FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Dick Ware Transfer Facility?
Visitation is controlled by facility and TDCJ rules, including approved visitor lists, visiting hours, and security screening. Call ahead or check the official visitation information before traveling, because schedules can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting Dick Ware Transfer Facility?
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a driver license, state ID, passport, or military ID. Visitors should follow dress rules and leave prohibited items in their vehicle or at home.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
Inmates generally cannot receive incoming calls. Phone or video services, when available, are handled through the approved correctional communications provider, and the inmate may need to add you to an approved contact list.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Use the inmate’s full name, TDCJ number if known, and the facility mailing address. Mail is inspected, and items such as cash, contraband, or unapproved enclosures may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Inmates may be able to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies using money in their trust account. Deposits must be made through approved TDCJ methods, and spending limits or restrictions may apply.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Dick Ware Transfer Facility?
This facility generally houses state inmates in TDCJ custody, so bail is usually not handled here. If the person has an active county case, contact the court, sheriff’s office, or county jail where the case is pending for bond instructions.
What happens during the intake process at Dick Ware Transfer Facility and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, review records, inventory property, complete medical screening, and assign housing or transfer status. Public records may take several hours or longer to appear or update after arrival, so check the official search tool again if the person is not listed right away.
