Scheduling Your Visit at Grimes County Jail: Who to Call and What to Expect

All visits at Grimes County Jail are by appointment only. Showing up without one can mean a wasted trip, especially if you're traveling from out of town. Call ahead to confirm your spot.

To schedule a visit, call 936-873-6437. This is the Jail Division's main line, and you can also reach them at jail@grimescountytexas.gov. Some jail documents list a separate number - 936-873-6439 - along with a Records line at 936-873-6442. These can help if you need to reach a specific desk quickly.

Need to reach someone specific at the Sheriff's Office? Call 936-873-2151 and ask to be connected. This is helpful when you're unsure which desk handles your question.

When you call, you're booking your appointment - walk-ins aren't accepted. Keep a pen handy to jot down your scheduled date, time, and any instructions staff give you.

• ✓ The name of the person you’re visiting (you’ll be asked to say who you’re there to see)
• ✓ A valid state-issued photo ID to bring for check-in
• ✓ If you’re 15 or older, a valid state driver’s license or identification card
• ✓ A reminder that you’ll check in at the visitation desk when you arrive

1. Arrive for your scheduled appointment - visitation is appointment-only, so plan around the time you were given.
2. Check in at the visitation desk - this is where the visit starts.
3. Tell staff who you’re visiting - you’ll be asked to indicate the inmate you’re there to see.

Bring a valid state-issued photo ID to check in. Anyone 15 or older must present a state driver's license or ID card - school IDs won't cut it.

Remember: visitation is appointment-only, and the published phone numbers vary across documents. Start with 936-873-6437. If you reach the wrong desk, ask for the number that handles visitation scheduling so you can confirm your appointment with the right person.
