Kimble County Sheriff's Office Inmate Search

The Kimble County Sheriff's Office in Junction operates the county jail and maintains all inmate records. Junction sits at the confluence of the North and South Llano Rivers, and Kimble County covers a large stretch of the Edwards Plateau region. It is a low-population county, which means the jail typically holds a smaller number of inmates than urban facilities. Still, the same Texas laws govern records access here as anywhere else in the state.

To look up someone in the Kimble County inmate population, call (325) 446-2766. Have the full legal name of the person you are searching for. A date of birth helps narrow things down. Jail staff can tell you whether the person is in custody, what charges are on file, and whether a bond has been set. Some personal details, like home addresses and medical information, are protected and will not be shared over the phone.

The county's official website at co.kimble.tx.us does not include a live jail roster. It does list county contacts and department information. For the most current custody data, the phone is the primary tool.

Visitation at the Kimble County jail is subject to the Sheriff's Office rules. Contact the jail directly to ask about visit days, times, ID requirements, and who is allowed to visit. These policies can vary based on the inmate's charge and housing assignment.
