How to Visit Rogelio Sanchez State Jail (TX)
Visiting Rogelio Sanchez State Jail goes smoothest when you use the TDCJ online scheduler and confirm your loved one can receive visits before you make the trip. Here are the key rules and exact steps to get your visit scheduled.
The TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler will tell you clearly if visits aren't allowed. If your relationship with the inmate is confirmed but their visitation privileges have been revoked, you'll see "Not Approved for Visits" instead of the Schedule Visit button.
Contact visits allow limited physical contact. You can embrace and kiss once at the start of the visit and once at the end.
You'll need your own TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account to get started. TDCJ staff can't create one for you, so plan to set it up yourself. When adding an inmate to your profile, you'll need their TDCJ or SID number. It must be exactly 8 digits. Without the correct 8-digit number, you won't be able to add them or move forward with scheduling.
Note: Before you travel, confirm the inmate is assigned to this unit and has active visitation privileges. Call the unit directly so you don't make a wasted trip.
- Create your TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account. You must set up your own account, staff cannot do it for you.
- Add the inmate to your profile. Use the inmate’s TDCJ or SID number, and make sure it is exactly 8 digits.
- Look for the Schedule Visit button next to the inmate’s name. That button is your sign that scheduling is available.
- Watch for “Not Approved for Visits”. If that message appears instead of the button, the inmate’s visitation privileges have been removed and you will not be able to schedule a visit through the system.
- Confirm the unit assignment. Make sure the inmate is assigned to Rogelio Sanchez State Jail.
- Confirm visitation privileges before you travel. Call the unit for final confirmation so you know visits are allowed before you leave home.
- ✓ During a contact visit, you may embrace and kiss once at the beginning of the visit and once at the end.
- ✓ You may hold hands during visitation only if your hands stay on top of the table in full view of staff.
Before you make the drive, check your scheduler screen and follow up with a phone call. The scheduler shows you when someone is "Not Approved for Visits." The unit can confirm the inmate is still assigned there and that their visitation privileges are active.
- ✓ You created your own TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account (staff cannot create it for you).
- ✓ You have the inmate’s correct 8-digit TDCJ or SID number to add them to your profile.
Note: Not sure what physical contact will be allowed? Ask when you call. The general rule: one embrace and kiss at the start and end of the visit, plus hand-holding on top of the table where staff can see.
