Visitation at Billy Moore Unit

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Moore Unit's official visiting hours (I‑218) are Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. How often you can visit gets confusing: the unit visitation index says one visit per weekend, while I‑218 says one visit per visiting cycle (Monday through the following Sunday). Regular visits last two hours, starting when both you and the inmate are present. Traveling more than 250 miles one way? You may qualify for an extended visit of up to four hours at the warden's discretion. You'll need to create your own online scheduler account—staff can't do it for you—and use the inmate's eight‑digit TDCJ or SID number. If privileges are removed, the scheduler will show "Not Approved for Visits." Before you drive, call to confirm assignment and status, bring photo ID, and follow rules on permitted items and visitor list limits (max 10 names).
