Rhonda Holley accompanied me on a trip to five counties where we documented three calabooses and two cages or cells.  The calabooses are in Moore (Frio County), Quemado (Maverick County), and Comfort (Kendall County).  Both of the cages are in La Pryor (Zavala County) but one was moved there from Crystal City (Zavala County).

I found this picture on the Internet.  This building is located in Cleburne (Johnson County) was was next to the old county jail that is now gone.  I think it was a calaboose and the local historian is looking into it for me.  I plan to go there later this month.

 

Darryl Pearson talked to a resident of Marquez who provided him with an interesting story about the calaboose in that town.  This information is posted under Calabooses.
