Billy Moore Unit

Regular in-person visits at Moore Unit last two hours, and the clock starts when both the inmate and visitor(s) are present. Before you travel, call the unit to confirm the inmate is assigned to Moore Unit and still has active visitation privileges. Visitation information is updated daily, and the unit can give final confirmation for scheduled visits. Keep in mind that visitation is a privilege. It can be restricted or discontinued for rule violations, security concerns, lockdowns, escapes, disturbances, or health and safety emergencies. Contact visits allow limited physical contact: one embrace and a brief kiss at the start and again at the end, plus holding hands on top of the table while in staff view. To schedule, you'll generally need an online visitation account and may need to complete a background questionnaire. Remote video or tablet visits may also be available through the approved system, depending on the unit.

Inmates at Moore Unit typically have several ways to stay in touch: phone calls, remote video visits, electronic messaging, and tablet-based services. What's actually available depends on unit rules and the inmate's custody level. To receive phone calls from a TDCJ inmate, register your telephone number at texasprisonphone.com. You may need the inmate's TDCJ ID number during setup. For vendor-based services like eCommDirect, the inmate may need to add you to their Approved Visitation List, or you may need to register your phone with the vendor (for example, Securus) so you appear on the approved phone list. Before making travel plans or trying to schedule anything, confirm the inmate is currently assigned to Moore Unit and call the unit to verify access and privileges.

Moore Unit only accepts deposits from people listed on the inmate's Approved Visitor List or Inmate Telephone List. Make sure the inmate has added you before you try to send funds. To mail a deposit, send a money order or cashier's check using the deposit slip or instructions the inmate provides, addressed to: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. You can also set up monthly ACH debit deposits with an ACH authorization form and a voided check. The debit typically happens around the 5th of the month, and funds usually post to the offender's account around the 10th. Do not send cash or personal checks. Approved vendors, kiosks, and mailed money orders all work, but expect service fees and processing time. For receipt questions, ask the inmate for the deposit slip or confirm directly with the Inmate Trust Fund office.
