How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Before traveling to Lamb County Jail, confirm the inmate is assigned to the unit and has visitation privileges. Then call the unit for final confirmation—this saves you from making an unnecessary trip. Bring a valid photo ID; no ID means no entry. Leave cash at home. Only coins are allowed inside, and they can't exceed $35. Expect security: both you and your vehicle may be searched by staff. Cell phones aren't allowed inside the secure perimeter. Each inmate gets one visit per weekend. Need a special visit or accommodations? Arrange it in advance by calling the unit. Spiritual visits go through the warden's office, and unit-wide cancellations are posted on the TDCJ homepage.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
