How to Visit Pam Lychner State Jail (TX)

Before you can schedule a visit, you'll need to create your own account in the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler. Nobody at the facility can do this for you. Once your account exists, TDCJ staff can help with certain updates (like changing names or addresses), but that first step is on you.

Plan your day around the visiting period itself. A regular visit lasts two hours, and the clock starts when both the inmate and the visitor(s) are present. Your actual time together depends on everyone being ready, not just when you walk through the door.

Sec2

• ✓ Create your TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account before you try to schedule anything.
• ✓ If something in your visitor information needs to be updated, remember staff can only assist after your account has already been created.
• ✓ On visit day, aim to be ready so the two-hour visiting period can begin when both the inmate and all visitor(s) are present.

Confirm the current account process before you make plans. Ask what you need to do on your end to create your TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account, and find out what kinds of changes staff can help with afterward. If you run into trouble with your account, ask what support is available. Remember: staff cannot create accounts for visitors, so any issues with setup are yours to resolve.

Verify the details that affect your actual time in the visit room. Ask for the current visiting hours and whether any exceptions change the standard two-hour visit length. Also confirm how check-in timing and late arrival factor in. The regular visiting period begins when the inmate and the visitor(s) are both present, so delays on either side cut into your time together.
