Sherriff Bill Waybourn and the Tarrant County Jail
In Custody Deaths during the Tenure of Bill Waybourn
Since elected in 2017, the Tarrant County Jail has had 69 deaths through December 31, 2024 under the supervision of Bill Waybourn.
There were 9 deaths in 2024 with just under 5000 inmates. Harris County, with double the inmate population, had the same number of deaths in 2024.
It is the family's opinion that Sherriff Waybourn is incompetent to continue as Sherriff of Tarrant County and must be removed. Either with the Tarrant County Commissioners Court or by the family, the Sherriff will be removed under Chapter 87 of the Texas Local Government Code.
