my man is staying at the Lewis Unit,In Woodsville TX and i was have yet to be able to visit him:(. i was wondering , does texas allow conjugal visits? or how far can you go at a visit? can i hold his hand? can i kiss him? will they tear me from him if im hugging for more than 5 seconds?lol i would really love to know,im hoping to visit him soon, pending when im on visitation list, but im so anxious and worried as to what to expect and what to do

Sorry but no conjugal visits in TX. You are allowed one hug and kiss at the beginning and end of your visit. Hand holding mostly depends on the guard over visitation. I have read where some units allow it and others don't. I hope you get to see him SOON!

:thumbsup:thanks girl! if it wasnt for this forum and all the ladies in the same boat, i wouldnt have any idea how to go thru all this, you ladies are great, and the men as well,you guys make these days a little easier to get through!!

We went for the first time last weekend, and the visitation was very nice on the general pop side. The guards were mostly ladies and very understanding. It was the first time I"ve touched my son since July 10th and of course I started crying the minute I saw him walk into my side of the "glass" curtain. They were really sweet about it, and my son was MORTIFIED! But, that's what mom's do best! LOL! We sat at a round table for four, with just the three of us, not like the noisy "cafeteria-style" atmosphere at all the other units we've visited. Very pleasant experience, overall . . . I'd give it an 8!!
