Kendall County Inmate Population Snapshot
Kendall County's local jail population is centered on the Kendall County Detention Center in Boerne. The facility is operated by the Kendall County Sheriff's Office and is the only official county detention facility found in the research set. Boerne Police Department, Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department, DPS, and other agencies may make arrests in the county, but people who remain in local custody are routed into the county jail system rather than a separate city jail roster.
The count changes as arrests, releases, bond decisions, court settings, and TDCJ transfers occur. The county roster is a current custody tool, while the population workbooks published by the Texas Commission on Jail Standards provide the public statistical view. Those sources count local pretrial defendants, convicted misdemeanants, pretrial felons, parole or blue-warrant holds, state-jail-felony categories, and people already sentenced to TDCJ but still waiting for transfer.

Kendall County Jail Data Laws
Texas law shapes both the roster and the population reports. The sheriff's roster is a local custody record, while statewide jail-capacity reports come from the jail standards system. Public access is not unlimited. Active investigations, juvenile records, medical details, sealed records, expunged records, and confidential identifiers may be withheld or redacted under Texas law.
Key Statutes:
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 gives the public a way to request government records unless a legal exception applies.
Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates the Texas Commission on Jail Standards and the jail inspection and reporting framework.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 governs bail, release conditions, and bond practices in criminal cases.
Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 49 includes death-in-custody reporting provisions tied to jail transparency.
Search Kendall County Inmate Population
The person-by-person lookup path starts with the sheriff's roster selection page, which links to the current inmate roster and the 48-hour release roster. The current roster inspected for the research file showed a public browse list rather than a search form. Each person links to a profile page with booking and bond fields.
- Open the sheriff roster selection page and choose Current Inmates for people still in jail.
- Browse the list, or use the browser find command for a last name because no roster name field was located.
- Open the profile link to review the mugshot, booking number, booking time, charges, and bond line.
- Use the 48-hour release roster if the person was recently released from Kendall County custody.
- Call the detention center before posting bond because the sheriff profile warns that charges and bail may change after court.
Kendall County Roster Lookup Fields
The Kendall County roster is different from many vendor portals because the public source found in research does not provide a last-name search box. It functions as a browse list with profile links. That local detail matters when a common name is involved or when a person has just been released.
| Field Label | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current roster list | Browse/list | n/a | Current inmates display as roster entries. |
| Inmate profile link | Link | n/a | Opens a `roster_view.php?booking_num=` profile. |
| 48-hour release roster | Browse/list | n/a | Separate recent-release page. |
| Search button | None located | n/a | No inmate-specific public search button was located. |
The Kendall County current inmate roster is the official public page for people still in local custody.
The roster count is a custody snapshot, not the same thing as a court docket or a final criminal-history record.

Kendall County Jail or TDCJ
Local jail custody and state prison custody are separate systems. A person arrested in Kendall County may appear on the sheriff roster while pretrial, serving a local sentence, or waiting for transfer. After felony sentencing and transfer, the correct source is the TDCJ Inmate Search, not the county jail roster.
| Question | Kendall County Jail | Texas Department of Criminal Justice |
|---|---|---|
| Who is covered? | Local pretrial defendants, misdemeanants, local holds, and some transfer-ready inmates. | Sentenced Texas prisoners after state transfer. |
| Main lookup | Sheriff current roster and 48-hour release roster. | TDCJ statewide inmate search. |
| Photo or bond? | Profile may show a mugshot and bond line. | TDCJ profiles focus on prison identity, unit, and sentence data. |
Kendall County Federal Custody Search
Federal and immigration custody can touch a Kendall County arrest, but it is not covered by a county-only roster once the person is outside the jail.

VINELink can be used for custody notifications where participating data is available.
- Pretrial
- Custody before final conviction or sentence.

- A hold request from another agency.
- Blue warrant
- A Texas parole warrant or hold.
- Expunction
- A court process that can remove qualifying arrest records.
