Before You Drive to Lamb County Jail: A Pre-Visit Checklist
A little prep saves you a wasted trip. Use this checklist to confirm the person you're visiting is actually at Lamb County Jail, eligible for visits, and that you'll show up with the right ID—and nothing that'll get you turned away at the door.
Before you leave home, call Lamb County Jail to confirm your visit can happen that day. Reach them at 806-385-7900. The jail is located at 1200 East Waylon, Littlefield, TX 79339. A quick phone call can save you a long drive only to discover the inmate's been moved or their visit status changed.
Tip: Make this call right before you pull out of the driveway. Same-day changes happen, and the jail can tell you what's current.
When you call, ask two things: Is the inmate assigned to Lamb County Jail? Do they have visitation privileges right now? Even if you've visited before, both can change. Better to find out over the phone than after you arrive.
Check for unit-wide visitation cancellations or schedule changes before you travel. These are posted on the TDCJ homepage, but confirm with Lamb County Jail when you call anyway. Even an eligible inmate can't receive visitors if visitation has been canceled facility-wide.
Bring a valid photo ID. Not sure what's accepted? Ask when you call so you don't get stopped at the door.
Plan for searches. Vehicles and visitors are subject to search by unit staff. Keep your car and pockets simple - don't bring anything you wouldn't want questioned or confiscated at the entrance.
Skip cash bills entirely. Only coins are allowed, and they can't exceed $35. If you're unsure how this works on-site or whether anything's changed, confirm the exact limit when you call.
Leave your cell phone behind. Phones aren't allowed inside the secure perimeter. Lock yours in your vehicle - or follow whatever drop-off instructions staff give you - before heading toward the entrance.
