Kahler, who was originally charged with burglary of a building, was caught at noon on Thursday at the Knight's Inn in Brenham.
He has since been transported to the Leon County Sheriff’s Office Jail, where he was booked on the charge of escape.
The Leon County Sheriff's Office is crediting their members, the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, and the Gulf Coast Fugitive Task Force for Kahler's arrest.
