Understanding Beto's Visiting Hours and the One-Visit-Per-Weekend Rule
Visiting the Beto Unit comes down to planning: know the weekend hours, coordinate around the one-visit-per-weekend limit, and nobody makes a wasted trip.
Saturday visiting hours at the Beto Unit run from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Use that window to plan your travel time, check-in, and how early you want to arrive.
Sunday hours are the same: 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. If your family is deciding between days, coordinate around the one-visit-per-weekend rule below.
Beto follows a one-visit-per-weekend rule for each inmate. Once someone visits that weekend, additional visitors can be turned away - even if they're on the approved list. The safest approach: pick who's visiting, pick the day, and make sure everyone is on the same page before anyone drives out.
The TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler helps you avoid conflicts. Since each inmate is limited to one visit per weekend, the scheduler won't offer dates that are already taken. If you're coordinating across multiple relatives, check the scheduler before anyone commits to travel - it can save a lot of frustration at the front gate.
- ✓ Create your own account in the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler (TDCJ staff cannot create visitor accounts for you).
- ✓ When you add the inmate, enter an exact eight-digit TDCJ or SID number (it must be 8 digits long).
Call before you go. Visitation schedules change frequently. A quick phone call can prevent a long, wasted drive.
