What Kerr County Booking Records Contain
When someone is arrested and booked into the Kerr County Jail, a booking record is created. That record is public under the Texas Public Information Act. Kerr County booking releases typically include the person's full name, date of birth, physical description, charges filed, bond amount, arresting agency, and the date and time of intake. Release information is added once the person leaves custody.
The Kerr County Jail accepts inmates from the Sheriff's Office, Kerrville Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies operating in the county. Charges range from Class A misdemeanors through first-degree felonies. Bond information is listed per charge and may include cash bond, surety bond, or no-bond holds for certain offenses.
Some records are not public. Juvenile records, materials from active investigations, sealed court orders, and victim information are all exempt from disclosure under state law. A booking record reflects an arrest, not a conviction. Many people booked into the Kerr County Jail are later released on bond, have charges reduced or dismissed, or are found not guilty at trial.
