About the Comal County Jail

The new Comal County Jail, which opened in August 2020, is a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet the growing needs of the county. With an initial capacity of 582 housing beds, it has the potential for expansion to nearly 1,000 beds, allowing Comal County to house additional inmates from outside the county. The facility features a pod-design concept, with inmates supervised from a second floor, providing enhanced safety for jail staff. You can reach them 24 hours a day by calling 830-620-3450, and you can look up an inmate and bond, or their court information by going to the Inmate Search - Jail Records page.

The jail is divided into seven sections, with the first floor covering 155,000 square feet and the inclusion of second-floor security areas bringing the total to 187,107 square feet. The building is constructed with quarried limestone, creating an inviting façade that leads visitors into the lobby area. The facility includes administrative offices, support staff facilities, booking areas, medical and mental health units, infirmaries, a larger kitchen for future expansion, laundry facilities, and specialized housing for special-needs and classified inmates.

The Comal County Sheriff's Office Corrections Emergency Response Team (C.E.R.T.) plays a crucial role in the jail's operations. This specialized team consists of a Commander, Team Leader, Assistant Team Leader, and twenty Detention Officers who receive extensive training in high-risk incidents, emergency medical situations, less lethal devices, riot control, defensive tactics, and other specialized areas. C.E.R.T. members undergo monthly training to effectively respond to various incidents that may arise within the jail, ensuring the safety of both staff and inmates.

Mail can be received every day and is processed and passed to the inmates quickly. Friends and family of inmates in the Comal County Jail can arrange to visit inmates by video, both at the jail and remotely from home. They can also send them money and buy them commissary online, and set up a phone account that allows the inmates to call them during the day and evening seven days a week.

All the information on these inmate services can be found in the sections below.  If you still have questions, you can phone the jail 24 hours a day by calling 830-620-3450.

Recent Bookings & Arrests

How do I find out if someone has been arrested and booked into the Comal County Jail?

To find out if someone you know has been recently arrested and booked into the Comal County Jail, call the jail’s booking line at 830-620-3450.

There may be an automated method of looking them up by their name over the phone, or you may be directed to speak to someone at the jail. Sometimes the jail staff may ask you the offender’s date of birth to ensure privacy of the offender’s status.

Keep in mind that after an arrest, the information on an offender may not be publicly available for several hours.

If you don’t want to check up on an offender by calling the jail, you can also try looking up people recently booked online.

Comal County Jail Booking Roster

What happens during booking in Comal County?

After being arrested and taken into custody, and after being read their Miranda Rights, an offender will next be transported to the local police or department or the Sheriff’s Department in Comal County for booking.

Booking is very involved and requires multiple steps in the process, however, keep in mind that most attorneys will advise that an offender remain silent and not offer any additional information about the crime they have been arrested for because anything they do say may be recorded and may very well be used against them in court.

What is the booking process like at the Comal County Jail?

Booking includes having their photo (mugshot) and fingerprints taken, as well as being asked a lot of questions about their personal history and state of mind. If it’s a serious felony, their DNA may also be taken. They will also be checked for warrants in Comal County and other Texas and USA jurisdictions.

If the offender was arrested for a DUI offense, and has refused a breathalyzer test, they may also be forced to have blood drawn by a doctor or nurse.

It is also very likely that the offender will undergo a humiliating full body search while in the nude. This includes bending over, spreading their cheeks in the direction of an officer, and coughing. They will also be walked through a metal detector or x-ray machine, like those used at an airport.

What kind of questions are asked during booking?

The arresting jurisdiction will ask about gang affiliations, tattoos, medical conditions, prescribed medication they are taking, recreational drugs they are on or addicted to, allergies, if they are suicidal, and other relevant information that will help with determining their cell assignment and special needs.

What happens to an offender’s personal property during booking?

During the arrest and booking process an offender will also have all their personal property confiscated and held for either their release from jail, or with the offender’s approval, released to a friend or family member.

Personal property includes the clothing they are wearing, money, wallets, purses, cell phones, jewelry, body rings, earrings, watches, and even glasses if they are deemed a security risk. If they are allowed to keep their shoes or sneakers, the laces are removed.

What happens after booking?

At this point the offender will be allowed to make a free phone call to a person of their choice to notify them of their arrest, and/or arrange a bond or bail for their release.

If the offender is being detained and housed while awaiting arraignment, the Comal County Jail will provide a jail garment and slip-on shoes, a blanket, sheets, soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, and a towel.

Often, before they are dressed in the jail outfit and brought to their housing location, they will be forced to take a shower and undergo a disinfectant treatment for body and hair lice, scabies or other pests that may be residing on their person.

How long does the Comal County Jail Booking process take?

Booking can take anywhere from an hour to 24 hours or more. It all depends on the number of people that are awaiting processing, the number of staff on duty at the time, and the behavior of the offender.

If the offender is heavily intoxicated and/or violent, the Booking Officer may decide to stick the offender in a holding cell for several hours until they become more manageable.

Inmate Bail and Bonding

The Comal County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Comal County.

  • You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Comal County, or in some cases the state of Texas, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Comal County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
  • The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.

Call 830-620-3450 to find out the exact bond (plus other fees) amount, or look it up online by looking up the information on the Comal County inmate locator.

Comal County Bail Bond Information

Because Comal County and Texas can change their bail bond procedures, it is always best to call either the Comal County Jail at 830-620-3450, or the court in the jurisdiction (i.e. Municipal Court, District Court, etc.) where the offender was charged, and do this right after an arrestee has been booked. 

Ask the staff at the Comal County Jail or the Comal County Court Clerk these specific questions:

  1. Is the defendant eligible for bail or a bond?
  2. How much will the bail or bond be, and what are the additional fees?
  3. Where do I go to pay it?
  4. Are there any days or times of the day or night when I cannot post bail?
  5. What types of payment are allowed? Cash? Money order? Credit card? What types of credit cards? Property or other collateral? Surety bonds?
  6. Do I have to use a bail or bond agent?

If you feel the bail is too high and you wish to get it reduced, contact a lawyer or the defendant's public defender and get them to look into what they can do to get a bail reduction. The sooner you get working on this the quicker you will get your loved one released. 

This entire process will go smoother and faster with a criminal attorney or bail agent handling it for you.
