How to Visit Johnston Unit, TX (TX)

You'll need to create your own account in the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler. TDCJ staff cannot create visitor accounts for you, so complete that setup yourself before trying to schedule anything.

This guide covers only what the TDCJ scheduler confirms. It does not include Johnston Unit visiting hours, dress code, ID rules, or unit-specific procedures. Before you travel, verify the current Johnston Unit visitation rules and schedule through official TDCJ information and the unit directly.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Create your own account in the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler (staff cannot create it for you).
• ✓ Log in and look for the “Schedule Visit” button next to the person you want to visit.
• ✓ If you see “Not Approved for Visits” instead of “Schedule Visit,” the scheduler is telling you visits are not allowed.
• ✓ If you cannot schedule a visit, contact the unit to confirm the person’s visitation status and what to do next.

Unit-specific visitation details can change, so confirm the basics before you go: current visiting days and hours for Johnston Unit, what ID you need to bring, and how the unit handles approved visitor lists. If the scheduler won't let you schedule, ask what steps are required to resolve it and whether any additional approval is needed on the unit's side. Use official TDCJ information and confirm details with the unit before making the trip.
