2001 E Jackson Rd, Carrollton, TX 75006

The Carrollton City Jail is one of the most jurisdictionally complex booking facilities in the DFW metroplex — Carrollton spans three counties (Dallas, Denton, and Collin), so the exact location of the arrest determines which county system processes the case. Dallas County arrests transfer approximately 20 miles south to Lew Sterrett Justice Center via I-35E.
