How to Visit Gonzales County Jail (TX)

The Gonzales County Sheriff's Office is your go-to source for current visitation information. Call the jail directly at (830) 672-6362, or try the 24-hour non-emergency line at (830) 672-6524. Visiting hours, whether visits happen in-person or by video, visitor limits, and what you can bring aren't listed in publicly available sources. These rules can change without notice. A quick phone call before you head out could save you a wasted trip.

Steps Follow

• ✓ If you cannot reach the jail, call the Sheriff’s Office 24-hour non-emergency number at (830) 672-6524 and ask to be routed to jail staff.
• ✓ Ask whether you need to be on an approved visitor list, and if you must schedule an appointment in advance.
• ✓ Confirm what ID is required for adults, and what the rules are for minors visiting.
• ✓ Ask about dress code expectations and any items you must leave in your car (phone, purse, keys, cash).
• ✓ Verify any temporary restrictions that could affect visits (holiday changes, staffing, or other short-notice policy updates).

Start by calling the jail at (830) 672-6362. If you can't get through, try the Sheriff's Office non-emergency line at (830) 672-6524. Ask about the specifics for that day: current visiting hours, whether visitation depends on housing status or classification, and what happens if the person you're visiting is in a restricted unit. Also ask about the details that commonly trip people up. Find out whether you need to be on an approved visitor list, how early to arrive for check-in, which IDs they accept, and what you're allowed to bring inside. If anything sounds unclear, ask the staff member to repeat the key rules so you can write them down. The official Gonzales County Sheriff's Office website may also have posted updates.
