Comal County Commissioners on Thursday accepted a deal to board excess Coryell County offenders inside the countyâs new lockup â putting additional pressure on federal authorities to finalize a similar arrangement before space runs out.
Sheriff Mark Reynolds said Coryell County Sheriff Scott Williams called last Thursday after the Texas Commission on Jail Standards ruled that Coryellâs 92-bed facility in Gatesville had exceeded inmate occupancy limits.
The countyâs new 582-bed facility was 61% full on Thursday. Inside were 71 of a possible 96 Hays County offenders and the first 10 from Coryell County, which hopes to send 40 more. Comal County is charging both counties $65 per inmate per day â which is $20 per diem above the average cost it paid to board overflow offenders in outside facilities.

THETFORD TOWNSHIP, MI It has been months since Thetford Township has had any officers in its police department, according to officials.
The last Thetford Township officer resigned around the end of October or early November, according to Thetford Township Supervisor Rachel Stanke.
It’s now up to the Thetford Township Board of Trustees, Stanke said, to determine the future of the department.
“The process would be that it gets brought to the board meeting, but there’s been some other things we’ve been trying to wrap up as well, so it hasn’t made it to the agenda yet,” Stanke said.
