Lookup Kerr County Jail Inmates

Kerr County Jail Overview

Kerr County Jail is operated by the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Larry L. Leitha. It is the county jail for adult custody in Kerr County, not a state prison and not a federal detention center. People booked there may include local pretrial defendants, county-sentence inmates, bench-warrant inmates, parole or TDCJ-transfer holds, contract inmates from selected jurisdictions, and other jail categories that Texas county jails report to the Texas Commission on Jail Standards.

The official Kerr County Jail page says the current jail project began in 2016, added 17,885 square feet, and expanded the building from 192 beds to 328 beds. It also describes the jail as using 240 cameras and more than 40 correction officers. Jail Administrator Andrew Blizzard, Assistant Jail Administrator Matthew Jenkins, and Training Sergeant Brady Rosinbaum are identified by KCSO as jail leadership. Those details matter because Kerr County Jail is both a custody building and the local records source for many jail, bond, mail, visit, and inmate account questions.

The official jail page shown in the Kerr County Sheriff's Office jail source is the matching manifest image for this facility.

Those official jail sections support the lookup, visitation, mail, and deposit details used throughout the Kerr County Jail facility page.

Kerr County Jail Population

The adult Kerr County Jail population is reported through official county and state channels. KCSO gives the rated jail capacity as 328 beds, and the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports confirm the same rated capacity in the current population workbook. On June 1, 2026, the TCJS workbook reported 220 total inmates for Kerr County, which was 67.07 percent of rated capacity. That count was below capacity by the state reporting measure.

TCJS categories for Kerr County include local male and female pretrial inmates, convicted county-jail categories, state-jail felony pretrial inmates, parole-violator groups, people sentenced or ready for TDCJ movement, and contract inmates. The workbook does not explain why a person is held or predict release. It is a population report, not a live jail roster. For a named person, use the jail and bond record channel or call the jail clerk.

Kerr County Jail Inmate Lookup

The official online route for adult Kerr County Jail custody is the county's Tyler/Odyssey jail and bond records search. The research confirmed that Kerr County and KCSO link this URL for jail and bond records, but the search screen entered a redirect loop during inspection. Because the exact public search fields were not captured, the page should be used as the starting point without assuming that a specific field, photo, housing value, or booking-number search is visible.

1. Open the official Tyler/Odyssey jail and bond records search linked by Kerr County.
2. Search with the person's name or any identifier the portal accepts when the screen loads.
3. If the portal fails, call Kerr County Jail at 830-896-1257 and ask about custody, bond, or magistration status.
4. For booking records, jail records, incident records, or mugshots not shown online, use the KCSO Texas Public Information Act request process.
5. If the person was sentenced to state prison, switch to the TDCJ inmate search instead of the county jail search.

The Kerr County public records hub also links jail, bond, court, law-enforcement, and judicial record channels. It is useful when a custody question turns into a court-record or public-information request. Victim-notification tools are separate. KCSO links VINE, and Texas operates IVSS-Counties for booking, release, and custody-event notification where available.

Kerr County Jail Contact

Kerr County Jail questions often split by task. The jail phone is the practical fallback for custody, bond, and magistration status. The sheriff main line is better for general agency routing. Public information requests go through KCSO records channels, not the state prison system. The Magistrate Court page also directs callers to the jail clerk for bond amounts and whether a defendant has been magistrated.

Kerr County Jail Visitation

Visitation at Kerr County Jail is scheduled by phone, and the jail publishes separate visit days for male and female inmates. Visitors need a valid state driver's license or state identification card. A person under 17 must be with a guardian. Jail administration may stop or deny a visit for improper conduct, signs of alcohol or drug use, improper dress, or suspected contraband. Each inmate is limited to one one-hour visit or two 30-minute visits per week.

Magistration viewing is a separate local detail. The Kerr County Magistrate Court is inside the jail and says a person must be brought before a magistrate within 48 hours of arrest. The proceeding can be viewed from the jail visitation lobby by television screen, with the entrance on the right side of the building beside Justice of the Peace #2.

Note: Confirm custody and appointment status before traveling because release, transfer, discipline, court, or emergency conditions can change access.

Kerr County Jail Mail

Kerr County Jail inmate mail does not use the physical jail street address. KCSO news and the jail page give the current mail format as Inmate Name, SO#, Kerr County Jail, PO Box 591, Longview, TX 75606. The SO number matters because it routes the mail to the right person. A return address is required on the envelope. Books must come directly from a distributor or bookstore and must be soft cover only.

Kerr County Jail Commissary

KCSO says Kerr County Jail offers commissary and that orders are placed Tuesdays and received Thursdays. Indigent inmates receive hygiene items, paper, pen, envelopes, and stamps weekly. Account balances are given only to the inmate, and outside packages are not accepted. Money orders for commissary use a different address than inmate mail, so the two should not be mixed.

Kerr County Jail Bond Records

Bond status is tied closely to the jail and the Magistrate Court. At first appearance, the magistrate discusses charges, rights, bond amounts and types, added bond conditions, and attorney options. For bond amounts or whether a defendant has been magistrated, the official court page directs users to call Kerr County Jail at 830-896-1257 and speak with a clerk. The Magistrate Court page also says it cannot answer email inmate inquiries.

Cash bond, surety bond, personal recognizance, no-bond holds, and detainers can mean different release paths. A surety bond uses a licensed bail bond company, and Kerr County's bail bond board regulates surety companies that secure bail for someone in the county detention facility. A detainer or outside warrant can keep a person in custody even when a local bond amount appears. For court-case detail after an arrest, use Kerr County court records after jail arrest together with the jail record.

Kerr County Jail Records Requests

When the Tyler/Odyssey jail record is unavailable, incomplete, or older than the current portal view, KCSO public information channels become the fallback. The official KCSO resources page links public information request options, and the KCSO online public information request form is the web route for records requests. The PDF Texas Public Information Act form also lists requestor contact fields, a description of information requested, optional date range, copy or inspection preferences, redaction consent, and submission routes.

Those systems do not replace Kerr County Jail records for local arrest and bond questions.
