Tulia, TX Tulia Transfer Facility View
Tulia Transfer Facility is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice transfer facility located in Tulia, Swisher County, Texas. It is operated by TDCJ and generally houses state inmates who have been sentenced and are awaiting transfer, classification, or placement within the state correctional system. Unlike a county jail, it is not primarily used for local pretrial detention; people awaiting trial are usually held in the county jail unless transferred under a court or agency process. The facility’s role is to support inmate movement, housing, and custody within the Texas state prison system.
Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Tulia Transfer Facility
To find someone housed here, use the official inmate search link available on this page for the facility’s roster or state inmate lookup. Inmate search records typically list the person’s name, identification number, current location, custody status, and may include offense or sentence information. County jail rosters often show booking date and charges, but a state transfer facility may display different details. New records usually take several hours to process after intake or transfer, so an inmate may not appear immediately. If the person is not listed, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate county sheriff’s office for guidance.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Tulia Transfer Facility?

How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows inmates to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Families can usually add funds through the approved deposit system, but limits, fees, and posting times may apply.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Tulia Transfer Facility?
Because this is a state transfer facility, inmates housed here are generally already sentenced or in state custody, so bail may not apply. If the person has an active local case, contact the court or county jail that handled the charge for bond information.

During intake, staff verify identity, review records, complete classification steps, and assign housing. Processing can take several hours, and the inmate may not appear in the search system immediately after arrival or transfer.
