Harris County Jail - Lasalle

Visiting someone at Harris County Jail takes a little planning, but the steps are straightforward. The jail doesn't hold routine in-person visits on Mondays. Other days typically use multiple afternoon and evening blocks based on a floor or pod rotation. All public visits must be scheduled through the inmate scheduling portal (visitinmate.jms.hctx.net), where you'll create and verify an account, complete any required questionnaire steps, and get instant confirmation of your appointment. Before booking, verify the inmate's current housing location and SPN on the Harris County Sheriff's website so you pick the correct day and pod. Keep in mind that visitation is a privilege. It can be denied, revoked, limited, or monitored for safety, security, rule violations, or health incidents. Remote video options vary by unit and may have different rules than on-site visits.

Your main options for staying in touch with someone at Harris County Jail are video visits and outbound phone calls. Remote, off-site video visits are available at 700 N. San Jacinto: Monday through Friday from 4 to 9 p.m., and weekends from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Each session lasts 20 minutes and costs $5.99. To set up or manage video visitation, follow the facility's Video Visit PDF instructions, or contact Securus at 1-800-844-6591 during official visitation hours for help with scheduling and account setup. Phone access works differently: inmates cannot receive inbound calls, but they can place collect calls to approved numbers. Calls may be recorded or monitored. Attempting to transfer or conference a call will disconnect it. If you can't accept collect calls, set up an Advance Pay account through Securus.

Money for commissary at Harris County Jail goes into an Inmate Trust Fund account. You can fund it through approved vendors, kiosks, mailed money orders, or other accepted deposit methods. Generally, you must be an approved sender first (the inmate adds you to their Approved Visitation or Telephone list). Don't send cash or personal checks. If mailing a deposit, use a money order or cashier's check and follow the vendor or kiosk instructions carefully. Processing rules, timing, and service fees vary. Also, don't mail money to the facility's street address. Follow the jail's centralized deposit instructions exactly so your funds aren't returned or lost. For phone and video payment options, the facility uses Securus. To set up Advance Pay for calls or get video-visit account instructions, contact Securus at 1-800-844-6591.
