Kinney County is a county located in the U.S. state of Texas. As of the 2020 census, its population was 3,129. Its county seat is Brackettville. The county was created in 1850 and later organized in 1874. It is named for Henry Lawrence Kinney, an early settler.

Kinney County's biggest issue since the 2010s is illegal immigration from Mexico through the county. The county does not have the resources to deal with the large number of migrants, and in 2021 proclaimed a State of Emergency.[1]
