How to Contact an Inmate at WYNNE UNIT (TX)
Trying to stay in touch with someone at the Wynne Unit? Start with three basics: what visit types the unit currently supports, getting your phone number registered for calls, and confirming you're eligible to send money.
TDCJ uses an Online Visitation Scheduler that shows multiple visit types. You may see options like Regular, Contact, and Video/Tablet listed. Not every type is available at every unit, so what you can actually request for the Wynne Unit depends on what the system offers for that location and the inmate's specific situation.
Phone calls require registration first. To receive calls from a TDCJ inmate, register your phone number at texasprisonphone.com. Skip this step and calls won't come through.
Money deposits: Effective September 1, 2020, only senders on an inmate’s approved visitor list or the Inmate Telephone List are allowed to deposit money to inmates.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Check the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler to see which visit types are currently available for the Wynne Unit (the scheduler lists four types, but not all are available at every unit).
- ✓ If you want to receive phone calls, register your telephone number at texasprisonphone.com.
- ✓ Before you try to deposit money, make sure the sender is on the inmate’s approved visitor list or the Inmate Telephone List (this restriction has been in effect since September 1, 2020).
Think of visitation as "check first, then schedule." The scheduler lists four visit types (Regular, Contact, Video/Tablet, and others), but the Wynne Unit may not offer every option at all times. Check what's actually available for your situation before making plans around a specific visit type.
Check the TDCJ Online Visitation Scheduler right before you act. It lists four visit types, but availability varies by unit and other factors. Look at what it currently shows for the Wynne Unit rather than assuming a specific option will be offered.
For phone contact, double-check that your number is registered at texasprisonphone.com. Make sure you entered the exact phone number you plan to answer on. Without a completed registration, you could end up waiting for calls that never connect.
Before sending money: Confirm you are on the inmate’s approved visitor list or the Inmate Telephone List. Since September 1, 2020, only people on one of those lists can deposit funds.
