Boerne, Texas, in Kendall County, has about 23,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Kendall County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Boerne
The FBI lists Boerne with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Boerne Police Department. It reported 528 arrests for 2023, its latest complete year. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Kendall County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 377 arrests for 2024.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Kendall County: the Kendall County Constable's Precincts 4, 3, 2 and 1 (other).
How Many Arrests Boerne Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Boerne: 528 for 2023, 590 for 2022, 531 for 2021, 475 for 2020 and 632 for 2019.
Boerne's 528 arrests in 2023 were down 11 percent from 590 in 2022.
Across Kendall County, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2023 on file reported 795 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Boerne Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Boerne and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 79 people on an average day, down from about 82 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 153 beds, and it is running at 52 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice lists its inmates at inmate.tdcj.texas.gov/InmateSearch/start.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Boerne
Whether someone was arrested in Boerne, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Kendall County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at kendallcountytx.gov/QuickLinks.aspx?CID=59); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at co.kendall.tx.us/191/Criminal-District-Attorney, phone 830-249-9343).
Texas is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: the Conviction Database search lets anyone look up convictions and deferred adjudications by name, for $3 a search, through the Texas Department of Public Safety. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Boerne
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Texas Public Information Act the agency must answer within 10 business days, and it may charge the copy rates set by the Attorney General, plus labor for large requests.
