How to Contact an Inmate at POTTER COUNTY JAIL, TX (TX)

Potter County Jail assigns visitation days by the first letter of the inmate's last name. Each inmate gets one day per week: A to D on Monday, E to J on Tuesday, K to N on Wednesday, O to R on Thursday, and S to Z on Friday. Visiting hours run Monday through Friday with two daily windows: 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Show up on the wrong day for your inmate's last-name group and you likely won't get in. Match the day first, then pick whichever time slot works for you.

Visits at Potter County Jail are in-person but non-contact. Each inmate can receive two visits per calendar week (counted Sunday through Saturday), and each visit lasts 20 minutes. The jail also caps group size. You can bring either two adults or one adult with children under age 16. Visitor registration opens 15 minutes before each visitation period starts. Arriving earlier won't help, and arriving late puts you behind everyone else in line.

Potter County publishes a public prisoner report listing booking details for people in custody. Entries typically include name, age, phone number, booking number, SO#, charges, bond amount, and disposition status. This report can help you confirm you have the right person or gather basic booking and case details before planning a visit.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Leave cell phones, cameras, purses, packages, umbrellas, bags, and other container-like items in your car or outside the detention center.
• ✓ Time your arrival so you can register when visitor registration opens (15 minutes before the visitation period starts).

1. Match the visitation day to the inmate’s last name. A to D visit Monday, E to J Tuesday, K to N Wednesday, O to R Thursday, and S to Z Friday.
2. Choose a time window and plan around it. Visitation is Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM and 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.
3. Keep the weekly limit in mind. Each inmate is allowed two 20-minute, in-person, non-contact visits per calendar week (Sunday through Saturday).
4. Arrive with the right-sized group. Only two adults may visit at a time, or one adult with children under 16.

Before making the trip, check the Potter County public prisoner report for the inmate's booking details. It typically shows name, booking number, charges, bond amount, and disposition status. This helps you confirm you have the right person and understand their current situation.

Verify the visitation day assignment (based on the first letter of the inmate's last name) before you go, especially if you're traveling from out of town. Confirm the current visitation hours for your planned day, since the schedule only covers Monday through Friday time windows. Also double-check how the jail counts the inmate's two visits per week. The policy uses a Sunday through Saturday calendar week.

Confirm when registration opens for the visitation period you're attending. At Potter County Jail, it starts 15 minutes before visitation begins. Also verify your group fits the limit: two adults maximum, or one adult with children under age 16. If you're bringing kids, plan ahead so no one gets turned away at the door.

Double-check what you can bring into the visitation area. The jail prohibits cell phones, cameras, purses, packages, umbrellas, bags, and anything that works as a container. Leave these in your car or outside the detention center. If you're using the public prisoner report for booking information, make sure you're looking at the most current version. The report reflects who's currently in custody and their listed booking details.
