Panola County Busted Mugshots is a private reference source, not a government office. It cannot verify custody, release someone, post a bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Direct those requests to the public office that maintains the relevant record.
Official Panola County Contacts
For current custody questions and the county’s inmate-search route, start with the Panola County Sheriff’s Office or the Panola County Detention Center. The sheriff’s official contact page identifies Cutter Clinton as sheriff. It does not list a distinct records-unit line or published public hours, so use the general contacts below and confirm arrangements before visiting.
Panola County Sheriff’s Office
314 W. Wellington
Carthage, TX 75633
903-693-0333
Panola County Detention Center
319 W. Wellington
Carthage, TX 75633
903-693-0359
The sheriff’s Public Information Act form asks for a detailed description and a written-notice contact method. It does not publish a fixed photo fee or a promised turnaround. Narrow the request by person and date range, ask for a cost estimate when applicable, and check the current public portal first. A separate county agency list uses 300 W. Wellington for the detention center, so verify the current service address with the agency or clerk before sending formal delivery.
Where to Direct a Record Question
- For a current inmate, the county-linked detention search and the Detention Center are the appropriate routes. The Panola records hub distinguishes current custody from older records.
- For a booking record or sheriff-held public information, use the Sheriff’s Office Public Information Act path. The county portal is a current-custody source, not proof that no older record exists.
- For a district-court file, contact the Panola County District Clerk, 110 S. Sycamore St., Room 227, Carthage, TX 75633, 903-693-0306. The office lists in-person service Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; online requests may be delivered by email with payment by phone, and the office asks visitors to allow three business days.
- For County Clerk public-information requests, contact the Panola County Clerk, 110 S. Sycamore St., Room 201, Carthage, TX 75633, 903-693-0302, countyclerk@co.panola.tx.us.
- For an active-warrant or case question, use Panola Odyssey Public Access and then the court or issuing agency. Most Wanted Fugitives explains that record path without treating a warrant indicator as a final case result.
- For a state-prison record, use the official Texas Department of Criminal Justice offender search. Federal and immigration custody have separate official BOP and ICE locators.
A booking entry or charge is an allegation, not a finding of guilt. For a case outcome, ask the appropriate court or clerk for the disposition.
