How to Visit Fort Stockton Unit, TX (TX)

To schedule through the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler, you'll need to create your own visitor account. TDCJ staff cannot set one up for you. The online system is also limited by location: only residents of the United States, Canada, and Mexico can use it.

Visitation is a privilege, not a guarantee. It can be temporarily restricted for the incarcerated person or the visitor after rule violations or security concerns. Visits may also be suspended during unit lockdowns, serious incidents (like escapes or disturbances), or health and safety emergencies. If you're using the online scheduler and see "Not Approved for Visits" instead of a scheduling button, visitation privileges have been removed even though your relationship is confirmed.

Before you head out, confirm the inmate is assigned to Fort Stockton Unit and has visitation privileges. Bring your photo ID. If you show up without acceptable identification, you'll lose the visit even if everything else checks out.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Create your own account in the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler (TDCJ staff cannot create visitor accounts).
• ✓ If you live outside the United States, Canada, or Mexico, confirm how you can schedule, since use of the online system is restricted to residents of those countries.

• ✓ Confirm the inmate is assigned to the Fort Stockton Unit before you plan your trip.
• ✓ Confirm the inmate currently has visitation privileges.
• ✓ If the scheduler shows “Not Approved for Visits,” the inmate’s visitation privileges have been removed.
• ✓ Keep in mind visits can be temporarily restricted for rule violations, security concerns, lockdowns, escapes, disturbances, or a health and safety emergency.

• ✓ Verify the unit visitation schedule.
• ✓ Check whether visitation has been canceled, unit-wide cancellations are posted on the TDCJ homepage.

• ✓ Bring photo identification (ID) for entry.

Before you start, make sure you can actually use the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler from where you live. It's restricted to residents of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. You'll also need to create your own account since TDCJ staff cannot do it for you.

Verify the incarcerated person is currently assigned to Fort Stockton Unit and has visitation privileges before you travel. If privileges have been removed, the online scheduler will display "Not Approved for Visits." Keep in mind that temporary restrictions can happen due to rule violations, security concerns, lockdowns, major incidents, or health and safety emergencies.

Confirm the unit visitation schedule close to your planned visit date. Also check for cancellations: unit-wide visitation cancellations are posted on the TDCJ homepage.

Bring photo ID. If you're unsure whether your ID will be accepted, confirm the acceptable forms of identification before you go.
