TAPD Detention Services Overview
The official Texarkana Arkansas Police Department city-jail page says people arrested by Texarkana Arkansas Police Department are located at Miller County Detention Center, 2300 East Street, Texarkana, Arkansas. That is the key rule for most local users. An Arkansas-side police arrest does not mean the person is searchable through a separate public TAPD jail roster. For ordinary municipal arrests, use VINE, the Miller County Sheriff site, or the detention center phone path.
A second source creates a narrower federal detention-services issue. A U.S. Marshals Service intergovernmental agreement lists Texarkana Arkansas Police Department as a detention-services provider with adult male and female beds and federal agency users including the U.S. Marshals Service, Bureau of Prisons, and ICE-related uses. Current TAPD public pages did not publish a detailed active operations page, public roster, social visitation schedule, commissary vendor, or mail rules for that detention-services function.
TAPD Arrestee Lookup Path
For a local TAPD arrest, search as a Miller County Detention Center custody matter. TAPD's city-jail page points to VINELink, the Miller County Sheriff website, and Mobile Patrol App. The research did not confirm a sheriff-branded Miller County app, and the Texarkana Police Department App Store listing did not confirm an inmate-roster feature. Treat mobile tools as aids only when the official source says they apply. The official phone and custody route still points back to Miller County jail for Arkansas-side arrestees.
The TAPD city-jail screenshot from the official police site is source-matched for this page because it states the routing rule that prevents the most common mistake.
Use the local route when the arrest was by TAPD for an Arkansas municipal or county matter. Use federal routes only when the person is in U.S. Marshals, BOP, or immigration custody.
- Check whether the person was arrested by Texarkana Arkansas Police for a local Arkansas matter.
- Search Arkansas custody through VINELink or the Miller County Sheriff jail information path.
- Call Miller County Detention Center or sheriff records if custody, charges, bond, or release records need verification.
- If the person is a federal detainee, use U.S. Marshals, BOP, or ICE channels instead of the county roster alone.
| Situation | Correct lookup | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary TAPD arrest | Miller County Detention Center / VINE | TAPD says arrestees are located at the county detention center |
| Sentenced federal prisoner | BOP Inmate Locator | BOP locator covers federal prisoners from 1982 to present |
| Federal pretrial detainee | U.S. Marshals Western District of Arkansas | USMS handles many federal pretrial detainees |
| Immigration detainee | ICE Online Detainee Locator System | ICE ODLS is separate from county and police rosters |
TAPD Detention Contact
TAPD public contact information belongs to the police agency, while ordinary custody questions belong to Miller County Detention Center after arrest. The TAPD chief page lists the police address at 100 N. State Line Avenue and phone number 903-798-3130. The city-jail page also references Bi-State Jail at 100 N. State Line Avenue in Texarkana, Texas, operated by the Bowie County Sheriff's Office, but that is Texas-side context and should not be treated as the Miller County, Arkansas jail.

TAPD Federal Custody Questions
The USMS agreement is the only source in the research that gives a bed count for the TAPD detention-services entry. It lists 35 male beds, 7 female beds, and 42 total beds, with federal users including U.S. Marshals, BOP, and ICE-related uses. That does not create a public TAPD roster. It means a person tied to federal custody may need to be traced through federal systems and the committing agency rather than through a municipal police page.
BOP locator records are for sentenced federal prisoners and some federal statuses from 1982 to present. A federal pretrial detainee may remain in U.S. Marshals custody and may not appear in the BOP locator until sentencing or designation. ICE detainees use ODLS, which searches by A-number and country of birth or by biographical information. Federal mugshots are not published through the BOP locator, and federal detention records should not be treated like county booking photos.
| Federal channel | Fields or use | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| BOP Locator | Register number or name, age, race, sex | No public mugshot gallery |
| USMS | Federal pretrial and transport custody | May not appear in BOP before designation |
| ICE ODLS | A-number/country or biographical search | Not a county jail roster |
| County jail phone | Local custody confirmation | Transport timing may not be disclosed |
TAPD Detention Visits
The current TAPD public pages inspected did not publish a social visitation schedule, mail rules, commissary vendor, phone provider, or public intake desk for a standalone Arkansas-side city jail. For local TAPD arrests, visit and communication rules follow Miller County Detention Center after the person is placed there. That means Smart Communications video visitation, county mail rules, and county commissary rules may apply only after county custody is confirmed.
For federal detainees, visitation, attorney access, phone, and mail rules may be set by the holding facility and the responsible federal agency. Never assume the county jail's video visit process applies to a federal detainee housed under a different operational agreement. Confirm through the committing agency, the actual holding location, or the facility contact before travel.
| Custody type | Visit route | Published TAPD schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Local TAPD arrestee | Miller County Detention Center after booking | No separate TAPD schedule found |
| Federal pretrial | USMS or actual holding facility | No public TAPD grid found |
| BOP sentenced | BOP facility rules after designation | Not handled by TAPD page |
| ICE detainee | ICE ODLS and holding facility | Not handled by TAPD page |
TAPD Mail Phone Money
No TAPD-specific public commissary, phone, or mail table was located for the detention-services facility. For an ordinary TAPD arrestee held at Miller County Detention Center, use the county jail's postcard mail, Correct Solutions phone, Smart Communications video visit, CorrectPay messaging, and CSGpay or money-order deposit rules after confirming custody. For federal custody, account funding and phone rules depend on the actual federal or contract holding arrangement.
The practical rule is to identify the custody authority before sending anything. Local custody goes to Miller County Detention Center. State-sentenced custody goes to Arkansas DOC. Federal sentenced custody goes to BOP. Immigration custody goes to ICE. Federal pretrial custody usually involves U.S. Marshals. Using the wrong vendor, jail address, or name format can delay or reject money, mail, or visit requests.
| Service | Local TAPD arrestee | Federal detainee |
|---|---|---|
| Use Miller County jail format after custody is confirmed | Use actual holding facility and agency rule | |
| Phone | County jail Correct Solutions path if held there | Facility or federal contractor rule |
| Money | County money order or CSGpay route if held there | Depends on USMS, BOP, ICE, or contract site |
| Photos | County vendor messaging may allow photos | Do not assume allowed |
TAPD Mobile App Limits
The research located a Texarkana Police Department App Store listing by AppInst Ltd. The listing says the app provides citizens of Texarkana, Arkansas the ability to search and receive information to prevent crime. It did not confirm an inmate roster, warrants, most-wanted list, or records-request feature. TAPD's city-jail page separately mentions Mobile Patrol App as a way to find information, but that should not be restated as a confirmed Miller County Sheriff app.
The Texarkana Police Department app listing is useful for police information context, not as a substitute for custody confirmation.
When custody is the question, VINE, Miller County Detention Center, Arkansas DOC, BOP, ICE, or USMS are more authoritative than an app listing that does not document an inmate-search feature.
TAPD Border City Context
Texarkana's split Arkansas and Texas setting creates confusion. The research notes that the city straddles state systems, police agencies, courts, and jail routes. TAPD's page mentions Bi-State Jail in Texas, but the Miller County facility for Arkansas local arrestees is Miller County Detention Center. Nearby FCI Texarkana is also in Bowie County, Texas, not Miller County, Arkansas, though the BOP locator can matter after federal sentencing.
This page should therefore be read by custody type, not by building name alone. Local Arkansas arrest means county jail. Sentenced Arkansas custody means DOC. Federal sentenced custody means BOP. Immigration custody means ICE. Federal pretrial custody means U.S. Marshals or the actual contract facility. The safest next action is to verify the current holding authority before making any visit, mail, or money decision.
Note: Ordinary TAPD arrestees route to Miller County Detention Center; federal detention questions route to USMS, BOP, or ICE.
