Register for JailATM and Choose: Taylor County Jail Lobby (Free) vs. Online Visits (Paid)
Video visits at Taylor County Jail—whether free at the lobby or paid from home—start with a one-time registration at JailATM.com. Once that's done, you pick whichever option works for your schedule and budget.
Before you can video visit anyone at Taylor County Jail, you need to complete a one-time registration at JailATM.com. This single registration unlocks both visit options: the free lobby kiosks and paid online visits from home. First-time visitors often hit a wall here - if things feel stuck, registration is usually the missing piece. Get that done first, then decide how you want to visit.
Note: Use JailATM.com for the exact registration prompts and required fields - don’t guess at what information you’ll need until you’re on the site.
- Go to JailATM.com - Start the one-time registration process for visitors.
- Create your account - Set up your login so you can access visitation features.
- Finish the one-time registration - Complete the site’s required registration steps so you can visit at the jail without scheduling, or schedule online visits from outside the facility.
If you can make it to the facility, lobby video visits are the budget-friendly option - they're free. The lobby is open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Visits last 30 minutes whether you're at the lobby or online, so give yourself time to check in and still get your full session.
Tip: Lobby visitation closes at 8:00 PM sharp. Arrive early enough to actually start your visit before then.
Online video visits run daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM - a longer window that helps if you work late or live far away. The cost is $0.50 per minute, and visits are 30 minutes long. Choose this option when flexibility matters more than cost.
Decision Guide
- ✓ Choose the free jail lobby option if you can travel to the jail and visit during 8:00 AM–8:00 PM.
- ✓ Choose a paid online visit if you need the wider hours (8:00 AM–11:00 PM) or you can’t get to the jail in person.
- ✓ If cost matters most, remember online visits are $0.50 per minute, while lobby visits are free.
- ✓ Either way, complete the one-time JailATM.com registration first so you can visit at the jail without scheduling or schedule online from outside the facility.
Quick math on online visit costs: at $0.50 per minute, a 30-minute visit runs about $15.00. That's an estimate based on posted rates - not a final receipt - but it gives you a number to budget with before scheduling.
Start by completing your one-time registration at JailATM.com. From there, you can use the free lobby kiosks (8:00 AM–8:00 PM) or schedule paid online visits during extended hours (8:00 AM–11:00 PM). Double-check the jail's visitation page for any schedule changes before making plans.
Also helpful: Out-of-town visitors must call the jail (Front Office, Ext. 4) to schedule, Monday–Friday between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM. Visits can be rescheduled due to court, work assignments, disciplinary action, sick call, attorney visits, or housing reassignments. Need to add money to someone's account?
