How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Grimes County Jail takes some planning. Each inmate can have up to five people on their approved visitation list, and all visits are by appointment only—call 936-873-6437 to schedule. The Sheriff sets visitation days and times. When you arrive, check in at the visitation desk with valid state identification and the inmate's name. Visitors 15 and older must show a driver's license or ID card, and small children can't be left unattended. Each inmate gets two 20-minute visits, with only one adult and one child allowed at a time on a first-come, first-serve basis. One approved visitor can use both sessions by signing back in for the second slot. Leave cell phones, purses, and cameras in your vehicle. Don't pass items or funds to inmates, and follow the dress code—no shorts, tank tops, underwear-style shirts, or see-through fabrics.
