How to Visit Hood County Jail, TX (TX)

Before anything else, register online through the Hood County GTL VisitMe site. Every visitor needs to do this, including minors. No registration, no visit.

In-person visitation for male inmates happens twice a week: Wednesdays from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm and Saturdays from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

Note: Schedules and requirements can change. Confirm that online registration is still required and that the visitation hours you plan to use are current before heading out.

How to Visit Hood County Jail, TX (TX)

Steps

  • ✓ Register online at the Hood County GTL VisitMe site before attempting to use visitation services.
  • ✓ Plan a visit for Wednesday between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm (male in-person visitation).
  • ✓ Plan a visit for Saturday between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm (male in-person visitation).

Once you're registered and have a day picked out, take a moment to check the basics the jail may enforce at the door. Think accepted IDs, visitor conduct rules, and anything else that could trip you up. The registration requirement and visitation windows listed above are the most reliable details here, so confirming the rest with the jail before you leave home can save you a wasted trip.

  1. Confirm the online registration requirement: Verify that all visitors (including minors) still need to register online, and that you are using the correct Hood County GTL VisitMe registration page (searching for “GTL VisitMe Hood County” can help you find it).
  1. Re-check the schedule for male in-person visits: Confirm the current hours for male inmates (Wednesdays 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm; Saturdays 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm), and ask if there are any holiday or temporary changes before you head out.

Note: Call Hood County Jail directly or check its official information pages to confirm registration, visitation hours, and any visitor restrictions (guest limits, ID requirements, dress code, etc.).
