Visiting Hours at Brazoria County Jail: What You Need to Know About the 12:45 PM Cutoff

Visitation runs Monday through Sunday, 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. That's your window - plan around it, especially if you're traveling or bringing kids. But here's the catch: there's a registration deadline before the visiting period ends.

Here's the rule that trips people up: you must be registered 15 minutes before visitation ends. Since visitation closes at 1:00 PM, that means fully registered by 12:45 PM. Arrive at 12:50 PM? You're already too late. The deadline is about completing registration - not just walking through the door.

Being on time isn't the only consideration. The visitation area has capacity limits: two adults and one child, or one adult and two children, at a time. Arriving close to the cutoff with a larger group? Decide who's going in before you get there - otherwise you risk losing the visit entirely.

Before entering the visitation area, you'll need to register. Head to the "Male Visitation" station first - that's where all visitors check in before proceeding to the designated visitation area.

Registration includes paperwork. You'll fill out a visitation form provided at the visitation area.

• ✓ Bring a valid photo ID (examples listed by the jail include a current state-issued picture ID or driver’s license, a valid passport, an Armed Forces ID card, or a DPS ID card).
• ✓ Do not bring cellphones or other electronic devices into the visitation area.

1. Aim to be registered well before 12:45 PM - visitation ends at 1:00 PM, and you must be registered 15 minutes before the end.
2. Have your photo ID ready - you’ll need a valid form of photo identification to visit.
3. Leave your phone and electronics behind - absolutely no cellphones or electronic devices are allowed in the visitation area.

• ✓ Wear appropriate clothing: no tube tops, halter tops, spaghetti straps, tank tops without a brassiere (women), revealing/low-cut tops, or shorts/skirts above the knee.
• ✓ Wear shoes (required).
