Comal County posts its own jail list: open the county's Record Search, choose the jail records option, and search by last name (adding a first name narrows the list). A match shows the person's SO Number, booking date, charges and bond. Write the SO Number down, because letters to the Jonesboro scanning box and Access Corrections deposits both require it. The same portal also searches court records, so you can follow a case once a felony is filed at 150 North Seguin Avenue or a misdemeanor at the Landa Annex.
Someone picked up overnight shows in Record Search when deputies finish the booking entry; the Judge Magistrate sits at the jail each day from about 9:30 AM and has 48 hours under Texas law to set bail. Someone who bonded out drops off the jail list, so check the case record for the release. Families who want a text or email as soon as someone leaves the Comal jail can sign up at Texas IVSS-Counties at no cost. Comal defendants headed to prison leave the New Braunfels list when TDCJ takes them, and the TDCJ Inmate Search shows them after intake at a state unit.
The New Braunfels facility is rated for 583 beds; on September 1, 2026, the Texas Commission on Jail Standards counted 469 people there, local and contract holds together. Our full Comal County search page covers federal and ICE holds. Jail desk: 830-620-3450.

Use the SO Number from the jail record. The Sheriff's mail rules ask for it beside the person's full name, and publishers must also print it on the shipping label. When the number is missing from the record, the jail can read it to you at 830-620-3450.
The county describes its Record Search as covering jail and bond records. If a bond doesn't appear, call the jail at 830-620-3450 and ask for the Bonding Office.
Try the TDCJ offender search for state jail or prison transfers, the BOP inmate locator for anyone in federal custody, and the ICE detainee locator for immigration holds. Comal County houses some federal and out-of-county inmates under contract.
