The Comanche County Inmate Population
The official detention map for Comanche County is simple, but the custody picture is not. The Comanche County Jail is the only jail facility found in official county sources, and it is operated by the Comanche County Sheriff's Office under Sheriff Chris Pounds. Municipal arrests from Comanche, De Leon, and other agencies may still pass through the same jail after booking. The county roster also shows people held for outside agencies, parole matters, emergency protective orders, and ICE detainers, so a person can be physically in Comanche County custody while another agency affects release.
Population statistics come from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards population reports, not from the person-by-person roster. TCJS counted 43 people in the Comanche County Jail on the June 1, 2026 current population row, while the inspected county roster was printed June 29, 2026 at 08:18. That difference matters. TCJS is best for capacity, average daily population, and trend review. The roster is best for current names, charges, bonds, holds, cells, and court status.
Comanche County Inmate Population Statistics
Comanche County's June 2026 jail count was well below rated capacity. The TCJS current population workbook listed 145 beds and 43 total inmates on June 1, 2026, or about 29.7 percent of capacity. The separate TCJS incarceration-rate workbook used a countywide population of 14,359 and an average daily population of 37 for the same date. Annual bookings and average length of stay were not located in the county or TCJS sources reviewed, so they should not be guessed from the roster.

Who Is in Comanche County Jail
The latest TCJS category breakdown shows a mostly local pretrial population, with felony detainees forming the largest group. The public roster supports the same broad picture. It uses terms such as UNFILED, UNINDICTED, District Court, County Court, Justice of the Peace, COMANCHE MUNICIPAL, Parole Board, and Out of County. It also shows classification and housing terms, including Minimum, Medium, Maximum, cells, dorms, and separation shorthand.
| June 1, 2026 TCJS Category | Count |
|---|---|
| Local male pretrial felons | 17 |
| Local female pretrial felons | 5 |
| Local male pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants | 6 |
| Local female pretrial Class A/B misdemeanants | 2 |
| Local male pretrial state jail felons | 5 |
| Local female pretrial state jail felons | 1 |
| Bench warrants, parole, and TDCJ-sentenced transfer categories | 7 combined |
Comanche County did not have a federal inmate count in the latest TCJS row, but the roster can still show ICE detainers. An ICE detainer is a hold or request from immigration authorities. It is not proof that an ICE detention center is located in the county. No separate ICE facility, state prison, or BOP prison was found in official Comanche County sources.
Laws Governing Comanche County Jail Data
Texas law controls both public access and jail oversight. The Texas Public Information Act is the fallback path for jail records not posted online, while law-enforcement exceptions can limit release of full investigative material. Texas Government Code Chapter 511 creates the Texas Commission on Jail Standards, the agency that collects county jail population data and oversees minimum standards. Texas Local Government Code Chapter 351 addresses county jail and sheriff responsibilities.
Key Texas rules: Government Code Chapter 552 supports public-information requests; Government Code Chapter 511 ties county jails to TCJS standards and reporting; Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17 requires prompt magistration after arrest; Chapter 17 governs bail; Article 49.18 covers death-in-custody reporting.
Search the Comanche County Inmate Population
The current Comanche County inmate population is searched through a PDF, not a web database. The county jail page links the Latest Jail Roster PDF. It is free and does not require a login. The inspected report was titled "Comanche County Jail" and "Charge Roster - Type 3." Since the roster is static, the practical search tool is the browser or PDF viewer find box.
- Open the county jail page and select the Latest Jail Roster PDF.
- Use the PDF viewer search for a last name, first name, ID number, charge word, court, or arresting agency.
- Read the person header first for classification, cell, age, sex, days in custody, attorney, and hold information.
- Read each charge block for booking date, arrest date, docket or court line, bond type, amount, and arresting agency.
- If the person is not listed, call the jail, check court records, or use TDCJ, BOP, ICE ODLS, and VINELink based on custody type.
Comanche County Roster Search Fields
The roster has no county search form, no dropdowns, no reset button, and no public account system. That limitation is important because it changes how a user should search. It also means a missing name is not final proof that the person is free or was never booked. The PDF may have been refreshed after inspection, a name may be spelled differently, or the person may be in another custody system.
| Field or Tool | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Latest Jail Roster PDF | PDF link | No form | Static public report from the county jail page |
| PDF find/search | Viewer search | Optional | Search by name, charge, agency, docket, or ID number |
| Print timestamp | Report metadata | Not user input | Inspected copy printed June 29, 2026 at 08:18 |
| Buttons | None | Not applicable | No county Search, Reset, Advanced Search, export, or login controls found |
Comanche County Inmate Record Fields
A Comanche County inmate record on the public roster is field-rich but text-only. The inspected roster did not show mugshot images, dates of birth, home addresses, height, weight, projected release dates, or medical details. It did show the facts most readers need to identify a current booking and understand why release may be delayed.
| Roster Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Name and ID number | Full name in roster order and a local numeric booking or jail ID |
| Class and cell | Minimum, Medium, or Maximum classification plus dorm, cell, or separation shorthand |
| Days in, age, sex, R/E | Custody length and basic demographic shorthand published by the report |
| Hold information | ICE detainer, out-of-county hold, EPO, parole, or other listed hold |
| Charge and court line | Charge text, offense type, docket number, court, UNFILED, or UNINDICTED status |
| Bond information | Surety, PR bond, no bond, sentenced status, amount, and active bond language |
County Jail, TDCJ, BOP, and ICE
A county jail roster and a state prison locator answer different questions. Comanche County Jail covers local custody before trial, local misdemeanor sentences, warrant arrests, and some people waiting on transfer. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate search covers sentenced state prisoners. The BOP Inmate Locator covers federal sentenced custody. ICE ODLS covers immigration detention after a person is in ICE custody.
| Custody Type | Where to Look | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Current local jail custody | Comanche County roster PDF | Pretrial, local sentence, warrant, hold, and transfer-wait cases |
| Sentenced Texas prison custody | TDCJ locator | County roster may stop helping after transfer |
| Federal sentenced custody | BOP locator | BOP has no county-style mugshot roster |
| Immigration custody | ICE ODLS | An ICE detainer in jail is not the same as ICE custody after transfer |
| Status notifications | VINELink | Notification-oriented custody updates when agency data is available |
Comanche County Booking to Court
The Comanche County inmate population changes as cases move from arrest to booking, magistration, bond, prosecutor review, and clerk filing. The roster may show UNFILED or UNINDICTED before a formal case appears in a court index. Once a district-court case exists, the Comanche County District Clerk is the official channel for certified district-court copies and the Tyler Odyssey portal link. The District Clerk instructions list $1 per page and give mail and in-person request routes.
County-level court geography is separate from jail geography. The jail and sheriff complex are on Industrial Blvd. District Clerk record requests by mail go to P.O. Box 206, Comanche, TX 76442, and in-person district-court record requests use the courthouse address at 101 W Central. The County Clerk posts criminal docket PDFs and archives that can help with court-date context, while the Justice of the Peace and municipal channels may matter for lower-court warrants or Class C matters.
Comanche County Detention Facility
Official county sources identify one local detention facility: Comanche County Jail. It sits at 300 Industrial Blvd in Comanche and shares the sheriff complex address. The jail is the lookup hub for people booked by the sheriff, Comanche Police Department, other local agencies, and outside agencies when they are held locally. The county site did not identify a separate annex, work-release center, municipal jail with a public roster, state prison, BOP prison, or ICE detention center inside Comanche County.
- Comanche County Jail - sheriff-operated county jail for pretrial detainees, local sentence custody, bench warrants, parole holds, TDCJ-transfer waits, and local ICE detainers when held in county custody.
The official jail page is also the source for visitation files and the Lone Star/Tiger commissary link. Before visiting or sending money, check the county source and call the jail if timing or rules are unclear.
Comanche County Jail Source Pages
The county's official jail page is the starting point for the roster PDF, visitation files, commissary link, and jail contact block.
The screenshot matters because it shows the roster and jail-service links grouped on a county-run page, not on a third-party inmate-search site.
The TCJS population reports page is the official state source for jail capacity, monthly count, and incarceration-rate workbook links.
Use TCJS for the population count and trend tables, then use the county roster for current person-level jail information.
