What is required to register?

In order to receive calls from an inmate, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) requires that you register and meet the following requirements:

1. The name on your driver's license must match the name on your telephone service enrollment.

2. You must agree to the following conditions:

• You are the registered owner of the phone that will accept calls from any inmate you register for
• You will allow inmate calls to this phone
• You are at least 18 years old
• You will not forward calls, make 3-way calls or use a speakerphone on calls received from any inmate you register for
• You understand that eligible inmates are not allowed to speak to any adult that is not listed on their Approved Calling List

3. If you don't possess a Texas Driver's License or State ID, you will be asked to upload a photo or photocopy of your out-of-state driver's license.

4. Once your phone number is successfully registered with TDCJ, you will need to set up your Securus online account at https://securustech.online/#/login. You will then need to add funds to your AdvanceConnect account and you are ready to receive phone calls.
