Visitation
- Is the inmate eligible for a visit? How do I schedule a visit? I have been removed from the visitation list, what can I do?
Visitation eligibility can be found by conducting an online inmate search on the TDCJ website.
Scheduling a visit may be completed via the Online Vistitation Portal.
If you have been removed from the inmate’s visitation list, you may appeal that decision by submitting a written request to the Director’s Review Committee (DRC), PO Box 99, Huntsville, TX 77342.
A newly received inmate will not be eligible for visits until the diagnostic processing phase is completed.
