Harris County Jail - Lasalle

Harris County Jail doesn't offer in-person visitation on Mondays. Other days have multiple afternoon and evening time slots, but availability depends on the inmate's housing unit—visits are organized by floor or pod. Book through the inmate-visit portal at visitinmate.jms.hctx.net, where you can schedule, manage visits, and get instant confirmations. Before booking, look up the inmate's current housing location and SPN on the Harris County Sheriff's website so you select the right unit. Keep in mind that visitation is a privilege. The facility can deny, revoke, limit, or monitor visits for safety, security, rule violations, or other reasons. Confirm details when you book and follow the portal's visitor instructions.

Harris County Jail offers remote video visits in 20-minute sessions. Off-site hours run Monday–Friday from 4–9 p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m.–9 p.m., at $5.99 per session. You'll need to apply for a video visit account and follow the facility's Video Visit instructions; Securus can help with setup and scheduling questions. Phone calls work differently. Inmates can't receive incoming calls, but they can place collect calls to permitted numbers through the vendor system. If you can't accept collect calls, set up an Advance Pay account with Securus so the inmate can reach you. Be aware that calls may be recorded or monitored, and attempted transfers or conference calls will disconnect the line.

Harris County Jail changed its mail rules on 6/16/2025: personal mail won't be accepted unless addressed exactly according to HCSO directions. Follow the new routing instructions or your mail will be returned. Every piece of inmate mail needs your full name and complete return address, plus the inmate's full booked name, SPN, and housing facility/cell block. Missing details mean it gets sent back. Legal and privileged mail must go through the facility's legal-mail process—don't send it to the general digital-mail address. Photos are allowed with strict limits: nothing offensive, sexual, gang-related, or showing drugs. Maximum size is 5" x 7", and you can send up to 10 photos per package. Prohibited items are treated as contraband—confiscated and disposed of, not stored.

Incarcerated people at Harris County Jail use an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account. You can add money through approved online vendors, kiosks, monthly ACH debits, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check. Often, you'll need to be on the person's Approved Visitation or Telephone list before your deposit goes through—follow the jail's approved-sender steps first. Want to confirm a deposit arrived? The Inmate Trust Fund office can usually verify receipt, but they won't share full balances or transaction details with anyone except the inmate. Don't send cash or personal checks. Stick to accepted payment types and follow the centralized deposit instructions to avoid delays or returned funds. For phone funding when collect calls are restricted, Securus offers Advance Pay accounts—call 1-800-844-6591 for setup and video-visit account instructions.
