In-person visitation schedule
According to the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office page, in-person visits are available on Sundays and Mondays only. Starting April 5, 2026, visitation moved from the Shepherd Mullens Correctional Visitation Center to the McLennan County Jail Bond Office lobby.
| Day | Hours | Registration closes |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. | 4:30 p.m. |
| Monday | 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. | 7:30 p.m. |
Each inmate is allowed two visits of 30 minutes each. To visit in person you must be on the inmate’s visitation list and have an account with Getting Out.
Remote video visits
Remote visitation runs Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. through the Getting Out and Go Visit apps. For families outside Waco, this is usually the easiest way to talk before a bond is posted.
Sending mail to someone in the McLennan County Jail
Since November 1, 2022, personal mail is scanned and delivered digitally to the inmate’s tablet. Personal mail goes to a processing address, not the jail:
McLennan County Jail, TX
Inmate full name and SO number
PO Box 247
Phoenix, MD 21131
Use the full facility name with no abbreviations, the inmate’s full name and identifier, and your own full name and address. Send only personal mail such as letters, pictures and drawings. Attorney-client mail, packages and parcels still go directly to the facility.
If you are trying to get them out
Visiting and bonding out are handled separately. Confirm the booking, charge and bail amount on the official jail roster search or by calling jail intake at (254) 757-5120, then contact a licensed bail bond company from the county active bail bonding agencies roster. The bond is filed at the jail’s bond office; see how posting bail works.
