Visitation
You must be on the inmate's approved visiting list before showing up at FCI Texarkana. Call the facility to confirm the current schedule before you travel, since hours can change. Federal rules guarantee inmates at least four hours of visiting time each month, though the warden can limit visit length or the number of visitors for security or other reasons. Depending on the unit and the inmate's privileges, visits may be in person or remote. Many non-attorney visits can be monitored or recorded. Plan ahead by setting up any required online visitor account, completing background or questionnaire steps, and checking availability so you don't pick a blocked date.

FCI Texarkana uses a Trust Fund (Deposit Fund) and commissary program to manage inmate accounts and let inmates buy approved items beyond basic care. If you want to send money, use the approved deposit methods and vendors instead of mailing cash or personal checks. Money in the Trust Fund covers commissary purchases and other inmate services, including TRULINCS electronic messaging. Before sending a deposit, double-check the vendor's rules, accepted payment types (such as money orders or cashier's checks if allowed), and processing timelines. This helps ensure the funds post correctly to the right person.
