Search by Inmate Name
Enter first and last name to look up an inmate at Jordan Unit.
Overview
To look up someone assigned to Jordan Unit, start with the Texas statewide offender search or another public locator tool. Grab their TDCJ/SID (or other booking identifier) before you try to schedule a visit. If you've submitted a relationship request, the system may show "Relation Requests Pending Approval" until unit staff approves it. Once you're moved to "Verified Inmate Relations," scheduling becomes possible. On the visit scheduler, a blank button or "Call Unit" means you need to contact the unit directly. "Not Approved for Visits" can appear if visitation privileges have been removed. Visit types may include Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet, with Extended or Special Visit options when available. Visitation is a privilege the warden can restrict for rule violations, security incidents, lockdowns, escapes, disturbances, or health/safety emergencies.

Common Questions
How can I search for an inmate assigned to Jordan Unit?
Use the Texas statewide offender search or other public locator tools to find someone assigned to Jordan Unit and to get their TDCJ/SID or booking number. If you need ongoing updates, consider registering for notification services for custody-status alerts.
What does 'Relation Requests Pending Approval' mean for Jordan Unit?
It means your relationship request is still waiting on unit staff approval. Once it’s approved and moved to “Verified Inmate Relations,” visit scheduling may be available; if it isn’t approved, you won’t be able to schedule through the scheduler.
Why does the Schedule Visit button say 'Call Unit' or appear blank on the scheduler?
A blank button or “Call Unit” means you should call the inmate’s unit to arrange the visit. If you see “Not Approved for Visits,” it can mean visitation privileges have been removed.
How do I schedule a visit with an inmate at Jordan Unit?
Schedule visits through the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler by logging in at visitation.tdcj.texas.gov. If you need other contact details, use the Jordan Unit’s official contact page on the state corrections website.
Can I change the email I used for my TDCJ visitation scheduler account?
No. Once an email address is used to create a visitation scheduler account, it can’t be deleted or changed. Only create a new account if the system and facility rules allow it for different users.
