The 10-Name Visitor List Rule at Pam Lychner: How It Works and When You Can Make Changes

Each inmate at Pam Lychner State Jail can have up to 10 names on their Visitors List. That cap fills up fast, especially for larger families or when people from multiple households want to visit. If you're not on the list, you won't be able to visit until you are. Coordinate early about who needs those limited spots most.

Because Pam Lychner is a state jail, changes to an inmate's Visitors List (adding or removing names) can only be made once every 60 days. That timing matters more than you might expect. Adding someone now could mean another person has to wait months to be swapped in. You can't reshuffle names week to week based on who's available. If your group is sharing limited slots, agree on a plan everyone can live with for the next couple of months before submitting any changes.

Being on the Visitors List and being able to schedule a visit are tied to relationship verification through the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler. Here's how it works: you submit a relationship request for an inmate at Pam Lychner, and unit staff review it. Once they confirm the relationship, it moves into the "Verified Inmate Relations" section of the scheduler. From there, you can check whether scheduling is available for that inmate in the system.

• ✓ Put the people who will visit most consistently first, so the limited slots are actually used.
• ✓ Prioritize immediate family or the caregivers who need face time for parenting or support.
• ✓ Save space for anyone traveling long distance, since their visits take more coordination.
• ✓ If you have more than 10 people who want to visit, rotate thoughtfully with the 60-day change window in mind (so nobody is surprised later).
• ✓ Coordinate with the inmate about who is already on the list before you ask for a change, so you do not accidentally bump someone important.
