How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Van Zandt County Detention Center is a privilege, not a right. Visits can be restricted or canceled for rule violations, lockdowns, security incidents, or public-health emergencies. The facility offers multiple visit types: on-site contact or non-contact visits and remote video/tablet visits. Most non-attorney visits may be monitored or recorded. To schedule, you'll create an online visitation account, verify it through email, and complete any required background check or visitor questionnaire before booking. Remote video visits use the facility's approved video system—availability varies by unit, and remote visits may or may not count separately from on-site visits. Some schedulers hide dates if the person already has a visit booked that week.
