Comfort is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Kendall County, Texas, United States.

[7] Ernst Hermann Altgelt, at the age of 22, is credited with surveying and measuring the lots that would later be sold to the incoming German immigrants.

[8] He stayed and married Emma (Murck) Altgelt, and they raised their nine children in the township of Comfort.

There are well over 100 structures in the area dating back to the 19th century, and seven of them were designed by the noted architect Alfred Giles.

[12] Mr. Giles lived in San Antonio, and he would ride horses, the stagecoach, and later the train to check his building sites in Comfort.

[15][16] In 1918, Albert Steves erected a Hygieostatic Bat Roost on his family farm in Comfort.

This roost was built to attract bats in an effort to control mosquito populations by natural means.

At one time, there were sixteen bat roosts built in the United States and Europe, of which only two sites now remain — one in Comfort and one in the Florida Keys.

Some of the early settlers in Comfort migrated from the collapsed Fisher–Miller Land Grant experimental colonies of the Darmstadt Society of Forty.Comfort is bordered to the west by Kerr County.

The climate in this area is characterized by hot, humid summers and generally mild to cool winters.
