Marlin, TX Marlin Transfer Facility View
Marlin Transfer Facility is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice transfer facility located in Marlin, Falls County, Texas. It is operated by TDCJ, not the county sheriff, and is used for people in state custody who are being processed, assigned, or moved within the state correctional system. Transfer facilities generally hold sentenced inmates and other TDCJ custody cases rather than newly arrested pretrial detainees. Its role is to provide secure housing, classification support, and temporary placement for inmates awaiting movement to another state unit or program.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Marlin Transfer Facility
To find an inmate here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility roster or TDCJ custody search. Inmate rosters commonly list the person’s name, identifying number, booking or received date, charges or offense information, and custody status. Records may not appear immediately after arrest, transfer, or intake because processing and data entry can take several hours. If the person was recently arrested in Falls County and is not listed in the TDCJ system, check with the local county jail or court because pretrial detainees may be held outside this state transfer facility.
