For Kerr County jail records, use the Sheriff for county-jail custody and jail-side records, save the lookup date and strongest identifier, and use the District Clerk/court record for the criminal case and final disposition.
Kerr County Sheriff administers the county jail, so custody starts there
Kerr County Sheriff states that the office administers the county jail. That makes the Sheriff the first record owner when the question is county detention, jail administration, or a jail-side record tied to a booking. Keep the date of the lookup and any inmate or booking detail with the result because custody can change after release, transfer, or a court order.
Kerr County District Clerk is the separate court-record route. Once the question becomes the filed criminal case, pleadings, or disposition, switch to the clerk/court layer instead of extending the jail record beyond its purpose. The detention episode and the prosecution can move on different timelines.
