What to Know Before You Schedule a Visit at Pam Lychner State Jail
Planning a visit to Pam Lychner State Jail? Once you understand the schedule, weekly limits, and visit types, booking is straightforward. Here's what to check before you pick a date.
Visits at Pam Lychner State Jail happen on weekends. Hours run Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Your main decision is picking the day and time slot that works for both you and your loved one.
Note: Before you travel, confirm you can actually book the visit you want. If the scheduler doesn't show a
Pam Lychner State Jail allows one visit per visiting cycle for eligible inmates. A visiting cycle runs Monday through Sunday. So if you visit during that window, you'll need to wait until the next Monday to schedule another regular visit.
Regular visits last two hours. The clock starts when both the inmate and visitor(s) are present and checked in - not when you arrive at the facility.
Pam Lychner State Jail uses the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler for creating accounts and booking visits. You'll see options labeled Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet. The "Video/Tablet" option in the scheduler is its own category - it's not the same as the Securus Video program.
There's also a remote kiosk video visit option. This is a live video visit through a kiosk, available to eligible inmates in addition to contact or general visits - up to once per month for up to 60 minutes. You can't book these through the regular scheduler; they must be scheduled through the vendor website.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Confirm you’re using the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler to create your visitor account and request a visit
- ✓ Check that the inmate shows as available for scheduling on your account
- ✓ Look for the “Schedule Visit” button by the inmate’s name
- ✓ If the button is blank or says “Call Unit,” call the unit to schedule the visit instead
Quick reminders: Regular visits are two hours, starting when the inmate and visitor(s) are both present. Eligible inmates get one visit per cycle (Monday–Sunday). Remote kiosk video visits are separate - up to once per month for up to 60 minutes - and must be booked through the vendor website.
