How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Video visitation at Taylor County Detention Center is split between in-town and out-of-town visitors. To qualify as out-of-town, you must live at least 150 miles outside the Abilene city limits. You'll need a valid photo ID plus a current utility bill showing your out-of-town address. In-town and online video visits follow specific service hours and last-visit start times, with separate scheduling for weekdays versus weekends. Remote (online) video visits are handled through the approved vendor and may not have a stated limit on frequency or duration, but they typically come with a per-minute fee. Whether a video visit counts as an on-site visit can vary by housing unit.
