Hidalgo County Jail Inmate Communication Overview
Hidalgo County Jail, also called the Hidalgo County Detention Center, is the county jail for Hidalgo County in Edinburg, Texas, operated by the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office. It serves the Rio Grande Valley and houses pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates.
Published sources disagree on the current inmate communications vendor, so families should confirm the phone and video provider directly with the jail before creating any paid account. Deposits to inmate trust accounts can be made through the county's official detention page, which links to the approved deposit service.
Visitation runs on a housing-unit schedule published by the county, with morning and afternoon sessions on weekdays and shorter weekend hours. As with any county jail, call ahead to confirm current visitation times and the correct vendor before traveling or funding an account.
