Can You Video Visit Someone at Dolph Briscoe Unit? What to Know About Remote Visits

Before planning a remote video visit - or traveling for any visit - confirm two things first: that your loved one is currently housed at the Dolph Briscoe Unit and that they have visitation privileges. This quick check can save you a lot of frustration. Unit assignment and visitation status determine whether a visit can happen at all.

At TDCJ units that participate in Securus Video Visitation, remote visits are straightforward: each session lasts 60 minutes and costs $10.00. Inmates are limited to one remote video visit per month. Keep that limit in mind if multiple family members want to visit by video in the same month - you'll need to coordinate.

To get started, register through the Securus website. Registration is required before you can schedule anything.
