How to Contact an Inmate at Tom Green County Jail (TX)

If your loved one was just arrested and is going through booking at Tom Green County Jail, they can make free phone calls within the local dialing area during that process. Once booking wraps up, things change. The holding cells at the Tom Green County Detention Facility do have phones, but they're collect-call only. That means you'll need to be able to accept a collect call when they dial your number.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ If the person is in a holding cell, expect the call to be collect-call only.
• ✓ If you are trying to reach someone right after arrest, ask them to call during booking, since local-area calls are free during the booking process.
• ✓ If you need to stop unwanted calls from the TGCDC, call 1-844-724-2076 or use the NCIC website option to have your number blocked.

A few details are worth confirming directly with Tom Green County Jail or through the jail's official information page. Ask whether the free local-area calls during booking apply to everyone and how long that booking window typically lasts. Confirm that calls from holding cells are still collect-call only once booking is complete, and find out what phone provider is used (if any), what the rates are, and when phones are available. If you're blocking calls, double-check that the blocking instructions are still current. Phone systems and procedures can change without much notice.

1. Call the blocking line - Contact 1-844-724-2076 and ask to have your number blocked for calls from the Tom Green County Detention Center.
2. Use the NCIC website option - If you prefer, use NCIC’s website blocking process to request the block.
3. Re-check if calls keep coming - If you still receive calls afterward, follow up and confirm the block is active and applied to the exact number being called.
