Kerr County, Texas, has about 54,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Kerr County Sheriff's Office, two city agencies and six other agencies. An arrest 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 Kerr County District Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Kerr County
The Kerr County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Kerr County. It reported 434 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside two of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Kerrville, 25,141 residents: 611 arrests reported for 2025.
- Ingram, 1,849 residents: 89 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Kerr County: the Kerr County Constable's Precincts 1, 2, 4 and 3, the Centerpoint Independent School District and the Ingram Independent School District (other).
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Kerr County
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them 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.
- Kerrville: 611 for 2025, 694 for 2022, 1,094 for 2021, 1,094 for 2020 and 1,471 for 2019; 2023 and 2024 are missing months.
- Kerr County Sheriff's Office: 434 for 2025, 409 for 2024, 361 for 2023 and 812 for 2020; 2021 and 2022 are missing months.
- Ingram: 89 for 2025, 17 for 2024, 41 for 2022, 69 for 2021, 40 for 2020 and 52 for 2019; 2023 is missing months.
Together, the three agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,134 arrests that year. The two of them with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 523 in 2025 against 426 in 2024, up 23 percent.
Through July 2026, the three agencies with every month so far on file reported 781 arrests, against 612 in the same months of 2025.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Kerr County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Kerr County is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 230 people on an average day, up from about 210 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 328 beds, and it is running at 70 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Kerr County
Whether someone was arrested in Kerr County, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the case index of the Kerr County District Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at kerrcountytx.gov/kerr-county-all-departments/kerr-county-clerk, phone 830-792-2255); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at kerrcountytx.gov/kerr-county-all-departments/216th-district-attorne..., phone 830-896-4744).
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 Kerr County
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. 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.
