Quay County 72-Hour Release Finding
No official Quay County rolling 72-hour release view was found. This result was checked separately from the same-day search. The official detention page supplies contact and operating information, but it has no roster, release tab, three-day archive, booking-photo feed, or update schedule.
Waiting three days does not cause a public list to appear. Instead, the three-day period should become the exact date range in a detention-record request. It should also guide a chronological review of each relevant court case. A wider interval can catch several days of events, yet another agency may have taken custody at the end.
Check Quay County Three-Day Releases
Begin by defining the calendar interval. List the starting and ending dates, and ask the detention custodian how its system handles the local midnight boundary if that detail matters. A rolling seventy-two-hour period and three named calendar dates are not always the same. Quay County publishes neither definition online.
- Identify the full name, known spelling variants, date of birth if known, arresting agency, booking date, and case or booking number.
- Call Quay County Detention Center at (575) 461-4664 and ask whether county custody remains active.
- If custody ended, ask whether the person entered the community or was transferred and request the receiving agency’s name.
- Search every relevant New Mexico court case for bond, release, dismissal, sentence, warrant, or probation entries across the interval.
- Submit a written IPRA request for the existing booking and release or custody transactions within the stated dates.
- Search NMCD, BOP, ICE, or the federal docket only when the record points to that receiving system.
Do not stop with the first matching case. One person can have more than one matter, and an order in one case may coexist with a hold in another. Compare case numbers, charges, dates, and identifiers. For the narrower same-day procedure, use the Quay County 24-Hour Release List path.
Quay County 72-Hour Record Fields
Because there is no official release list, no online field inventory can be reported. The following items belong in a records request. They are proposed descriptions of useful existing data, not claims that Quay County uses these exact labels or that every item is public.
| Requested field | Three-day use |
|---|---|
| Full name and booking number | Separates the correct admission from other records. |
| Admission date/time | Places the booking before the requested release span. |
| Release or transfer date/time | Tests whether the event falls inside the chosen interval. |
| Release type or reason | Preserves the county’s recorded status language. |
| Releasing authority or order | Connects the transaction to the legal basis. |
| Receiving agency | Shows whether county custody ended by transfer. |
Ask for the booking sheet, release sheet, custody-status history, or equivalent existing record. The custodian may redact protected material, deny an exempt item, or explain that no responsive field exists. IPRA concerns existing public records and does not require the county to create an analysis.
Note: Request the exact recorded date and time rather than asking the county to calculate a rolling window.
Quay County Weekend Release Chronology
A three-day inquiry is useful around weekends and holidays because court action, jail processing, and records-office access can occur on different schedules. The detention page posts public office hours on weekdays and excludes holidays. Those hours are not release-processing hours, and they do not prove when a person physically left.
Build the sequence from source records. A court docket may show a bond or dismissal event. The filed order gives its terms. The jail transaction supplies the physical release or transfer time. If another system received the person, its record continues the chronology. This approach works even when no public feed exists.
A holiday can also delay a request response or clerk contact without changing the underlying event date. Keep the event date, filing date, and verification date separate. Never substitute the day a record became available for the day custody ended.
When the three-day span crosses a month or year boundary, state both dates in full. Ask whether the requested interval refers to recorded release time or another transaction time. If the response contains several events, sort them by booking number before comparing court entries. This avoids merging a new booking with an older release for the same person.
Quay County Court Release Timeline
The New Mexico Courts Case Lookup is the durable online starting point. Quay County belongs to the Tenth Judicial District structure. Search by party, then narrow by court, case number, and date. Read entries in order: complaint, first appearance, release conditions or bond, later orders, plea or disposition, judgment, probation, warrant, and discharge.
A docket label can be brief. Obtain the filed document from the clerk when its terms matter. An order authorizing release does not establish the exact minute that detention processing ended. A dismissal in one case also does not rule out another case or hold. Pair the court file with the custody transaction.
Does “case closed” mean released? No. It describes a court-file status, not a universal custody result. Another case, sentence, transfer, or agency can still control custody.
Request Quay County Release Transactions
Start with Quay County Detention Center at 223 West High Street, Tucumcari, NM 88401. The public number is (575) 461-4664. Posted office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m., excluding holidays. The page does not guarantee telephone disclosure and does not publish a detention-specific request form, email address, portal, or fee schedule.
A focused request should identify the person and the three-day interval. Ask for the booking and release or custody-transaction record, release or transfer date and time, type or reason, authority, bond entry, and receiving agency. Request electronic production when available. Ask for an advance estimate because no Quay County detention copying fee was found.
Do not ask the custodian to prepare a custom list or decide what an event means. IPRA concerns existing records. A request can seek all responsive release transactions for a precise interval, but the agency may ask for clarification if the scope is broad. If any part is withheld, request the legal basis and the public portion that can be separated from protected material. Avoid unnecessary sensitive identifiers.
The NMDOJ IPRA guide describes prompt handling and the response framework. If inspection is not made at once or as soon as practical, a written response is generally required within three business days. Production is generally due within fifteen calendar days unless a broad or burdensome request follows the statutory process. Those rules do not turn three days of releases into an instant report.
Quay County Release Transfer Checks
A county departure can lead to NMCD prison, probation or parole, another jail, BOP, ICE, or USMS custody. Use the receiving agency named in the transaction. NMCD expressly has no jurisdiction over county and city jails, so its offender search cannot replace the Quay County record. It becomes relevant after state commitment or for NMCD supervision.
| Possible destination | Next source | Critical distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Community release | Jail transaction and court order | No receiving custodian recorded |
| NMCD | NMCD offender search and institution | State custody or supervision |
| Federal prison | BOP Inmate Locator | BOP status only |
| ICE | ICE Online Detainee Locator | Civil immigration custody |
| USMS | Federal docket or District of New Mexico | No general public USMS locator |
VINE may offer a custody event or alert when the person and agency participate. A missing result does not prove release, and county participation was not established through an official county-by-county table. For one person across all these paths, the Quay County released inmate search explains the full source hierarchy.
Search spelling variants and compare non-name identifiers before choosing a state or federal result. NMCD asks users to allow time for prison data updates and warns that a disappeared result may reflect technical trouble. A BOP release date covers BOP custody only. An ICE result covers immigration detention only. None of those sources can recreate the Quay County jail transaction.
No Quay County Three-Day Roster
No defensible online retention period exists because Quay County has no official web roster or recent-release archive. There is no basis for saying a released name stays visible for a day, three days, or any other span. The county also publishes no feed fields, cadence, photo flag, or official detention app.
Record retention is separate. The detention center may retain custody transactions even though it never exposes them online. Ask the custodian for the applicable retention schedule if an older event matters. A narrow IPRA request can seek the record for a known person and interval without pretending a public three-day list exists.
Note: A wider date range improves record coverage, but it never resolves transfer ambiguity without the destination field.
