How to Visit Hilltop Unit, TX (TX)
Planning a visit to the Hilltop Unit comes down to two things: you'll need your own TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account, and regular visits last two hours once everyone is present. Here's how to prepare so nothing catches you off guard.
You'll need to create your own TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account before scheduling a visit. The unit won't do this for you. Once your account exists, staff may help update details like your name or address, but the initial setup is your responsibility.
Regular visits last two hours, and that clock starts when both you and the inmate are present. If you're coordinating rides, childcare, or time off work, build in extra buffer so you're not scrambling at the start.
Steps-to-follow
- ✓ Create your TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account yourself.
- ✓ Keep your login details somewhere safe so you can get back in to schedule and manage visits.
- ✓ If your account information needs corrections later (for example, a name or address update), ask staff for help after your account has already been created.
- ✓ Plan to be ready when the inmate and all visitors are present, since the regular visit clock starts at that point.
- ✓ Expect a regular visit to last two hours once it begins.
Having account trouble? Know what the Hilltop Unit can actually help with. Staff can't create your account, but they may be able to update details after it exists. Double-check that you're using the official TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler site when setting up your account and booking visits.
Ask whether anything changes the standard two-hour visit length, like special visits or unit-specific scheduling rules. It's also worth confirming how the unit defines "present" for the start time, since that determines when your two hours actually begin.
