Facility Info

The available documents relate to Henderson County appraisal and tax administration—not detention center operations—so they don't include visiting hours, mail rules, commissary procedures, or schedules. Here's general Texas county-jail guidance to help you plan: booking typically includes a search, personal property inventory, photograph, and fingerprints. Visitation rules vary by facility. Many county jails monitor visits and offer remote or video visits through vendor systems. Commissary and inmate account purchases are usually handled through approved online vendors, with ordering rules and delivery timing differing by jail.
