Lee County Jail, TX

Before an inmate moves into general population, they complete a visitation list. Only people on that list can visit. An inmate can designate up to five individuals (including minors) as unofficial visitors, but only three (including infants and children) may attend a single visit. Each visit lasts 20 minutes, with a maximum of two visits per week. Bring a valid photo ID: driver's license, state photo ID, military ID, or passport. Leave purses, coats, cell phones, cameras, recording devices, and packages outside the visitation area. Staff may search visitors and can deny or end a visit for improper conduct, signs of alcohol or drug use, improper dress, or suspected contraband.

Funding at Lee County Jail flows through commissary and the inmate trust fund. Commissary runs on a weekly cycle: inmates place orders on Monday, and deliveries arrive on Thursday. To mail a money order, make it payable to the inmate and address the envelope to the inmate. Follow the jail's mailing instructions closely, and don't include personal letters with the money order. In Texas, deposits are typically handled through an Inmate Trust Fund using approved online vendors, kiosks, or mailed money orders and cashier's checks. Cash and personal checks are generally not accepted. Processing times and fees vary, so plan ahead. For commissary questions, reach the Commissary Officer at (979) 542-2800.
