Marvin A. Smith Facility Inmate Lookup

Marvin A. Smith Facility Overview

Marvin A. Smith Facility is located at 197 Floyd Wingo Drive in Kilgore and is operated by the Gregg County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff's visitation page lists it as one of the three county jail facilities along with South Jail and North Jail. It holds people assigned within the Gregg County jail system, so the same general county custody distinctions apply: pretrial local custody, county sentences, holds, and transfer-related jail categories.

The facility's Kilgore location is a practical detail. A person may appear in the Gregg County jail search, but that does not mean the person is downtown in Longview. Marvin A. Smith has its own listed visiting hours, and visitors should not assume South Jail or North Jail rules are the correct schedule without checking the facility assignment.

Marvin A. Smith Facility Capacity and Population

TCJS reported Gregg County's countywide jail capacity as 916 beds and total jail population as 680 on June 1, 2026. Those figures cover the county jail system as a whole. A separate official bed count or current population count for Marvin A. Smith Facility was not located in the official sources reviewed.

The countywide TCJS numbers are still useful for understanding system capacity, but they cannot confirm that a specific inmate is at Marvin A. Smith. Use the jail search and facility phone contacts for current housing details.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Marvin A. Smith Facility

The correct online path for Marvin A. Smith Facility is the county Odyssey jail inmate search. This facility is a Gregg County jail building, so the county roster applies. TDCJ's statewide search applies only after a person is in state prison, and BOP or ICE locators apply only to their separate custody systems.

1. Open the sheriff-linked Odyssey jailing search for Gregg County.
2. Use the live form fields shown by the Tyler/Odyssey page to search for the person.
3. Confirm current Gregg County jail custody and check for housing or facility information.
4. If Marvin A. Smith is not clear in the online record, call Captain Tony Monsivais' listed contact at 903-237-2540 or the sheriff main number at 903-236-8400.

When a person does not appear online, consider timing and custody-system issues. A very recent booking may not be visible yet, a release may remove current custody, and a sentenced transfer may shift the search to TDCJ. For immigration or federal custody questions, use the separate ICE or BOP tools while also calling the jail if a local hold is possible.

Marvin A. Smith Facility Address and Contact

Marvin A. Smith Facility is the Gregg County jail facility located in Kilgore. The sheriff's visitation material lists Captain Tony Monsivais as the South Jail and Marvin A. Smith contact. The sheriff main line and jail questions line remain useful fallbacks for custody and records questions.

Visiting Someone at Marvin A. Smith Facility

Marvin A. Smith Facility has the same posted visiting hours as South Jail for all inmates, but it is a different physical destination in Kilgore. The Gregg County visitor-card process applies unless jail staff gives a different instruction. The inmate may request a visitor card with up to five immediate-family people. Common-law spouses are not approved unless legally married with proof, and visitors age 17 or older need proper identification.

The sheriff's official visitation page lists Marvin A. Smith with the county jail visitation schedule and rules.

The posted schedule confirms why facility assignment matters: a Gregg County inmate in Kilgore is not visited at the downtown Longview jail.

Visitors check in with the visitation lobby officer, sign in, and provide a driver's license or another accepted ID. Dress-code and prohibited-item rules apply. Regular visits last 20 minutes, and no paperwork, property, money, pictures, books, legal work, or letters may be exchanged during visits.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Marvin A. Smith Facility

Marvin A. Smith uses the Gregg County jail communications, mail, and commissary rules unless staff instructs otherwise. NCIC handles phone, video, and messages. TigerDeposits handles online inmate trust-fund deposits. Regular mail goes through the county scanning process and must include the inmate name, SO#, and return address.

Money orders should not include letters because they go to a separate trust-fund address. Multiple money orders may be sent in one envelope if they follow the inmate trust fund instructions. The inmate finance contact listed in the research is Marilyn Pierce at 903-236-1775.

Booking and Intake at Marvin A. Smith Facility

The official sources reviewed do not publish a separate Marvin A. Smith intake procedure, but the county jail process uses booking identifiers, trust accounts, visitor-card setup, and housing classification. Cash in the inmate's possession at booking is deposited into the trust account. The inmate's SO# is needed for mail and money-order deposits.

Marvin A. Smith assignment is a housing outcome inside the Gregg County jail system. A person may be booked after an arrest in Longview, Kilgore, or elsewhere in the county, then assigned to a county facility based on jail classification. For Kilgore city arrests, an individual might first pass through Kilgore Municipal Jail before release, municipal processing, or transfer to county custody.

Custody-System Distinctions for Marvin A. Smith

Marvin A. Smith Facility is a county jail facility. It is different from Kilgore Municipal Jail, which is a city police jail, and it is different from TDCJ state prisons. The county Odyssey jail search is appropriate for local Gregg County custody. TDCJ search is appropriate only for people currently incarcerated in state prison facilities.

Federal and immigration questions require separate context. Gregg County's USMS agreement means federal prisoners may be housed through the county jail, and the ICE 287(g) agreement means immigration screening or detainer issues may arise. Those facts do not replace the BOP locator for federal sentenced inmates or ICE ODLS for immigration detention.

About Marvin A. Smith Facility

Marvin A. Smith Facility gives Gregg County a jail location outside downtown Longview. That is why facility assignment has real consequences for families: the correct visit may be in Kilgore, while court and sheriff administrative offices may still be centered around the Gregg County Courthouse. The sheriff's public materials tie the broader county to the I-20 corridor and East Texas Piney Woods, but facility-level logistics depend on the actual housing site.

No official construction history, separate accreditation status, or facility-specific reentry program list for Marvin A. Smith was located in the reviewed sources. Confirmed county jail services include visitation, NCIC communications, digital mail, trust-fund deposits, and commissary procedures. County jail standards and population reporting remain under the Texas Commission on Jail Standards.
