Where to Request Tensas Records
The Tensas Parish Sheriff's Office is the first contact for parish booking and release records. No verified public counter hours or fixed local records fee was found, so ask for current hours and a written cost estimate before visiting or ordering copies.

Use the route that matches the question:
- For a released person or a parish release record, begin with the full Tensas Parish search and request path.
- For community supervision, use Post-Release Supervision and the Tallulah district at 318-574-4201.
- For a time-bounded local release log, use the 24-Hour Releases request format.
- For a forecast or alert, use the Release Date Lookup or VINE Inmate Check.
- For a state discharge record, contact Louisiana DPS&C Public Information at 225-342-6744 or docpublicrecords@la.gov.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the official BOP or ICE locator because parish and state systems do not cover those agencies.
