Which number do I call about someone at Hutto?
ICE's page carries two numbers. (512) 218-3100 is the facility main line, while (512) 218-2400, also the number CoreCivic publishes, takes detainee questions from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and urgent messages, because people here cannot take incoming calls. Check the ICE locator first; nothing on this page places any person at Hutto. Otherwise phone the San Antonio Field Office at (210) 283-4750. ICE sends tablet messaging to CoreCivic's Talton link, and CoreCivic gives 1-866-348-6231 for phone problems. Other sites are in the Texas facility list.
What day can I visit a particular housing unit?
Ask for the unit letter first, because ICE's table runs by unit. High custody units F and G have Sunday 12 to 4 p.m., Monday 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Saturday 5 to 8 p.m. Low custody examples: B and J on Tuesday 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Thursday 12 to 4 p.m. and Friday 5 to 8 p.m. Units A, C, D, E, H, K and L have their own slots, so read the full table. CoreCivic's undated PDF shows other hours beside a 2020 COVID notice; ICE's table, updated 10/26/2026, is the newer source.
What rules apply to a visit or a package?
ICE states that family and social visits at Hutto are contact visits. Adults need a valid, verifiable government ID, and minors must stay with an adult guardian aged 18 or older. A dress code covers shorts, skirts, sheer clothing, tops and shoes. Phones stay out of secure areas, everyone passes a pat-down, belongings inspection and metal scan, and nothing may be handed to the person. ICE limits packages to items needed for travel or release, with Deportation Officer approval, and refuses electronics. CoreCivic's PDF instead allows books and appropriate clothes with prior approval, so ask before shipping anything.
Where do letters and money go?
Letters go to PO Box 1063, Taylor, Texas 76574, with the last four digits of the A-number and your name and address. ICE's page prints ZIP 76754 for this box, apparently a typo, since its street address and CoreCivic both show 76574. Do not mail money to Taylor: CoreCivic says cash, checks and money orders are not accepted there. Send only money orders or cashier's checks, with no letters, to CORECIVIC, name and commissary number, Facility-HUTTO, P.O. Box 16545, Atlanta, GA 30321-0545. Western Union takes deposits at 1-800-634-3422. CoreCivic's PDF is partly old, so confirm first.
How do lawyers visit, and which court is listed?
Legal visits run 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday and 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekends, booked through ERO eFile in 60-minute blocks; walk-ins are allowed but scheduled visits go first. Video and confidential calls use the same hours and need booking at least 24 hours ahead. In exigent cases, write to HuttoVAV@corecivic.com. EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, puts the Hutto Residential Facility, Taylor, TX under the Pearsall Immigration Court. Custody questions belong in the bond hearing guide.
