Where Is the Jail in Amarillo? (Locations + What to Do)

Two facilities, one process. Here's where to start.

If someone has been arrested in Amarillo, one of the first questions is:

"Where are they?"

Knowing which jail they're in, and what to do next, can save valuable time and prevent delays.

At Allstate Bail Bond, we help families locate inmates quickly and start the bail process immediately.

The Two Main Jails in Amarillo

There are two primary facilities:

Potter County Detention Center

13100 NE 29th Avenue, Amarillo, TX 79111

(806) 335-4100

Randall County Jail

9100 South Georgia Street, Amarillo, TX 79118

(806) 468-5752

It's important to know which one you're dealing with. The process can vary slightly.

How to Find Out Where Someone Is

If you're unsure:

  • Check the jail roster (Potter or Randall)
  • Search by name
  • Call a bail bondsman

We can often locate someone faster than searching on your own.

What To Do After You Find Them

Once you confirm the jail:

  1. Check if bail has been set
  2. Contact a bail bondsman
  3. Start the process immediately

Waiting is the biggest cause of delays.

Why Location Matters

Going to the wrong jail or calling the wrong office can:

  • Waste time
  • Delay paperwork
  • Slow down release

We make sure everything is handled correctly from the start.
