Federal Custody from Ochiltree
A federal hold can close an Ochiltree County booking without returning the person to the community. USMS handles federal detention and movement, while BOP confines people serving federal prison terms. No broad USMS historical locator matches BOP's public tool. That means the chain may require the sheriff's destination field, the federal docket, the USMS records route, and then the BOP locator.
A transfer is a different result. The person may move to TDCJ after a felony sentence, to another county on a warrant, or into federal or immigration custody. In each case, the Ochiltree booking can close even though custody continues. The public InterOpWeb card uses the word RELEASED, but does not display a release reason, destination, receiving agency, or actual release time. State the narrow result accurately: the Ochiltree booking is marked released.
| Local exit | What to confirm | Next source |
|---|---|---|
| Bond or court release | Order and any open case | Court docket and sheriff record |
| Sentence complete | Release transaction and jail credit | Sheriff and sentencing court |
| State transfer | Receiving TDCJ custody | TDCJ offender search |
| Federal or ICE transfer | Receiving authority | BOP, USMS, or ICE route |
Confirm a BOP Release
The official BOP locator presents both number-based and name-based ways to find a federal custody record.
The locator fields support a national federal search and should not be replaced with the local Ochiltree jail roster.
Use the BOP Inmate Locator, which covers federal prisoners incarcerated from 1982 to the present. Search by BOP, DCDC, FBI, or INS number when known. A name search also offers age, race, and sex filters. Results show name, register number, age, race, sex, Release Date, and Location. Match the register number and identity fields before interpreting the status.
- Match the full name, arrest date, arresting agency, and available case or warrant details.
- Read the exact status. Save the booking details if the historical card says RELEASED.
- Ask the Sheriff's Office for the release or transfer transaction, including time, type, authority, and destination if recorded and public.
- Check the court docket for bond, dismissal, judgment, sentence, commitment, or another release order.
- When transfer is possible, confirm the next custody system before describing a community release.
Federal Prison Records Route
No dedicated online sheriff records form, fixed booking-photo fee, or promised response time was found in the project research. Call first to confirm the agency's current delivery method before sending sensitive identifiers. A request under Texas Government Code Chapter 552 should seek existing records, not ask the office to research a legal question or create a new report.
Ochiltree County Sheriff's Office511 S. Ash
Perryton, TX 79070
806-435-8000
Contact the office for the current records-request channel and hours.
Give the person's full name, arrest date, and booking or case number when known. Ask for the jail-register entry and booking-in or booking-out record. Request the release or transfer date and time, transaction type, releasing authority, and receiving or destination agency if those fields exist and are public. The Texas Attorney General requester guidance explains the state process. “Promptly” means within a reasonable time, not a guaranteed ten-business-day delivery date.
BOP Locator Release Fields
The online card is a lead, not the full event record. It can show the name, status, age, arrest date, arresting agency, days in jail, bond and charge details, warrant information, and a booking image. Historical views observed in the research included the literal status RELEASED. Bond details may be redacted there.
- Release record
- The transaction that closes or transfers one custody episode.
- Detainer
- A request or legal basis for another authority to take or continue custody.
- Discharge
- Completion of a sentence or supervision obligation when the responsible record supports it.
- Transfer
- A change in custodial agency, not release to the community.
Do not infer a release date by subtracting “Days In Jail” from another date. Partial days, data rules, and transfers can alter that count. Arrest date is not release date. Bond does not show that money was posted, and charges are allegations rather than outcomes. The full record should be paired with the court disposition.
Federal Judgment and Release
A vanished web card does not mean the government record vanished. Texas State Library Local Schedule PS identifies the county jail register as permanent. Its minimum content includes the name, intake number, reason for confinement, and release or transfer date. Incarceration records, including booking-in, booking-out, transport, and release orders, generally carry a release-or-transfer-plus-two-years minimum in that schedule.
Those periods are retention floors, not promises that a record stays online or that every field is open without redaction. Expunction or another lawful order can override normal retention. Begin with the permanent jail-register entry when an old InterOpWeb result cannot be found. Then seek the booking-out record and destination field. The broader Ochiltree County released inmate search explains how county, court, and receiving-system proof fit together.
Can BOP Release Mean Transfer?
A locator result should be saved with its register number, exact date labels, location text, and lookup date. Dynamic results can change, so later confirmation should return to the federal source instead of relying on an undated copy.
Yes. BOP explains that Released or Not in BOP Custody means the person is no longer held by BOP. It does not rule out custody in another law-enforcement or corrections system, parole, or federal supervised release. The locator's Release Date is the BOP custody endpoint, not the full legal history. First Step Act recalculation can also affect a date shown in the tool. Compare the result with the federal sentencing judgment, which states the prison and supervised-release terms, and with the docket for later orders. If the person moved through USMS custody but never entered the searchable BOP population, use the USMS FOIA route. BOP records requests are available through BOP FOIA; person-specific material may require identity or Privacy Act authorization. Keep the county booking, marshal detention, BOP sentence, and later supervision as separate events.
Yes. An immigration detainer can produce a local release transaction followed at once by federal civil custody. This is the distinctive transfer risk in the Ochiltree County record. The historical card does not show the next custodian, so its RELEASED label cannot establish freedom from custody.
Ask whether a receiving agency appears in the sheriff's release record. If ICE is named, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator System with an A-number and country of birth, or with the biographical fields offered. Recent processing, transit, aliases, and data differences can cause no result. A no-result is not proof of release. Federal criminal custody instead calls for the BOP or USMS chain. Note: Always record the source and lookup date because custody databases and destination details can change.
