Foard County 24-Hour Release Status
No official Foard County 24-hour release feed was located on the reviewed Foard County Sheriff page, county sitemap, or official-channel sweep as of August 2, 2026. The official page also did not link a current roster, release archive, booking-photo gallery, mobile app, or Sheriff social account. That finding should not be stretched into a claim that the office keeps no internal custody data. It means there is no verified public page that can be treated as the county's live list of people released today.
For Foard County, the useful same-day question is where the person was housed. The Sheriff may hold the arrest and local custody entry while another county jail holds the physical booking and gate-exit data. A bare status of “released” can also describe a handoff to TDCJ, another jail, ICE, or the U.S. Marshals Service. Only a physical discharge into the community is a community release.
Check Foard County Same-Day Releases
Because no public feed is documented, begin with a precise identity and a fixed Central Time interval. Avoid a floating request for “the last 24 hours,” which changes while an office processes it. The Sheriff can identify the housing agency and say whether its own entry ended in release or transfer. The receiving jail is then the source for the physical exit record.
- Write down the full name, date of birth if known, arrest date, and the calendar date to check.
- Call the Foard County Sheriff's Office at 940-684-1501 during its posted Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours. Ask which jail housed the person.
- Ask whether the Foard custody event ended in community release, transfer, or return under a court order. Request the booking identifier and event time.
- Contact the named receiving jail and confirm its actual gate discharge, release authority, and destination.
- Pair the custody answer with the proper court judgment, bond order, dismissal, or sentence-completion entry when the legal basis matters.
A person-specific search may be faster than asking an office to compile a countywide list that it does not already keep. The complete named-person route is covered on the Foard County released-inmate search. Court authorization and jail exit data should agree, but they answer different questions.
Foard County Release Fields to Request
Foard County does not publish a field dictionary for a recent-release page. The following are fields to request from existing Sheriff or receiving-jail records, not a claim that every field appears in one database. Ask for the type and destination as well as the timestamp. That detail separates release into the community from a custodial transfer.
| Requested field | What it can establish |
|---|---|
| Name and booking number | Links the event to the correct booking and helps resolve similar names. |
| Booking and release date/time | Defines whether the event falls inside the chosen 24-hour interval. |
| Housing facility | Identifies the jail that held the person and may own the gate-exit record. |
| Release type or authority | Shows bond, time served, dismissal, court order, sentence completion, or another basis if recorded. |
| Destination or receiving agency | Distinguishes community discharge from transfer to another custodian. |
| Charge and court/cause number | Connects the jail event to the controlling court file. |
The court order may show that release was authorized. It does not by itself show when processing ended or whether another hold kept the person confined. The jail log supplies the physical custody timestamp, while a later agency record can show transfer or supervision.
Request Foard County 24-Hour Records
A written Texas Public Information Act request can seek existing entries for a set day. Mail it to Foard County Sheriff, P.O. Box 309, Crowell, TX 79227. The Sheriff's web contact form is an inquiry route, but the official page does not identify it as formal public-information intake. Calling first can confirm the accepted delivery method and the agency that holds the physical-jail record.
State the start and end timestamps, including the timezone. Request the booking number, release time, release type or authority, housing facility, and destination or receiving agency if public. Ask for electronic copies and an advance cost estimate. No Foard-specific flat fee was found. Government Code Chapter 552 applies to records an office already maintains; it does not require the Sheriff to create a new 24-hour report or calculate a list that does not exist.
If the Sheriff names an out-of-county jail, send that jail a matching narrow request. For a longer interval that can absorb an uncertain event day, use the Released Last 72 Hours process.
A request should seek records rather than answers to open-ended questions. An office may have a booking sheet, transfer entry, release log, or photograph without maintaining a prebuilt list for the public. If the response says another agency owns part of the file, preserve that answer and contact the named custodian. The resulting records can then be compared by booking number, date, court, and destination.
Foard Release or Custody Transfer
A live roster, when one exists at the actual receiving jail, shows current custody. A person who is no longer on that roster might have been released, transferred, entered another system, or had a record changed. Foard County's official page does not supply a roster that resolves this issue. Start with the Sheriff and receiving jail instead of treating a search miss as proof.
| Situation | Best confirming source |
|---|---|
| Physical county-jail release | Receiving jail custody log and gate-exit timestamp |
| Foard entry closed by transfer | Sheriff transfer record plus receiving agency record |
| Current TDCJ confinement | TDCJ current-inmate search |
| Completed TDCJ release | TDCJ information or public-information record, parole channel, and court record |
| Federal or immigration custody change | BOP locator, ICE locator, federal court record, or holding jail as applicable |
Texas IVSS-Counties can provide a release alert when Foard participates and the registration matches. It is a prospective alert system, not an archive of everyone released today. A received alert is useful corroboration, but the custodian's record holds the release type and destination.
For a state-prison transfer, the TDCJ current-inmate search can confirm confinement only while the person remains in a TDCJ unit. It is not a historic released-person index. After a completed TDCJ release, use TDCJ information or public-information channels, any active parole record, and the court disposition. A federal or immigration transfer requires the matching federal locator and case record.
Why Foard Release Lists Mislead
Foard County's unusual detention structure makes roster interpretation especially risky. Dated Texas Commission on Jail Standards reports showed zero rated local jail capacity and Foard detainees housed elsewhere. Those reports describe an earlier measurement period, not today's population, yet they document why the actual receiving jail must be identified before anyone claims a community release.
A Foard-oriented record may stop when custody moves to the receiving jail. The receiving jail may later release the person, transfer them again, or hold them under another authority. Each change can have its own timestamp. Ask the Sheriff where Foard placed the person, then follow that chain until the agency with physical custody confirms the final event.
Note: Historical capacity data explains the records path, but it does not identify today's receiving jail or prove any current release.
Foard Release Apps and Photos
No official Sheriff app, linked social account, recent-release photo page, or public roster was found in the reviewed official channels. A generic jail app or commercial copied list should not be substituted for a Foard County source. If a booking image matters to the record, ask the Sheriff whether it or the receiving jail is the photograph custodian.
The official Sheriff page shown here is useful precisely because it provides office contact information while showing no linked release feature in the reviewed page.
A later official tool could change the available route. Its source, window, fields, update statement, and retention terms should be checked before relying on it.
Getting Home After Foard Release
Transportation planning begins only after the actual release address is known. A person arrested in Foard County may leave from an out-of-county jail, so Crowell cannot safely be assumed to be the pickup point. Confirm the gate, expected processing status, and whether property pickup occurs at the same place before arranging a ride.
TxDOT's Texas transit-agency directory lists SHARP Lines, operated by Rolling Plains Management Corporation, in Crowell and includes Foard County in its service area. Call-ahead transit is only a lead. The source does not promise on-demand jail pickup, same-day availability, a fare, a schedule, or eligibility. The service can be contacted at 940-684-1571 after the real release site and timing are confirmed.
Note: Do not dispatch a ride from a Foard roster change; wait for the receiving jail to confirm the physical release location.
