Notes on the record
- This is Texas County, OKLAHOMA — a panhandle county whose seat is Guymon. It is not related to the state of Texas.
- Unnamed jail: Texas County operates a detention facility at the Sheriff's Office address but publishes no jail name, no jail page, no roster and no jail address. The only name on the public record is the state's, 'TEXAS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY'.
- Dead official domain: texascountyok.gov is registered to Texas County (Guymon, OK) in the federal .gov registry and the county publishes the sheriff's email on that domain (matt.boley@texascountyok.gov), but the domain does not resolve to a website.
- Texas County has by far the widest gap between rated capacity and use in this group: 43 people held against 142 rated beds at the March 2026 inspection.
- The county's resolutions page publishes sheriff-related items — '#155-25-26 Sheriff's Funding Assistance Grant Application', '#15-25-26 Sheriff's Office Funding Assistance', and '#38-15-16 Approving Assessment & Collection by the Texas County Court Clerk of ten dollars per civil case filing for use…
- The county's fee schedule lists only sheriff's service fees for tax warrants and court-ordered sales under the Treasurer's section — no sheriff or jail fee schedule of its own — so `fees` is false.
- Texas County publishes no single 'Board of County Commissioners' page — only three separate district pages (/offices/commissioner-district-1, -2 and -3) listed under /offices.
These three offices decide who sits in a cell in Texas County and what it costs the people who live here. Nationally, almost 77% of the people who died in local jails in 2019 had not been convicted of anything, and suicide was the leading single cause of those deaths (Bureau of Justice Statistics, Mortality in Local Jails, 2000–2019).
