Miller County Sheriff's Office, headquartered at 2300 East Street in Texarkana, Arkansas 71854, provides primary law enforcement services to unincorporated areas of Miller County. Miller County Detention Center, operated by the Sheriff's Office at the same address, houses inmates awaiting trial and those serving sentences up to one year. Within Miller County, the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department provides municipal law enforcement for the Arkansas side of the city, with headquarters at 100 N. Stateline Avenue, while smaller communities may contract with the Sheriff's Office for police services. Citizens can request arrest records by submitting a written FOIA request to the Sheriff's Office or the respective police department that made the arrest, though some information may be redacted for ongoing investigations or privacy concerns.

Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 65 mine sites inside the county: 60 past producers, now closed, 5 sites producing when the record was made; the old survey maps add 40 holes drawn inside the county, 0 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are construction sand and gravel; Clay; Sand and Gravel, Construction; Clay.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area.
Miller County sits over a mapped coal field and the coal there is lignite, worked mostly at the surface. The two federal files record a shaft, an adit or a deposit where one was drawn on a survey sheet or catalogued as a site; neither file carries the outline of the workings, so the counts above are not the measure of what was mined under this county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by Arkansas DEQ Coal Program (abandoned coal mine reclamation) and linked below.
Arkansas abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about. PublicRecordCenter.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of this information.
Labor Department file
The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division closed 96 investigations in Miller County since fiscal 2005 and recorded $502,849 in back wages agreed for 1,233 workers. The county is the one the Census Bureau puts each employer's ZIP code in. Snapshot of April 22, 2026; a case here is a finding by the Division, not a court judgment.

Know before you ask
Each figure below was read on the official source linked beside it, October to November 2026. A fee or rule the source does not state is left out rather than guessed, and offices can change their schedules, so confirm on the source before you pay or travel.
Miller County divides its clerk work in a way that matters when requesting a record. The Circuit Clerk holds civil, domestic-relations, criminal, and juvenile court records and also records real-estate instruments. The County Clerk handles probate matters, marriage licenses, voter registration, and county and quorum-court records. An estate inquiry and a divorce inquiry therefore begin with different offices, even though both concern court proceedings. Identify the kind of case before supplying a name and approximate year. Sources: Circuit Clerk responsibilities and County Clerk responsibilities.
The Circuit Clerk is at 400 Laurel Street, Suite 109, Texarkana, AR 71854, telephone 870-774-4501, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., including lunch. The County Clerk is in Suite 105 at the same street address, telephone 870-774-1501, with the same listed weekday hours. Use the suite associated with the record you want. A generic courthouse address without the office name can leave an estate paper or land-copy request without a clear recipient. Source: millercountyar.gov
The Arkansas Judiciary directs researchers from Public CourtConnect to Search ARCourts. Search by party name or case number, then examine the court, case type, and disposition. The system can show parties, filings, charges, scheduled events, and judgments, with document links for some public records. Availability of a docket entry does not mean every attachment has an online image. If a result identifies only basic case statistics, ask the filing court for the fuller docket and the particular document. Retain the court designation with the case number so staff can distinguish a Circuit Court file from a similarly numbered District Court matter. The Judiciary describes circuit-court statistical coverage statewide and additional case details through participating courts' case-management systems. See Search ARCourts guidance.
For an absent document, give the clerk its docket description and filing date instead of asking staff to reproduce an entire file without a defined scope. District Court is a separate route: the county lists its office at 2300 East Street, Texarkana, with telephone 870-772-2780. A traffic citation should identify the court assigned to hear it. Do not infer that a citation belongs to Circuit Court simply because an arrest occurred in Miller County. Ask the identified clerk to confirm the document and certification charge. Sources: arcourts.gov and District Court contacts.
The Circuit Clerk records deeds, mortgages, liens, surety bonds, and other instruments affecting county property. For a historical copy, provide the parties, approximate recording date, legal description if known, and any book/page or instrument reference. Ask separately about a plain copy and a certified copy; the new-document recording fee does not establish either copy price. The office also offers a property-fraud notification service without a charge to the landowner. Source: millercountyar.gov
The posted recording charge is $15 for the first page and $5 for each additional page, with extra charges possible when a document lists multiple instruments. The clerk also posts a July 1, 2025 notice requiring individuals selling or giving away real property to bring the deed with valid photo identification. Confirm how that requirement applies to your submission method before mailing a transfer. Recording instructions call for the grantor, grantee, preparer's information, acknowledgment, required margins, and a return envelope. A document's acceptability and total charge depend on its contents. Source: millercountyar.gov
The Assessor's office provides the county's official route to online real-estate research through actDataScout. Begin there for a parcel's assessment entry, then carry its recording reference to the Circuit Clerk when you need the deed itself. The Assessor lists staff for real-estate records, mapping, and deeds, which is useful when an ownership name or parcel boundary needs clarification. Save the parcel identifier and the year of the assessment; a current ownership display may not answer who was taxed in an earlier year. See the county Assessor information.
Assessment staff are in Suite 100 at 400 Laurel Street, telephone 870-774-1502. The Collector is in Suite 111, telephone 870-774-1001; both list weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Ask the Assessor about valuation or property data and the Collector about bills or payments. If a record appears inconsistent, identify which field and tax year need review, rather than treating a paid balance as proof of ownership or an assessment as proof that a payment posted. Sources: millercountyar.gov and the Collector office listing.
The County Clerk sells certified marriage-license copies for $5 each. That is different from the $60 charge for a new marriage license. The same office maintains probate, guardianship, and adoption records, but the fact that it holds a record does not make a restricted file open to any requester. For family research, specify whether you want the recorded marriage, an estate file, or another proceeding, and ask what identification or authority applies to the requested record. See County Clerk services.
The Clerk directs birth and death applicants to the Miller County Health Unit at 503 Walnut Street, telephone 870-773-2108, and Arkansas Vital Records. The state lists birth certificates at $12 for the first copy and $10 for an additional copy of the same record ordered together. Death certificates are $10 first and $8 additional. Online processing, identity-verification, and shipping charges are separate. A state divorce coupon, listed at $10 per copy, is also distinct from the court's divorce decree. Sources: millercountyclerkar.com, birth instructions, death instructions, and divorce-coupon instructions.
Miller Sheriff Records is at 2300 East Street, not the older East 9 thStreet address. Its guidance says routine incident reports are usually ready within one working day and crash reports within 48 hours, with pickup through the front desk Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Those are routine availability estimates, not a promise for every investigation. Call 870-774-3001 with the report number before visiting, particularly if the incident was recent or another agency responded. See Sheriff report procedures.
Texarkana Arkansas Police maintains its own records at the Bi-State Justice Center, 100 N. Stateline Avenue. Its records instructions list a $10 crash-report charge and an online provider option with an added convenience charge. Another departmental records listing gives $5 for an ordinary police report. Request the Arkansas agency's report when it investigated the incident, even though Texarkana spans two states. For questions, the department's contact directory lists 903-798-3298 for records and reports. Sources: Police contacts, Police Records, and the report listing.
The Miller County Detention Center number is 870-779-3611. The Sheriff's jail instructions identify 2300 East Street as its location and direct questions about charges, bond, and court dates to detention staff. Texarkana Arkansas Police explains that people charged through its department are housed at Miller County Detention Center, while the Bi-State Jail is operated by the Bowie County, Texas Sheriff. Use the operator and state to distinguish similarly named jail-search results. Sources: Miller jail information and the city Police jail explanation.
The jail's published personal-correspondence instructions use the inmate's name and Miller County Detention Center, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131 for scanned mail. That is not the Arkansas office destination for a public-records request. The jail also lists public fingerprinting on Fridays by appointment for $15, with photo identification required. This is a local fingerprinting service, not a price for an Arkansas statewide criminal-history search. Confirm inmate-service requirements with the jail before sending materials. Source: millercountyso.us
The Sheriff's current FOIA form asks for names, dates, approximate times, locations, case numbers, a date range, and preferred delivery method. It identifies reproduction, media, and mailing costs and says staff may notify the requester if costs exceed $25. Use that space to distinguish an incident report from a booking record or a particular recording. Keep a copy of the request and the office response so later follow-up can refer to the same scope. See the Sheriff request form.
The Arkansas Attorney General describes public-record access under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, subject to exemptions and actual reproduction costs. A statewide background check follows a separate State Police service: $22 for the route based on a legal mandate or signed subject consent, and $24 through Open Criminal History for another personal inquiry. Miller Sheriff says it supplies information about its own incidents rather than a statewide background check.
