How to Visit McConnell Unit, TX (TX)
Visiting at the McConnell Unit runs through the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler. Handle two things up front (creating your own account and picking the right visit type) and the rest of the process gets much smoother.
Before you try to schedule anything, set up your own account in the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler. TDCJ staff cannot create visitor accounts for you. Even if you call or show up in person, you'll still need to complete the account creation yourself.
When you schedule, the system asks you to choose a visit type. Options include Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet. Depending on the incarcerated person's visitation privileges and the facility's visitation area, you may also see Extended or Special visit options, but those don't show up for everyone.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Create your own account in the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler (staff cannot create it for you)
- ✓ Check which visit types are available for the person you are trying to visit (Regular, Contact, Video/Tablet, and possibly Extended or Special)
- ✓ Select the visit type offered in the scheduler that fits your situation and proceed with the request
Use the scheduler itself to confirm what's actually available for your visit. Not every visit type is offered in every situation. Availability depends on the visitor-inmate relationship, the unit's visitation area, and the inmate's privileges. If Extended or Special visits apply to your request, the system will present them.
Run into account issues? Focus your troubleshooting on the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler's built-in resources and prompts, since the facility can't create the account for you. Staff can help update certain information once an account exists, but the initial setup is on you.
