How to Visit an Inmate at the Austin County Jail in Bellville
Visiting at 417 N. Chesley Street runs on Friday and Sunday afternoons from 1 to 3 PM, and every visit starts with a call to 979-865-5321 on the Monday or Tuesday before; calls on other days do not get you on that week’s list. Your name has to appear on that prisoner’s approved list; bring a current government-issued picture ID, and you must not have been jailed in Bellville during the past six months.
The Sheriff’s rules are strict about dress and conduct: no shorts, hats, sunglasses, sleeveless or form-fitting clothes, skirts below the knee, no hand-carried items, food, drinks, gum or tobacco, and leaving the building ends your session. Visitors younger than 17 need an adult escort, each adult may bring just one child, and the escorting adult has to be listed too. Women in Austin County custody are currently housed at the Fort Bend County jail, where that jail’s visiting days apply; Bellville gives those days when you call.
