Scheduling Your First Visit at Kerr County Jail: Days, Phone Windows, IDs, and Kids
Visiting someone at Kerr County Jail is appointment-only, and the scheduling phone lines run on a tight timetable. Here's how to plan your call, pick the right visiting day, and avoid the most common reasons people get turned away.
Kerr County Jail only takes scheduling calls on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Miss those days? You'll have to wait until the next one rolls around.
Timing matters too. The jail answers scheduling calls during two windows: 8:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.–4:00 p.m. Call outside those hours and you won't get through.
To schedule a visit, call the dedicated line: (830) 315-2480. For general questions, use the main number instead: (830) 896-1257.
Note: The jail lists these scheduling days and windows as
Visiting a male inmate? Visitation runs Friday and Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Kids can come on both days, as long as they meet the guardian requirement below.
For female inmates, visitation is Sunday only, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Children are welcome, but anyone under 17 needs a guardian present.
You get one 1-hour visit per week or two 30-minute visits - your choice. Think about what works better for you before you call to schedule.
ID Minors Conduct
- ✓ Bring a valid state driver’s license or a state identification card.
Bringing kids? Anyone under 17 must be accompanied by a guardian. No exceptions - if a minor shows up without one, the visit won't happen.
Warning: Visitors who show indications of alcohol or drug use will not be allowed visitation. Don’t risk the trip - arrive sober and alert.
Even with an appointment, staff can turn you away for improper dress or suspected contraband. This is one of the biggest reasons first-time visitors get denied. Keep your outfit simple and leave unnecessary items at home.
- ✓ Dress conservatively so you’re not flagged as “improperly dressed.”
- ✓ Leave extra items at home so there’s no concern about contraband.
- ✓ Bring your valid state driver’s license or state ID card.
