Visitation at Hodge Unit, TX.

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Visiting at Hodge Unit starts with the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler. You'll need to create your own account. TDCJ staff can't do it for you, and once your account is tied to an email address, that email can't be changed or deleted. During registration, enter your phone number in the XXX XXX XXXX format, verify the 7-digit code sent to your email, and answer every Background Questionnaire question to move forward. To add an inmate, use their 8-digit TDCJ or SID number and submit any relationship requests through the scheduler for unit staff verification. Standard hours run Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., though availability depends on custody level and unit rules. If you see "Call Unit" or no Schedule Visit button, call the unit directly. Bring a current government-issued photo ID (at least one must show a physical address). Leave contraband at home: cell phones, smartwatches, laptops, and paper money are all prohibited.
