How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting someone at Bowie County Detention Center starts with a visitation request form that you fill out yourself—not the inmate. Once complete, mail or hand-deliver it to detention control at 105 W. Front St., Texarkana, TX 75501. The form asks for identifying and contact details: your phone number, date of birth, sex, race, Social Security number, driver's license number and issuing state, and your relationship to the inmate. This information may be used for an NCIC background check. Leave required sections blank or provide false information, and your request will likely be denied. Keep in mind that visitation is a privilege—it can still be limited by facility rules, security concerns, or scheduling.
