How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Ector County Detention requires a visitation permit form with checkboxes for agency affiliation (PAROLE, FBI, MARSHAL, etc.). If you have an official role, be ready to identify it when you arrive. The permit also asks where the inmate should report—options include Visitation, Attorney Room, Room 111, Library, or specific housing blocks. Visits are a privilege, not a right. They can be restricted or canceled for rule violations, lockdowns, security incidents, or health and safety concerns. Different visit types have different scheduling rules. Create and verify any required visitation account, complete background questionnaires if requested, and use the facility's scheduling interface to avoid blocked dates.
