Hospitality Houses
For families traveling long distances to visit loved ones in TDCJ custody, hospitality houses can offer a place to rest, prepare, and feel supported before or after a unit visit.
The locations below may provide lodging, meals, visitation support, transportation guidance, or a safe place to connect with others who understand the experience. Availability, eligibility, and services vary by location, so we recommend contacting each hospitality house directly before making travel plans.
