City of Irving Jail Search: City Jail or Dallas County?
The Irving City Jail is a temporary municipal detention facility in Irving, Texas. Start with the City of Irving’s official In Custody resource to determine whether the person is still being held locally.
If the person faces a Class B misdemeanor, Class A misdemeanor, felony or another Dallas County matter, the next step may be Dallas County rather than Irving Municipal Court. Identifying that custody and court split first prevents many common bond, records and visitation mistakes.
Irving Custody Route
Fast Answer
Start with the official Irving City Jail page and select the City’s In Custody resource. Irving says that online resource is updated daily Monday through Friday. It is a current city-jail custody resource, not a statewide criminal-history database.
If the person is no longer listed, do not assume the person was simply released. A person may have bonded out, been transferred to Dallas County, moved to another agency, entered immigration custody or had another custody change.

Irving City Jail Address, Phone Numbers and Facility Role
Irving City Jail
Irving Criminal Justice Center 305 N. O’Connor Road Irving, TX 75061 Jail Book-In: 972-721-2625 Detention / Jail: 972-721-3608The City describes the Irving City Jail as a 24/7 temporary confinement facility for pretrial individuals and people serving time assessed on misdemeanor Irving Municipal Court cases.
Municipal Jail, Not State Prison
The jail has a maximum capacity of 172 adults and a separate juvenile holding area. The City’s public In Custody resource is for adult inmates.
Do not use the Irving city roster as a substitute for Dallas County Jail, TDCJ state-prison records, federal BOP records or ICE detention information.
How to Use the City of Irving In Custody Report
The official City Jail page links to an In Custody resource and states that it is updated daily Monday through Friday. Because this is a city-jail custody snapshot, always check the report’s displayed date or update information before relying on it.
Open the City Jail Page
Use the current City of Irving jail page and select the official In Custody resource rather than starting with a third-party arrest directory.
Confirm the Right Person
Use the legal name and compare any available booking number, age, booking time, charge, warrant agency, bond or court information shown in the report.
Call if the Report Lags
The online resource is not described as a real-time feed. For a recent arrest or uncertain result, call 972-721-2625 or 972-721-3608.

Recommended Irving Jail Search Sequence
- Open the official City of Irving Jail page. Use the city’s In Custody resource for present city-jail custody.
- Search the adult report for the legal name. Use your browser or PDF search tool when the report opens as a document.
- Match more than the name. Compare available booking information, charge level, warrant agency and court details.
- Determine whether the case is Irving Class C or a higher-level matter. That distinction controls the next court and bond path.
- Check Dallas County after a transfer. Use the Dallas County Jail Lookup when the person has moved out of Irving City Jail.
- Verify the court separately. Irving Municipal Court handles applicable City Class C matters; Dallas County courts handle county criminal cases.
- Recheck custody before paying or visiting. Short-term municipal custody can change quickly.

Booking and Magistration in Irving
What “Booked” Means
Irving describes booking as the administrative process that documents a person’s entrance into jail. It includes collecting identifying information and the reason for arrest, inventorying personal property, photographing the person and taking fingerprints.
What Happens at Magistration?
Irving uses the term magistration for the formal meeting between a judge and a prisoner. The judge advises the prisoner of the charges, rights and applicable bond amount.
Normally 9 a.m. Daily
The City states that people in custody on Irving Class C misdemeanor charges are magistrated daily at approximately 9 a.m.
Dallas County Schedule
People held on Class B misdemeanors and above are subject to the arraignment schedule determined by Dallas County rather than the City’s Class C magistration schedule.
Irving Bond, Alias Warrants and Capias Pro Fine Warrants
The correct payment method depends on the type of warrant or criminal charge. Do not treat every amount in a custody record as payable through the same website or agency.
Irving Class C Misdemeanor Warrants
The Irving Jail FAQ currently lists these possible methods for resolving an Irving Class C misdemeanor warrant while a person is in custody:
- Cash.
- MasterCard, Visa or Discover.
- Release as “time served” after enough jail credit is earned.
- A combination of jail credit and cash or credit-card payment.
Alias Warrant
Irving defines an Alias warrant as a warrant where no plea has been entered. The individual, a bail bond company or an attorney can post a bond intended to assure the person’s appearance in court.
Capias Pro Fine Warrant
A Capias Pro Fine generally follows a case in which a plea was entered but the person did not complete the court agreement. Irving says options are generally limited to paying the fine in full or remaining in custody until sufficient jail credit produces a time-served release.
Open Irving Warrant Guidance ↗
Outside-Jurisdiction Class C Warrants
Irving says an outside Class C misdemeanor may sometimes be payable through either the issuing agency or the City of Irving. However, the jail warns that most county agencies do not allow a city to accept bond or fine payments on county charges.
Verify the warrant agency before paying. Resolving one warrant does not necessarily release a person when another case or hold remains.
Felony or Non-Class-C Misdemeanor Bond
For a felony or misdemeanor other than a Class C misdemeanor, Irving directs users toward an attorney/bail bond company and the Dallas County Sheriff’s bond process.
Dallas County Cash-Bond Methods
- Cash.
- Qualifying cashier’s check.
- Qualifying money order.
- Dallas County currently says debit and credit cards are not accepted for cash bonds.

- Prescription medication can be accepted and dispensed in the prescribed manner.
- One pair of underwear and socks may be brought for a prisoner each day.

Mail, Phone Calls and Commissary: Confirm Before Using a County System
The current public Irving City Jail page focuses on short-term custody, magistration, bond, visits, property and transfer procedures. It does not currently publish the same type of detailed long-term inmate mail, commissary and communication program that a large county jail publishes.
Call Before Mailing or Funding Anything
If the person remains in Irving City Jail, call 972-721-2625 or 972-721-3608 before sending mail, attempting to add money or purchasing communication services.
Do not assume Dallas County vendors apply before a transfer occurs.
Switch to Dallas County Rules
Once Dallas County Jail Lookup confirms county custody, use Dallas County’s current inmate-mail, SmartInmate telephone/video and inmate-money instructions.
Victim Custody Notifications After a Dallas County Transfer
The City of Irving Victim Services page directs victims to custody-notification services when an arrestee has moved to Dallas County custody.
Texas made an administrative change on September 1, 2026: management of Texas IVSS-Counties moved from the Office of the Attorney General to the Office of the Governor. State guidance says the notification services themselves continue.
Texas IVSS-Counties
For participating county systems, IVSS-Counties provides custody-change and court-event notifications.
Help line: 866-393-5445
Do Not Rely on Alerts Alone
Automated notifications are useful but should not be treated as an emergency-warning guarantee. For immediate danger, use 911 and follow an appropriate personal safety plan.
Irving Police and Jail-Related Record Requests
The Irving Police Records section handles police records and participates in the City’s Texas Public Information Act process.
Irving Police Records Criminal Justice Center 305 N. O’Connor Road Irving, TX 75061 Phone: 972-721-2437Open-record requests must be made in writing through an approved City method, including the City’s online Police Department Open Records Portal, mail or in-person submission.

If the Person Is No Longer in Irving or Dallas County Custody
| Possible custody | Official starting point | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Irving City Jail | City of Irving Jail | Recent municipal detention or Irving city custody. |
| Dallas County Jail | Dallas County Jail Lookup | Person transferred to county custody or held on Dallas County matters. |
| Texas state prison | TDCJ Inmate Search | Person has entered Texas Department of Criminal Justice custody. |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | Person is in Federal Bureau of Prisons custody. |
| Immigration detention | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Person has been transferred into ICE custody. |
Texas Department of Criminal Justice
TDCJ is for state correctional custody, not a newly booked Irving City Jail detainee.
ICE Transfer
The Irving Jail page states that jail staff will not have information once a prisoner has been transferred into ICE custody. The City’s jail page lists a regional ICE contact number, but the most useful nationwide public search is ICE’s current Online Detainee Locator System.
ICE allows searches by A-Number and country of birth or by exact biographical information. The public locator does not search records for people under age 18.
Federal Bureau of Prisons
A federal prison sentence is separate from Irving or Dallas County jail custody. Use the BOP locator when federal prison custody is the relevant system.
