WOOD COUNTY JAIL, TX

Wood County Jail offers two visit types: in-person (Tuesday and Sunday) and video visits. To get an in-person spot, call and schedule no later than 6:00 PM the day before—you can only sign up for the next visitation date. Each visit lasts 20 minutes. Inmates may have up to two in-person visits per week, no more than one visit per day, and no more than two visitors at a time (children count toward this limit). Male groups start at 0800 with the last at 1530 (no groups from 1200–1300). Female groups run from 1600 to 1730. All visits are recorded and electronically monitored. Bring a valid photo ID, follow the dress code, and leave prohibited items behind—weapons, phones, tablets, recording devices, and smoking/vaping items aren't allowed. Violations can lead to discipline or a 30-day loss of visiting privileges.

Remote video visits at Wood County Jail must be scheduled and conducted through JailATM.com. During setup, you may need to verify your identity before your account is activated. Use a computer if possible—JailATM notes that mobile devices aren't supported, and you may run into problems on a phone or tablet. Messaging runs through the same platform and requires a subscription; when messaging is enabled, the vendor applies a $5 credit. Sending images? Follow the vendor's file rules (BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG, or TIFF) and keep files at 5120 KB or less. Messages expire 14 days after they're read.

Wood County Jail digitizes routine personal mail. Letters, photos, and drawings are scanned and delivered to the inmate through their secure tablet—physical originals aren't handed over. Some items are handled differently: packages and legal or privileged mail skip the scanning process and must be mailed directly to the facility. To avoid delays, include the full facility name and state, the inmate's unique identifier, and your full name and physical return address on the envelope. The jail posts these same instructions in Spanish. When preparing content to be scanned, refer to general Texas digital-mail guidance for typical limits and accepted file types.

Wood County Jail accepts inmate account deposits through JailATM. To send money, set up a JailATM account and provide the sender's Social Security Number. Visa and MasterCard are accepted, but prepaid cards aren't supported. Deposits are limited to $300.00 per resident per calendar week (Sunday–Saturday), though facility limits can vary—check with the jail for any local adjustments. Most deposits arrive within 24–48 hours of processing. If funds still don't show up after that window, contact the facility so they can investigate. JailATM transactions and commissary sales are generally final, so double-check the recipient and payment details before submitting.
