How to Schedule a Visit at Hunt County Detention (Call Tues/Thurs — 903-453-6850)

Hunt County Detention holds in-person visits on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Those are your three options when scheduling.

Here's how the call-in system works: to schedule a Wednesday visit, call on Tuesday. For Friday or Sunday visits, call on Thursday. Call on the wrong day and you'll be told to try again - so know which visit day you want before dialing.

Call 903-453-6850 between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM to schedule. Try to call earlier in the day - no one answers after 4:00 PM.

If no one answers: Leave a message. The jail says they'll return your call the same day.

  1. Check the time before you call - Scheduling calls are handled between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM, and the phone is not answered after 4:00 PM.
  2. Leave a voicemail if it rings out - If your call isn’t answered during the 8:00 AM–4:00 PM window, leave a message.
  3. Watch for a same-day callback - Calls left during staffed hours are supposed to be returned that day.
  4. If it’s after 4:00 PM, try again on the next call window - Since the phone isn’t answered after 4:00 PM, wait and call back during the 8:00 AM–4:00 PM hours.

Holiday weeks can shift the schedule. Hunt County Detention sometimes changes the call-in days around holidays, so don't assume the usual Tuesday/Thursday pattern applies.

  • ✓ Check with the inmate to confirm the current call-in days during holiday scheduling
  • ✓ Or call 903-453-6850 (between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM) to find out when the call-in days are

Quick Checklist

  • ✓ The inmate’s full name (as the jail has it)
  • ✓ Your full name and a callback number
  • ✓ Which visit day you want (Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday)
  • ✓ A pen and paper to write down any scheduled details or follow-up instructions

Still having trouble? Stick to the basics: call during staffed hours and leave a voicemail if no one picks up. Didn't leave a message? Call back between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM and leave one - that's how they'll know to call you back.

Reminder: The scheduling line isn't answered after 4:00 PM. Leave a message during business hours and expect a callback that day.

Quick recap: Hunt County Detention offers visits on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. Call 903-453-6850 between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM - Tuesday for Wednesday visits, Thursday for Friday or Sunday visits. No answer? Leave a message and they'll call you back the same day.
