How to Schedule Your First Video Visit at Brazos County Jail (College Station)
Scheduling your first video visit is straightforward once you know where to go and which time slots are available. Here's the exact process Brazos County Jail uses, plus what you'll pay for remote visits from home.
You can't just show up at Brazos County Jail and ask for a video visit. Both onsite and remote (from-home) video visits require a reservation through the servicer's website. Plan on setting everything up online before your visit.
Start by creating your SmartInmate account on smartinmate.com. There’s no cost to sign up, and you’ll use this same account to schedule and conduct video visits for Brazos County Detention Center.
Note: Visits are scheduled online through the servicer’s website, so make sure your account setup is complete before you try to reserve a time.
Pay close attention to the daily windows when picking a time. Brazos County Jail offers scheduled video visitation every day from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and again from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

For remote visits from home, you'll choose a set visit length - either 15 minutes or 30 minutes. Decide how long you want ahead of time and book the block that fits.
Remote visits are billed at $0.20 per minute. Since you're booking in 15- or 30-minute blocks, multiply the minutes by $0.20 to estimate your total cost.
Good to know: Local/on-site video visits are provided free of charge.
