Kendall County Detention Center Overview
Kendall County Detention Center is operated by the Kendall County Sheriff's Office in Boerne. It is a county jail, not a state prison, so its public-facing custody information is tied to local booking, county charges, bond status, and transfer status. The facility is located at 8 Staudt St Box #7, Boerne, TX 78006, and the main detention phone number is 830-249-4989. The sheriff's office also publishes a 24-hour phone number, 830-249-9721, for broader sheriff's office contact.
The jail population includes local pretrial defendants, sentenced misdemeanants, pretrial felons, parole or blue-warrant holds, parole violators with new charges, convicted felons serving county jail time, TDCJ paper-ready inmates awaiting prison transfer, pretrial state-jail felons, convicted state-jail felons, and limited federal or contract holds when those people are booked locally. That mix matters because one person may appear on the county jail roster while another has already moved to a state or federal locator.
The sheriff's detention center information page identifies the jail as a 153-bed facility. The image below comes from that official detention-center information source.
Use that facility page for general jail context, but use the roster page and direct jail phone line when the question is about a specific inmate, charge, bond, or release time.
Kendall County Detention Center Capacity and Population
The Kendall County Detention Center has 153 beds. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards current population workbook for June 1, 2026 reported a total jail population of 94 people, which places the jail at 61.4 percent of rated capacity for that reporting date. The related TCJS incarceration-rate workbook reported an average daily population of 92, a countywide population of 51,828, and a rate of 1.78.
The June 1, 2026 population breakdown showed 9 male and 2 female pretrial Class A or B misdemeanants, 2 male and 2 female convicted misdemeanants, 34 male and 7 female pretrial felons, 2 male parole or blue-warrant holds, 1 male parole violator with a new charge, and 1 male convicted felon serving county jail time. It also counted 16 male and 3 female TDCJ-sentenced or paper-ready inmates, 9 male and 3 female pretrial state-jail felons, and 2 male and 1 female convicted state-jail felons sentenced to state jail time. Those categories explain why a person may still be in the county jail even after a sentence or transfer order has been entered.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Kendall County Detention Center
Start with the official current inmate roster. The sheriff's office also provides a roster selection page and a 48-hour release roster. The current roster is a browse list, and no name search field was located in the available roster interface. If the person was recently released, the 48-hour release roster may be the better starting point.
- Open the Kendall County Sheriff's Office current inmate roster or roster selection page.
- Browse the listed inmates and open the matching profile when you recognize the name or booking information.
- Review the profile for mugshot, booking number, age, gender, race, address city and state, arresting agency, booking date and time, charges, and bond.
- Call the jail at 830-249-4989 before relying on a bond amount, charge list, case number, or release status.
The roster is useful for confirming that someone is currently or recently listed in local custody, but it should not be treated as the final record for a criminal case. Court filings, bond orders, warrants, and transfer records can change after booking. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs public-information requests, Texas Government Code Chapter 511 covers jail standards and the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 17 controls bail, and Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 49 covers death-in-custody reporting.
If the person has been transferred to prison after a felony sentence, check the TDCJ inmate locator instead of the county roster. For federal or immigration custody, use the relevant BOP or ICE locator because county jail roster information will not necessarily follow someone after transfer.

Visiting Someone at Kendall County Detention Center
The Kendall County Sheriff's Office publishes visitation rules on its inmate visitation information page. Family and friends must show a valid government-issued picture ID with date of birth. The jail supports on-site and remote visitation, and visits are scheduled either on the kiosk in the jail visitation lobby or remotely. The public research did not capture a fixed day-by-day public time table, so visitors should schedule through the jail's system and confirm availability before traveling.
| Visit Type | Scheduling Method | Rules to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| On-site video visit | Use the kiosk in the jail visitation lobby | Valid government-issued picture ID with date of birth required |
| Remote video visit | Schedule remotely through the jail's current video system | Confirm account setup, availability, and current vendor terms |
| Attorney remote video or mail | Call 830-249-4989 Monday-Friday, 1 p.m.-4 p.m. | Schedule at least one day ahead for non-recorded attorney access |
Visits can be ended for inappropriate behavior or nudity, recording, criminal activity, inappropriate dress, or suspected intoxication. The research notes that the vendor changed to Encartele/Cidnet. The sheriff's visitation page also references JailATM and JailFunds for deposits or commissary, but exact current fees were not located in the source material provided for this build.
The image below is sourced from the sheriff's inmate visitation information and schedule page, which is the local reference point for Cidnet, JailATM, JailFunds, and posted visitation rules.
Attorney visitation follows a different process. Attorneys must present a bar card and photo ID. Attorney visits are generally allowed except 11 a.m.-1 p.m., 5 p.m.-7 p.m., shift change, meals, and emergencies. The attorney visitation page warns that Cidnet can auto-record by default, so non-recorded attorney remote video or mail should be scheduled by phone at least one day ahead.
Mail, Phone, and Money at Kendall County Detention Center
The sheriff's office maintains separate pages for inmate mail and mail rules and inmate personal property. Use those official pages before sending anything because jail mail and property rules can change without matching older copies elsewhere. The research provided for this page did not include a full mail-format rule set, a fee schedule, or exact property-release hours, so those details should be confirmed with the jail.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Use the sheriff's inmate mail rules page and confirm the current addressing format with 830-249-4989 before mailing. | |
| Phone / Video | Visitation research identifies Encartele/Cidnet as the current video or communications vendor context. |
| Money Deposit / Commissary | JailATM and JailFunds are referenced by the sheriff's visitation information, but exact fees were not located. |
| Property | Use the sheriff's inmate personal property page and confirm release requirements with detention staff. |
Bond payments have a separate rule set. The sheriff's bail bond information page says bond fees are money order only and payable to Kendall County. Bonds are not accepted from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. or from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Jail staff cannot recommend or contact a bondsman for the public.
Booking and Intake at Kendall County Detention Center
Booking at Kendall County Detention Center begins when a person is brought to the county jail by an arresting agency or otherwise accepted into local custody. The online inmate profile may show the arresting agency, booking date and time, charges, bond, mugshot, and basic identifying details. Those entries help families find the person quickly, but they do not replace court records, magistrate orders, or later jail records.
For a recent arrest, the practical sequence is to check the current roster, review the profile, then call 830-249-4989 for the correct bail amount, charges, and case numbers. For a person who no longer appears on the current roster, check the 48-hour release roster and then look at court or state custody systems as appropriate. A TDCJ paper-ready inmate may remain in the county jail while awaiting transfer, so the county roster and the state prison locator can overlap during transition periods.
About Kendall County Detention Center
Kendall County Detention Center serves the local jail role for Boerne and Kendall County. Its population is shaped by misdemeanor cases, felony pretrial cases, state-jail felony cases, parole holds, short county-jail sentences, and people waiting for state transfer. Because the jail is operated by the Kendall County Sheriff's Office, the sheriff's roster, visitation pages, bail bond information, mail rules, and property pages are the best local starting points for jail-specific questions.
Readers should separate jail custody from court case history and prison custody. The jail roster answers whether a person is listed in Kendall County jail custody or recent release. Court records answer what has been filed in a criminal case. TDCJ, BOP, and ICE tools answer transfer questions after a person leaves the county jail system.
Note: Confirm custody, bond, visitation scheduling, and release status with Kendall County Detention Center before traveling or sending funds.
