Visiting Montgomery County Jail (Conroe): How to Schedule, Who Can Attend, and Current Visit Rules

All visits at Montgomery County Jail (Conroe) must be scheduled online through the jail's visitation portal. The key rule: book at least 24 hours in advance. Same-day visits aren't an option. Trying to lock in a weekend slot or a specific time that works for your family? Reserve early. That 24-hour requirement is a hard cutoff, and popular times fill up fast. Once you've booked through the portal, that appointment is your green light to show up. Without a confirmed booking made in time, expect to be turned away.

Visits are appointment-only during normal visitation periods. Walk-ins aren't allowed, so showing up without a reservation typically wastes a trip. No confirmed appointment? Head back to the online system and pick an available time that meets the 24-hour advance rule.

Each inmate gets one visit per visitation period. Coordinate with other family and friends beforehand so you don't accidentally use up that one opportunity when someone else was planning to go. Visits are limited to two visitors at a time. If more than two people want to see the same person, decide who attends this time and who waits for the next visitation period. Sorting out the rotation before you schedule helps avoid last-minute disagreements and missed visits.

Visitation areas are limited to 30% capacity for social distancing. That means fewer appointment slots, especially during popular times. Not seeing openings that work? Keep checking for different time options and book as soon as you know you can make it.

If the person you want to visit is on Quarantine Status, they can't receive visitors until they've been cleared for General Population. Even if the calendar shows available times, quarantine status will block the visit. Before you arrange time off work, childcare, or travel, confirm the person you're visiting is actually eligible. If they're in quarantine, wait to schedule until they've been cleared. This is one of the most common reasons visits fall through, even when you follow every other rule.

Masks are optional inside the Visitation Area for both visitors and inmates. You can choose whether to wear one based on your own comfort level.
