The Texas Commission on Jail Standards (“TCJS”) recently determined that the Erath County jail, in Stephenville, Texas, is non-compliant with minimum standards. This determination occurred as a result of an April 12, 2021 inspection by the TCJS. The TCJS inspector noted that the fire facility panel was showing trouble in the system. This trouble had related to a broken pipe in the facility sprinkler system that occurred in February 2021. As of April 12, 2021, the Erath County jail had not initiated repairs.
