How to send messages, photos, and packages
Texas prison units commonly offer phone calls, video visits, electronic messaging, and tablet services through state programs and third-party vendors. What's available varies by unit and custody level. At Kyle Unit, the visitation scheduler lists four visit types: Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet. The scheduler specifically notes that Video/Tablet visits are not the same as the Securus Video program. If using Securus Video, sessions are scheduled through Securus, last 60 minutes, and cost $10 per visit. Inmates are limited to one remote video visit per month. When creating your scheduler account, look for a 7-digit validation code sent by email to complete registration. Before traveling, call to confirm the inmate's assignment, visitation privileges, and the unit schedule.
