Welcome to the official website of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

As Sheriff, it is my honor to serve the citizens of Orange County, Texas—a proud and resilient community with a deep sense of heritage, duty, and neighborly spirit. Orange County spans approximately 380 square miles and is home to more than 85,000 residents. The county seat is the City of Orange, which serves as the heart of our local government and public services.

Our county holds a unique and strategic position—bordering the state of Louisiana to the east and the Gulf of America to the south—making Orange County both a border and coastal community. This geographic significance presents unique challenges and opportunities, and the Orange County Sheriff’s Office remains vigilant and adaptive in addressing the diverse needs of our region.

Our agency is also responsible for operating the only jail facility in Orange County, with the capacity to house approximately 350 inmates. We manage this responsibility with professionalism, transparency, and a commitment to safety for both our staff and those in our custody.

The men and women of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office are guided by our core values of integrity, honesty, respect, courage, fairness, accountability, and confidentiality. We are committed to serving with compassion and dedication, building strong relationships with the community, and ensuring a safe and secure environment for all who live in or visit Orange County.

Thank you for visiting our website and for supporting the work we do each day.
