About Richardson City Jail

The Richardson Jail at 140 N Greenville Avenue is the booking and holding facility for the Richardson Police Department, and since October 1, 2025 it has also handled jail services for the Town of Addison under an Interlocal Agreement. Richardson itself straddles the Dallas County and Collin County line in north suburban Dallas — the majority of the city sits in Dallas County, with a smaller portion crossing into Collin. Richardson is the historical center of the North Texas Telecom Corridor, home to Texas Instruments’ headquarters and the University of Texas at Dallas, which together drive heavy commuter traffic on US-75 (Central Expressway) and the President George Bush Turnpike. Richardson PD handles municipal booking; Dallas County charges transfer to Lew Sterrett Justice Center for magistration and bond posting. The arrest profile is heavily weighted toward traffic-stop offenses on Central Expressway, university-area incidents around the UT Dallas campus, and DWI enforcement on the President George Bush Turnpike corridor.

How to Post Bond at Richardson City Jail

01

Arrest & Intake at Richardson Jail

Richardson Police — or a contracted partner agency such as Addison PD — transport arrested individuals to the Richardson Jail at 140 N Greenville Avenue for booking, including identification verification, fingerprinting, and personal property inventory.

02

County Determination & Time-Sensitive Bond Window

Richardson booking staff first confirm which county the offense actually occurred in — most cases route to Dallas County, with a smaller share going to Collin. With both Richardson PD and Addison PD now feeding through the same intake at 140 N Greenville Avenue, bond windows can be tight, but the upside is consolidated processing — a single point of contact for our agents. Call the second you know an arrest happened.

03

Bond Posted Locally When Possible

When our agent reaches 140 N Greenville Avenue before the transport van departs, bond is posted directly at Richardson — one of the most-used local-posting destinations in our service area now that Richardson handles both its own bookings and contracted Addison bookings. After any transfer, we move to either Lew Sterrett (Dallas County) or the Collin County Jail in McKinney (Collin County cases).

04

Magistration & Bond at Lew Sterrett

A Dallas County magistrate reviews the charges and sets a bond amount. Once set, an Act Quick agent posts bond at the 24-hour bond window.

05

Initial Check-In — Required

Within 24 to 72 hours of release, the defendant must report to our office for a mandatory initial check-in. We review all court dates, bond conditions, and reporting requirements. Failure to complete this check-in results in bond forfeiture and a new warrant for the defendant’s arrest.

Richardson City Jail FAQs

How do I know if a Richardson arrest is a Dallas County or Collin County case?
Jurisdiction is determined by the precise location of the offense, not the address of the defendant. Most of Richardson sits in Dallas County, but the northeastern portion of the city crosses into Collin County. Booking personnel identify the correct county, and that determines which courthouse handles the case and which jail processes the bond.
Does the Richardson Jail also book Addison arrests?
Yes. Effective October 1, 2025, the City of Richardson took over jail services for the Town of Addison under an Interlocal Agreement. Anyone arrested by Addison PD is transported to the Richardson Jail at 140 N Greenville Avenue. Richardson Jail can be reached at 972-744-4820.
Are traffic-stop arrests on US-75 common in Richardson?
Yes. Central Expressway (US-75) carries heavy commuter traffic through Richardson, and Richardson PD runs active enforcement along this corridor. DWI, drug possession, and warrant-stop arrests originating from US-75 traffic stops are a frequent share of Richardson’s arrest volume.
How quickly can someone bond out after a Richardson arrest?
Since the Addison contract took effect on October 1, 2025, the Richardson Jail at 140 N Greenville Avenue handles intake for two municipal agencies — Richardson PD and Addison PD — which means a single Richardson booking team is the gatekeeper for our paperwork either way. We frequently post bond at Richardson before any transfer to Lew Sterrett occurs, but the window closes the moment the transfer van leaves. Call (214) 744-1414 the second you know an arrest happened so we can be moving toward Greenville Avenue before intake even completes.
