Joe Ney State Jail, TX

Joe Ney State Jail holds visits on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Regular in-person visits last two hours, and the clock starts once both you and the inmate are present. Each inmate can have up to 10 people on their Visitors List. For state jail inmates, additions and deletions to the list are processed every 60 days. Most visits may be electronically monitored (attorney-client visits are the exception). You'll use the online Scheduler to book your visit, where you'll see different visit types like Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet. Remote video kiosk visits are available once per month for up to 60 minutes and must be scheduled through the vendor site. Before you can schedule anything, you'll need your own Online Visitation Scheduler account, complete with identity verification and a background questionnaire.

Keeping in touch with someone at Joe Ney State Jail typically involves remote video visits and phone calls. The unit uses Securus for remote video visits. Each session runs 60 minutes, costs $10, and inmates are limited to one remote video visit per month. To receive phone calls, you need to register your telephone number online and provide the inmate's TDCJ ID. A few registration requirements apply: the name on your ID must match the telephone listing, you must be the phone owner, be at least 18, and agree to receive calls. Call forwarding and three-way calling are not allowed. Scheduling and payment for video visits go through the vendor or agency portal. Some Texas units also offer electronic messaging or tablet services, but features vary by unit, so check the facility page for what's currently available.

Sending money to someone at Joe Ney State Jail has some specific rules. Only senders listed on the inmate's Approved Visitation List or the Inmate Telephone List can make deposits. No one else can send funds on the inmate's behalf. If you're mailing a trust fund deposit, use a money order or cashier's check and include the required deposit slip (the inmate must obtain this for you). Follow the facility's deposit instructions exactly. Any single transaction of $500.00 or more, along with certain disbursement checks, is held for 14 days before the inmate can access the money. For eCommDirect, quarterly purchase limits are $70 for Jan–Mar, Apr–Jun, and Jul–Sep, and $95 for Oct–Dec. Newly received inmates cannot receive eCommDirect purchases until the next calendar quarter.
