Dallas CountyLew Sterrett Justice Center — Inmate Search, Bail & Release
Dallas County's main jail — how booking, magistration and release work, and how fast a bondsman can post.
About Lew Sterrett Justice Center
Lew Sterrett Justice Center is located at 111 W Commerce St, Dallas, TX 75202 and handles booking and holding for Dallas County. Nearly every arrest in the county is processed here — booked, held for magistration, and released once bond is posted. A-EZ Out Bail Bonds keeps a licensed office in Dallas close to the facility, so we can act the moment bail is set.
How to find someone booked at Lew Sterrett Justice Center
If you're not sure whether your loved one has been booked, run a Dallas County inmate search, or simply call us with the person's full name and date of birth. A licensed agent will locate them, confirm the charge and the bail amount, and explain your options — there's no charge to ask.
How bail is set at Lew Sterrett Justice Center
After booking, the person waits for a magistrate to review the charge and set a bail amount. Misdemeanor bonds are typically lower and move faster; felony bonds carry higher amounts and stricter conditions. Rather than pay the full cash bail to the court, most families use a licensed Dallas County bail bondsman: you pay a percentage as the fee and A-EZ Out posts the full amount on your behalf.
How fast can you get out of Lew Sterrett Justice Center?
Booking and magistration can take several hours before bail is even set — that part is up to the facility, and we monitor it for you so you aren't left calling the jail. Once bail is set and we post the bond, release from most DFW facilities follows within 1–4 hours. Because our Dallas office is close by, there's no cross-town delay on our end.
