Visitation at Glossbrenner Unit

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visitation at Glossbrenner Unit is scheduled through the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler. You'll need to create your own account—staff can't do it for you. Complete the Background Questionnaire and verify your registration using the 7-digit validation code emailed to you. Once your account is created, the email address is locked and can't be changed. To add an inmate, search by their 8-digit TDCJ or SID number and submit a relationship request. The unit verifies this before approval. Visit types include Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet, though availability depends on your relationship, the inmate's privileges, and unit design. Hours are Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m. Typically you get one two-hour visit per cycle, with possible four-hour extended visits if you're traveling more than 250 miles one way. Confirm assignment and privileges before traveling, and follow ID, clothing, and contraband rules—no cell phones inside the secure perimeter.
