The court approved an interlocal agreement with Kerr County for contingent inmate housing at the Kerr County Detention Center and authorized the county judge to sign.
Comal County may send eligible inmates to Kerrville at $100 per person per day, while Comal pays transportation and nonroutine medical costs.
The Sept. 24 agenda placed the agreement before Commissioners Court as action item 12. The verified recording review establishes approval; the agreement supplies the operating and financial terms.
A fallback with limits
The agreement runs from Oct. 1, 2026, through Sept. 30, 2027, and renews for additional one-year periods unless either county gives notice or the parties change its terms.
Kerr County may accept inmates who are at least 17, in good general health and eligible under the agreement’s classification rules. Kerr’s sheriff retains authority to refuse an inmate or require Comal County to retake custody when capacity, classification, behavior, medical condition or safety creates a problem.
