Harris County Jail does not offer regular in-person visitation on Mondays. Visits are generally available Tuesday through Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. and 7:30 to 10 p.m., but your actual visitation day depends on the inmate's facility and floor or pod. Because inmates can be transferred, always verify the person's current housing location before scheduling a visit.
Visiting an inmate in Harris County requires knowing exactly where the person is housed. A transfer to another floor, jail building, or contract facility can change the visitation schedule and available options.
Overcrowding means that some inmates are housed in contract jails outside Harris County. They may be housed in Beaumont or even out of state in Louisiana or Mississippi.
If this happens, online visitation may be your only realistic option.

Can You Visit a Harris County Inmate Online?
Remote video visitation through Harris County is currently available only for inmates housed at 700 N. San Jacinto. If the inmate is housed at another Harris County facility or an out-of-county contract jail, different visitation options and providers may apply.
Video visits can be a lifeline for friends and family members. Due to overcrowding, some inmates are housed as far away as Mississippi, making regular visits difficult.
Standard Harris County Jail in-person visits and remote Securus visits are generally 20 minutes. Contract-jail visitation periods vary by facility.
If your friend or family member is housed outside of Harris County, contact that facility for the most up-to-date information.
Assume non-attorney jail communications are monitored and may be recorded. Do not discuss the facts of a pending criminal case, alleged conduct, defenses, witnesses, or anything else that could be used as evidence. Attorney-client communications are subject to different rules.

Harris County Jail Dress Code

- Revealing or transparent garments
- Sleeves shorter than halfway down the upper arm
- Spandex or tights without a skirt or shorts
- Skirts, dresses, or shorts that are above mid-thigh

What Happens if You Violate Visitation Rules?
Harris County may deny, revoke, limit, suspend, or terminate visitation privileges if visitors do not follow jail rules or misuse the visitation system. Bringing or attempting to provide prohibited substances or items to an inmate can also result in criminal consequences.
Verify the Inmate's Location Before You Visit
Harris County inmates may be transferred between local jail buildings or to contract facilities in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi. A transfer can change the visitation schedule, location, and remote-visit options.
Because jail housing assignments and visitation schedules can change, verify current information with the Harris County Sheriff's Office or the contract facility before traveling.
