Visits at Lubbock County Jail run daily from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm, with your last visit needing to start by 9:30 pm. Each inmate can receive one adult visitor and up to two children per visit, and you can only visit an inmate once per day. If you're 18 or older, bring a valid government-issued photo ID. Some documents (I-94, border crossing card, green card, work authorization, or foreign national passport) may not be accepted. Leave personal items behind: no food, gum, candy, drinks, cell phones, purses, backpacks, pens, pencils, or bags in the visitation rooms. Lockers are available, but you'll need a quarter. Remote video visits require advance scheduling through SmartInmate. General-population remote visits are unlimited but cost extra, while Special Housing Unit visits are scheduled by jail staff (806-775-7019).
Read full guideStaying in touch with someone at Lubbock County Detention Center means working through third-party services. For electronic messages, the facility uses Smart Communications' MailGuard. Send messages through https://www.smartinmate.com and follow the vendor's account and payment steps. Messages are screened before delivery and may arrive on an inmate tablet or as printed copies, depending on vendor and unit rules. For phone calls, you can add money through ICSolutions, but those funds only cover phone use and can't be applied to other services. Tablet availability varies by unit and custody level, so access depends on housing and facility policy.
Read full guideLubbock County Jail accepts phone-account deposits through ICSolutions. Use their website or call 1-888-506-8407. These funds only cover phone use. For other deposits, follow the Inmate Trust Fund procedures and use approved vendors, kiosks, or money orders (not cash or personal checks). The sender often needs to be on the inmate's approved list before a deposit goes through, and vendors or kiosks may charge fees with varying processing times. Don't mail money to the facility address. Follow the centralized deposit instructions exactly to avoid delays or returned funds. To pick up an incarcerated person's property, visit the bond window with a valid photo ID, complete the release form, and get the inmate's approval.
