Visitation at Sayle Unit, Tx

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Sayle Unit visiting hours are Saturday and Sunday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Regular visits last two hours and start once the inmate and all visitors are present. Each inmate normally gets one visit per weekend, so coordinate your group's arrival—if someone else has already visited, you may be turned away. Every visitor needs their own TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler account. Create yours with a valid email, then verify it using the 7-digit code sent to you. Staff can't create or delete accounts for you. The scheduler requires a completed Background Questionnaire and expects specific formats: an 8-digit TDCJ/SID number and phone numbers as XXX XXX XXXX. Bring photo ID, wear facility-compliant clothing, and leave your cell phone outside the secure perimeter. Cash is limited to coins, up to $35.
