Secured key cabinets should be provided at suitable locations according to which regulatory publication?

• A. TCJS 269.1
• B. TCJS 269.2
• C. TCJS 260.1
• D. TCJS 259.155

Answer: (D)

Key control and secure storage of keys are essential for preventing unauthorized access and ensuring accountability in a detention setting. The rule that secured key cabinets must be provided at suitable locations is found in the Texas Commission on Jail Standards regulations on key control, specifically 259.155. This provision directly requires that keys be kept in locked cabinets placed in appropriate locations so staff can access them as needed while keeping keys secure. Because this standard directly addresses how and where keys should be stored, it is the publication that governs this requirement. The other TCJS sections referenced in the options cover different facility topics and do not establish the key-cabinet requirement.
