How to Contact an Inmate at James W. Allred Unit, Iowa Park (TX)

TDCJ offers a Video/Tablet visitation option, which is separate from the Securus Video program available only at certain units. What's actually available depends on your relationship to the inmate, the unit's visitation setup, and the inmate's current privileges. Confirm what applies before you try to set anything up at the Allred Unit.

If you don't have the inmate's TDCJ number, get that first. You can look it up by calling (936) 295-6371 or (800) 535-0283. You'll need that number for setting up accounts and scheduling most communication services.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Confirm whether the inmate can use TDCJ Video/Tablet visitation (and do not assume it is the Securus Video program).
• ✓ Get the inmate’s TDCJ number. If you do not know it, call (936) 295-6371 or (800) 535-0283.
• ✓ Keep the TDCJ number handy for any communication-related setup or scheduling you complete.

Before you build plans around video contact, verify which option applies. TDCJ's Video/Tablet visitation is separate from the Securus Video program, and not every visit type is available in every situation. If you're being directed to a specific vendor or platform, confirm that it's the right one for the Allred Unit and for your loved one's specific custody situation.

1. Find the TDCJ number: Call (936) 295-6371 or (800) 535-0283 if you do not already have it.
2. Use that number as your identifier: When you register, schedule, or request communication services, you will typically be asked for the inmate’s TDCJ number.
3. Confirm any unit-specific requirements before you pay or travel: Once you have the TDCJ number, double-check any rules tied to that number, like what you must do to schedule or activate services.
