Tennessee official directory

The TDOC offender-search page describes felony offenders currently or formerly in TDOC custody or supervision, including status values it names as incarcerated, probation, parole, or inactive. The FOIL home page says the information is about felony offenders who are or have been in TDOC custody, is submitted by various jurisdictions, and should be confirmed with the originating jurisdiction. The search form has name, TDOC ID, and state ID, plus a letter challenge. No name or number was submitted and the challenge was not solved. County jail is not established. See the sentence-information record.

• Not a trial-court case search.
• Not an official TBI background check. The FOIL page says that check is separate and fees apply.
• Not established as a county-jail roster.
• Letter challenge was not completed.

On 2026-10-07 the TDOC Inmate Visitation page under State Prisons said every visitor needs an approved application mailed to the assigned institution, applications should be approved or denied within 30 days, and no visitor is admitted until approved. Visitation is by appointment only; approved visitors contact the facility where the person is housed. Wardens set schedules that include Saturdays, Sundays, and one evening per week. The page lists facility-specific phone and mail contacts. It does not state county-jail visiting rules. A dated weekend cancellation banner for named facilities was visible and is not a standing statewide schedule.

• Not a county-jail visiting rule.
• Not a custody locator or FOIL search.
• Not VINELink notification.
• Facility phone hours and appointment paths differ by facility and must be read on that page.

The clerk directory at tncourts.gov/clerks has a county dropdown with 95 county names and clerk types that include circuit, criminal, general sessions, juvenile, probate, city, county, and clerk and master. The court-clerks explanation says circuit clerks are county employees and that in some counties they also serve as the general sessions clerk. It is a contact directory, not a statewide trial-court case search. A sentence on that page about 32 employees is the appellate clerk's office staff, not a judicial-district count. Clerk names and street addresses were not copied. No county was searched.

• Not a case-search portal.
• Not proof that a county has no online search.
• Appellate cases use public case history, not this directory.
• No name was submitted.

On 2026-10-01 the Secretary of State’s ballot page quoted that sentence as the current Article I, section 15 language a proposed amendment would delete. The same page says a proposed amendment passes only if the November 2026 vote meets both ballot tests, and otherwise the constitution remains unchanged. The proposal is not current law. State v. Burgins, filed April 7, 2015, holds that the constitution guarantees pretrial release on bail, that the right is not absolute, that it may be forfeited by subsequent criminal conduct, and that an evidentiary hearing is required before pretrial bail is revoked. Burgins does not set an hour limit or an amount, and it does not enact the 2026 proposal. No current statute or rule adding hours was verified.

• The November 2026 proposal is not applied.
• Burgins does not support an hour deadline or a dollar amount.
• Capital offenses, when the proof is evident or the presumption great, are the current constitutional exception.
• No Georgia or South Carolina deadline is used.

The Secretary of State lists a proposed Article I, section 15 amendment on the November 2026 ballot. The proposal would add exceptions beyond capital offenses. The page says the amendment becomes part of the constitution only if it receives more yes votes than no votes and the yes votes exceed half the votes in the governor’s race. On 2026-10-01 that election had not been held. This record exists so the proposal is not used as current bail law.

• Not current law on 2026-10-01.
• Do not apply the proposed offense list.
• Not a hearing-time rule.
