For scheduled interpreter needs at the jail, submit your request to Jail Administration and give 48 hours' notice when possible. Unexpected interpreter needs are generally filled within 30 minutes to one hour. Interpreter requests outside law enforcement, corrections, or court contexts go through the ADA Coordinator, and departments must notify the ADA Coordinator in writing. Staff cannot require you to use a family member as an interpreter, and you won't be charged for interpreter services. TTY/Relay access is available through 7-1-1 and Relay Texas.
