include the inmate’s full name and ID number.

Non-legal inmate mail should be addressed to: Montgomery County, TX, Inmate Name, Inmate ID #, PO BOX 16120, Jonesboro, AR 72401. Legal mail is mailed directly to Montgomery County Jail with the inmate’s name, ID number, and cell location in Conroe, TX 77301.

Money may be deposited for an inmate through the lobby kiosk at #1 Criminal Justice Drive in Conroe, by phone at 1-866-345-1884, or through Access Corrections. Lobby kiosk cash deposits must use $5 bills or higher, and deposit limits and service fees apply.

Property, phone calls, and commissary

Inmate property can be picked up between 8:00 am and 9:00 pm any day of the week. The person picking up property must present a valid ID, driver license, or other state or federal government agency identification. The inmate must request the property release, and the person receiving it must remain in the lobby.

Phone services at Montgomery County Jail are provided by ICSolutions. Family and friends may use a prepaid phone account or a debit phone account. Customer Care is available at 1-888-506-8407.

Commissary services are handled through Keefe Group, and Securepak orders allow family and friends to send approved commissary items. Securepak orders have a $100 per week spending limit and may take up to two weeks to reach the facility.

Inmates housed in Waller County

Some Montgomery County inmates may be housed in Waller County because of overcrowding. Those inmates still appear on the Montgomery County Jail roster, with the housing location listed as Waller Co Jail.

Visitation, mail, and commissary procedures for inmates housed in Waller County should be checked with the Waller County Sheriff’s Office. Montgomery County remains the contact for charges, sentencing, legal status updates, property release processing, and final release from custody.
