H. H. Coffield Unit Inmate Search

H. H. Coffield Unit Overview

H. H. Coffield Unit is a Texas Department of Criminal Justice prison at 2661 FM 2054 in Tennessee Colony. TDCJ locates it five miles southwest of Tennessee Colony on FM 2054 in Anderson County. The unit is part of the same large prison cluster that makes Anderson County different from many counties: local jail custody is handled in Palestine by the Anderson County Sheriff's Office, while several separate TDCJ units hold sentenced state prisoners.

The official TDCJ unit page lists Senior Warden Jamadre Enge, male inmate population, a June 1965 online date, a capacity of 4,139, and custody levels of G1 through G4, Security Detention, and Outside Trusty. TDCJ also lists Coffield as ACA accredited since May 2009. Those details support a prison-specific page, not a county-jail page. A person arrested yesterday in Anderson County is not automatically at Coffield; a person at Coffield is in TDCJ custody and should be searched through TDCJ systems.

The official source for these facility facts is the TDCJ unit directory: H. H. Coffield Unit directory. The image below shows the TDCJ page used for the unit address, phone number, capacity, administration, custody levels, and accreditation information.

Use the directory to confirm the facility's official listing, then use the TDCJ locator for person-specific custody information.

H. H. Coffield Unit Capacity and Population

TDCJ lists H. H. Coffield Unit with a capacity of 4,139. That is one of the largest listed capacities in the Anderson County facility map. It is a TDCJ prison capacity, not a county jail population count, and it should remain separate from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards numbers for the 300-bed Anderson County Jail.

The TDCJ unit page lists 518 total employees at Coffield, including 355 security employees, 114 non-security employees, 16 Windham Education employees, and contract medical and mental-health staffing of 30 medical and 3 mental-health employees. These staffing details reflect prison operations: security, education, medical services, unit administration, and other state-correctional functions that differ from the sheriff-operated local jail process.

How to Look Up an Inmate at H. H. Coffield Unit

The correct lookup system for Coffield is the TDCJ Inmate Information Search. TDCJ says the online search covers inmates currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility, is updated on working days, and is at least 24 hours old. That means it is reliable as the official public locator, but it is not a real-time door-control system. If travel, pickup, or an urgent family decision depends on the location, confirm with the unit after using the locator.

1. Open the TDCJ Inmate Information Search.
2. Search by TDCJ number or SID number if known, or enter the exact last name with at least the first initial.
3. Review the returned record for current facility, identifiers, sentence information, and any release or parole-related fields that TDCJ makes public.
4. Confirm that the current facility is H. H. Coffield Unit before using Coffield's address, phone, visitation, mail, or money processes.

Do not use the Anderson County Jail records process as the lookup route for a Coffield prisoner. The county jail handles local arrests and pretrial custody. Coffield is a state prison for TDCJ custody. A person may pass from the county jail to TDCJ after sentencing, but once TDCJ receives and assigns the person, the statewide prison locator becomes the public search tool.

H. H. Coffield Unit Address and Contact

Coffield's official address and phone come from TDCJ's unit page. Use the unit phone for facility-specific questions, and use TDCJ online resources for the statewide inmate locator, visitation framework, mail rules, trust deposits, and eCommDirect information. County clerk and sheriff records channels are useful for local arrest or court records, but they are not Coffield's prison records desk.

Visiting Someone at H. H. Coffield Unit

Coffield visitation follows TDCJ prison rules. Visits generally require visitor approval and scheduling through TDCJ processes, and the visitor must comply with TDCJ identification, dress, conduct, and contraband rules. This is not the Anderson County Jail's two 20-minute weekly Tarmactech visit process, and Coffield visitors should not rely on the jail's local visitation PDF for prison visits.

Before traveling to FM 2054, search TDCJ, confirm that Coffield is still the current facility, and check current TDCJ visitation guidance. Prison schedules and approvals can be affected by custody level, disciplinary status, unit operations, medical restrictions, security detention, holidays, or temporary lockdowns. The locator's working-day update schedule means a transfer may not immediately appear online.

Mail, Phone, and Money at H. H. Coffield Unit

Mail and money for Coffield should follow TDCJ statewide prison rules. A Coffield prisoner should not receive ordinary mail through Anderson County Jail's Longview mail-scanning address, and county jail vendors such as JailATM and NCIC are not the stated systems for TDCJ prison deposits or messaging. Use TDCJ instructions for mail format, trust fund deposits, phone account rules, and eCommDirect eligibility.

When sending mail, include the inmate's name and TDCJ number in the format required by TDCJ and use the current unit address. Mail rules can limit content, enclosures, photographs, publications, and packaging. For money, use TDCJ-approved deposit options and check eligibility before attempting eCommDirect purchases. For phone communication, follow TDCJ account and approval rules rather than county jail phone practices.

Reception and Classification at H. H. Coffield Unit

Coffield does not perform local street-arrest booking for Anderson County. Its intake and movement context is TDCJ reception, assignment, transfer, and classification. A prisoner may be assigned or moved to Coffield after sentencing and TDCJ processing. Classification then concerns custody level, housing, security detention status, outside trusty eligibility, work and program assignment, medical or mental-health needs, and unit-level restrictions.

The county-to-state boundary matters in Anderson County because local custody and prison custody exist near each other geographically. The Anderson County Jail may still hold a person who has been sentenced to TDCJ while paperwork or transport is pending. That person is counted in county jail reports until transfer. After arrival in TDCJ, Coffield's unit listing and the statewide locator become the correct public path.

About H. H. Coffield Unit

Coffield has been online since June 1965 and is one of the established TDCJ units in the Tennessee Colony area. TDCJ lists ACA accreditation since May 2009 and identifies Windham Education staffing, medical staffing, and mental-health staffing. Those details provide a more specific picture than a generic prison listing: Coffield is a large male TDCJ unit with multiple custody levels and prison operations.

Anderson County's facility map can confuse searchers because several TDCJ units sit inside the county. Coffield, Beto, Gurney, Michael, and Powledge are state prison facilities, while the Anderson County Jail is the sheriff-run local jail in Palestine. The same person's record trail may include local booking, district or county court charges, transfer paperwork, and a TDCJ profile, but those are different record systems. Keeping them separate prevents errors in custody checks, visitation planning, and mail routing.
