Comal County Sheriff's Office
A message from Sheriff Mark Reynolds
We are truly fortunate to live, work, and serve in Comal County. We are blessed with our scenic Texas hill country with its gentle rolling hills, views you can see for miles, a rich German heritage, the Comal and Guadalupe Rivers, and Canyon Lake. Prince Carl of Solms, Germany founded New Braunfels in 1845. A hidden gem in the heart of Texas. Prince Carl had vision. Just over a year later, on March 24, 1846, Comal County was created after Texas was admitted to the United States as the 28th state.
Henry Gerwin appointed himself as the first Sheriff of Comal County in 1846 in the Plaza area downtown, until formal elections could be held in 1848. Sheriff Gerwin had vision. Since that time, 22 gentlemen have served as Sheriff. They had vision. I am honored and privileged to stand on the shoulders of those that came before and follow in their footsteps. The Comal County Sheriff’s Office is committed to the ideals of Honor, Integrity, Courage, Strength, Character, and keeping Comal County a safe place to live, work, raise a family, and visit. I am resolute in my vision of our future.
Comal County is 234th out of 254 Texas counties as far as size, however we are 27th out of 254 as far as population and one of the fastest growing. We have been and will remain committed to keeping pace with the growth and providing professional and complete law enforcement services to those we are sworn to protect. When you need us, we stand ready to serve!
Sincerely,
Mark W. Reynolds, Sheriff
Comal County
