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
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
