What are the current Hays County Jail on-site visitation hours and rules?

On-site visitation, excluding specific holidays (i.e. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day), will be held Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Tuesdays, the Hays County Jail will offer late afternoon/evening visitation hours. All visits will be held in 20-minute time slots. NOTE: All visitations will be held by appointment only.

If any deviation from normal visitation hours should occur, a notice will be placed at the entry of the affected area with further details to include modified visitation hours at least thirty (30) days in advance.

Appointments can be made by calling the visitation phone number at 512-393-7366 during visiting hours Monday-Friday or by emailing hays.visitation@co.hays.tx.us.

Visiting will be BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. No walk-ups will be accepted. Appointments will be scheduled up to one month in advance. Please arrive on time as visitors who arrive late will not be allowed to visit and will have to reschedule their appointment time. Inmates may not be eligible to receive a visit if they have violated certain rules and regulations of the facility or if they have not yet completed an inmate visitation card. Please note that inmates are allowed only two on-site visits per week, one visit per day.

Children that are under 17 years of age and under are not counted as adults and may visit only under the supervision of a Parent, Legal Guardian, or an Attorney. Your visitors are required to show a valid driver’s license or a state-issued identification card. You are limited to two (2) twenty-minute on-site visits each week with no more than three (3) individuals at one time including children.

Visitation will close promptly at the designated times. See Hays County Jail Visitation Hours of Operation above.
