Visitation is held on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Video visits run $7.50 for 15 minutes. Mail to Miller County inmates must come on postcards only, with the one exception of legal mail. The Tiger Commissary kiosk is in the lobby and runs 24 hours a day.

Texarkana Arkansas Police and Miller County Bookings

Texarkana Arkansas Police Department makes most city arrests that end up as Miller County recent bookings. The department is at 100 N State Line Ave, Texarkana, AR 71854. Non-emergency phone is (903) 798-3130. Chief Michael Kramm leads the department. Per department policy, all Texarkana Arkansas arrestees are housed at the Miller County Detention Center. See the city jail page for arrest log info at arkpolice.txkusa.org/city-jail.

The Texarkana Arkansas Police page lists booking procedures, the contact line for arrest reports, and the routing that sends a city arrest to Miller County intake. If an arrest was made by a Texarkana city officer, the initial arrest report stays with the police department, but the full booking record lives with the Miller County jail. Ask both offices if you need the full file on a Miller County recent booking.

Miller County Circuit Clerk Court Records

The Miller County Circuit Clerk tracks the court side of every Miller County booking that turns into a filed case. The office sits at 400 Laurel Street, Suite 109, Texarkana, AR 71854. Phone is (870) 774-4501. Circuit Clerk Penny Kilcrease runs the office. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The page is at millercountyar.gov/circuit-clerk.

The clerk keeps felony filings, misdemeanor bindovers, civil cases, and domestic files. Once a Miller County booking gets charged, the prosecutor files with the clerk. From that point, the case is on the Arkansas court search. The clerk also holds judgments, sentencing orders, and warrants. Copies are $0.25 per page. Certified copies are $5 per document. You can ask for case files by walk-in or by mail.

For in-person work on a Miller County booking file, bring the case number if you have it. If not, bring the full name and date of arrest. The staff can pull the jacket and show the charging papers. Fees may need pre-payment if the total goes over $25.

CourtConnect and Miller County Booking Cases

Arkansas has a statewide case search called CourtConnect, now named Search ARCourts. It is run by the Administrative Office of the Courts. Visit caseinfo.arcourts.gov to look up any Miller County booking case that has a filing. The search covers Miller County Circuit Court and Miller County District Court.

Search Miller County cases by name, case number, filing date, or docket date. You can filter by case type, by Miller County, and by the location code for the court. Each record shows parties, the judge, charges, filed documents, hearings, and any disposition. Juvenile records and sealed cases do not show up. The court data updates daily, so a brand-new Miller County booking may take a day or two to appear after a prosecutor files.

Miller County District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic tickets, and small claims from Texarkana and the surrounding towns. Felony booking cases move to Miller County Circuit Court after a probable cause review. Use the court's docket listing to find the next hearing on a Miller County recent booking.

The Arkansas Freedom of Information Act lives at A.C.A. § 25-19-101 through § 25-19-119. It treats Miller County jail booking data, arrest logs, inmate files, and incident reports as public. That covers recent bookings, mugshots, charge sheets, and bond amounts. Submit the request to the Miller County Sheriff's Office in writing.

Nearby County Booking Rosters

If the person you need was not booked in Miller County, check a nearby county. These sheriff offices handle jail booking and recent bookings for towns around Texarkana.

Texarkana straddles the Arkansas and Texas line, so a person booked on the Texas side will not show in Miller County records. Always ask both sides if you are not sure which state handled the arrest.
