How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Van Zandt County Detention Center is a privilege, and jail administrators can restrict or cancel visits for rule violations, lockdowns, security incidents, or health and safety emergencies. Visit options typically include in-person (including contact) visits and remote video or tablet visits. Most non-attorney visits may be monitored or recorded. To get started, you'll create an online visitation account, verify your email, and complete any required background check or visitor questionnaire before booking a time. How often you can visit depends on custody level and housing unit setup. The scheduler may block dates once the person in custody has already used their weekly visit slot. Remote video visits are booked through the facility's approved system, and whether they count in addition to on-site visits can vary by unit.
