Kendall County Sex Offenders

Kendall County is part of the San Antonio metropolitan area, and as the county's population has grown, so has the importance of knowing who is registered as a sex offender in your community. The Kendall County Sheriff's Office handles sex offender registration for residents in unincorporated areas, while the Boerne Police Department covers registration within the city of Boerne. The Texas DPS public sex offender registry consolidates all Kendall County registration records and makes them searchable online at no cost.

Kendall County Sheriff Registration

The Kendall County Sheriff's Office is located at 109 E. San Antonio Ave, Boerne, Texas 78006. The sheriff's office processes sex offender registrations for all residents living outside incorporated city or town limits. That includes the many ranch properties, rural subdivisions, and unincorporated communities throughout the Hill Country portions of Kendall County.

Offenders who live inside Boerne city limits register with the Boerne Police Department instead. Anyone who is unsure which agency covers their address should call the Sheriff's Office at the courthouse. The key thing is to register at the correct agency within seven days of establishing a new address. Registering at the wrong agency is not the same as registering at all, and it can lead to a failure-to-register charge even if you made a good-faith effort to comply.

When you come to register, bring a valid government-issued photo ID, documentation of your current address (such as a lease or utility bill), and any paperwork related to your conviction or supervision if applicable. The office will take your photo and fingerprints and submit the data to the Texas DPS.

Registration Requirements Under Chapter 62

Texas law governing sex offender registration is found in Chapter 62 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The law applies uniformly across all Texas counties and sets out the full scope of registration obligations. It covers who must register, what information must be provided, how often verification is required, and what penalties apply for noncompliance.

The seven-day registration window is among the most important requirements. An offender who moves to a new address must register within seven days, regardless of whether they are moving within the same city, to a new city, or from out of state. The verification schedule is annual for most registrants, but offenders classified at higher risk levels must verify every 90 days. Some offenders must register for life, while others are subject to a ten-year registration period. These distinctions depend on the nature of the offense and the offender's history.

• Register within 7 days of any address change in Texas
• Report in person to the law enforcement agency for your location
• Provide photo ID, current address proof, and offense documentation
• Verify annually or quarterly depending on risk classification
• Disclose all addresses, including temporary and secondary residences
• Report employment and school information as required

Kendall County Court Records

The Kendall County District Clerk maintains criminal court records for felony cases, including sex offenses. The clerk's office is at the Kendall County Courthouse, 201 E. San Antonio Ave, Boerne, TX 78006. These records are public and can be reviewed in person or requested by mail. Court records show the charge, the outcome, the sentence, and any registration order issued by the court.

Court records and the DPS registry tell you different things. The registry gives you a current snapshot of where a person is registered today. Court records tell you the full legal history going back to the original charge. If you are doing a thorough review of someone's background, checking both sources makes sense. The Texas Attorney General can also provide additional victim-related information and resources for Kendall County residents.

Local and Statewide Resources

Kendall County residents looking for more information about sex offender registration and community safety can reach the Kendall County Sheriff's Office directly.

Texas participates in the national database and all Texas registrations are visible there.

The Texas DPS also maintains a program information page at dps.texas.gov that explains the registration program, how to interpret results, and how to report concerns about a non-compliant offender. If you believe a registered sex offender in Kendall County is not complying with their registration requirements, contact the Kendall County Sheriff's Office or the DPS Crime Records Service to report it.
