East Texas Treatment Facility Overview
East Texas Treatment Facility is located at 900 Industrial Drive in Henderson. The research identifies it as a Texas Department of Criminal Justice-linked facility operated under TDCJ contract by Management & Training Corporation. Its function is treatment and sanction custody, including substance-abuse felony punishment and intermediate-sanction style assignments. That role must be kept separate from the sheriff-operated Rusk County Jail, which handles current county inmates and recent local bookings.
A person housed at East Texas Treatment Facility may have reached the unit through a court order, parole or supervision status, treatment placement, or TDCJ assignment. The placement may relate to a Rusk County case, but the facility can hold people from outside Rusk County as well. The county name in the facility location does not prove the person's court record is in Rusk County. Court documents remain with the clerk and court that handled the case, while custody location is checked through TDCJ and the unit.

East Texas Treatment Facility Capacity and Population
The TDCJ unit directory lists East Texas Treatment Facility with a capacity of 2,236. That is a TDCJ facility capacity, not a Rusk County Jail population number. It should not be added to the TCJS county jail count when discussing local pretrial custody. The Rusk County Jail population count covers the sheriff-operated jail; East Texas Treatment Facility is part of the state correctional and treatment framework.
The research file did not provide a current daily population count for this facility. Because no sourced occupancy figure was available, this page does not state a current population or occupancy percentage. For an individual search, the key facts are whether the TDCJ locator returns the person, whether the current facility field shows East Texas Treatment Facility, and whether the unit confirms that the person is still eligible for the planned visit, pickup, call, or mail contact.
How to Look Up an Inmate at East Texas Treatment Facility
Use the TDCJ inmate search, not the Rusk County jail roster, to search for a person assigned to East Texas Treatment Facility. The locator accepts one or more identifying fields: last name, first name, TDCJ number, SID number, gender, and race. It is a statewide locator for sentenced state inmates and people assigned to TDCJ facilities, including TDCJ-linked treatment and sanction facilities in Rusk County.
- Open the TDCJ inmate search and enter a TDCJ number or SID number if one is available.
- When searching by name, narrow common names with gender or race fields where appropriate.
- Review the current facility field to see whether East Texas Treatment Facility is listed.
- Call 903-655-3300 before travel, especially for visitation, release pickup, treatment schedule concerns, or recent movement.
TDCJ warns that its online information is updated on working days only and is at least 24 hours old. That warning is especially important for a treatment facility because program movement, sanctions, court orders, or supervision changes can affect status. If a person is not found in TDCJ, check whether they are still in the county jail, in another Texas county, in federal custody through BOP, in immigration detention through ICE ODLS, or listed for notification through Texas VINELink.
East Texas Treatment Facility Address and Contact
Use the facility phone for questions about current unit status, visitation eligibility, approved visitor lists, mail routing, and other unit-specific details. Use TDCJ statewide pages for general rules and the TDCJ locator for public inmate search. Rusk County Jail staff should not be treated as the operating authority for this facility because East Texas Treatment Facility is a TDCJ-linked contract facility.

Visiting Someone at East Texas Treatment Facility
Use TDCJ visitation rules for East Texas Treatment Facility. Visitors should expect approval requirements, scheduling rules, photo identification, dress-code standards, and unit-level restrictions. Because this is a treatment and sanction-style facility, movement and program schedules may affect visits differently than an ordinary county jail. Confirm the unit status before travel even when the TDCJ locator shows the person assigned there.
| Visitation Item | East Texas Treatment Facility Instruction | Source Path |
|---|---|---|
| Approval | Follow TDCJ approved-visitor procedures before scheduling. | TDCJ visitation |
| Schedule | Confirm current facility schedule and any treatment-related limits. | Unit phone |
| Identification | Bring current photo identification and follow unit entry instructions. | TDCJ visitation |
| Dress code | Use TDCJ standards and any unit-specific direction. | TDCJ visitation |
| Lockdowns or movement | Call before travel because program status can affect access. | Unit phone |
Mail, Phone, and Money at East Texas Treatment Facility
Mail, phone, and money rules come from TDCJ statewide resources. Mail should follow TDCJ inmate mail rules and include the person's name, TDCJ number, and correct unit address. Deposits should use the TDCJ Inmate Trust Fund and approved channels. Phone service, messaging, and electronic services follow TDCJ vendor rules, not Rusk County Jail procedures.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | Use the inmate name, TDCJ number, and East Texas Treatment Facility unit address under TDCJ mail rules. |
| Phone / Messaging | Use TDCJ phone and messaging resources; confirm restrictions with the unit. |
| Money Deposit | Use TDCJ Inmate Trust Fund approved deposit channels. |
| Notifications | Use Texas VINELink for custody notification when available. |
Treatment Assignment and Intake at East Texas Treatment Facility
East Texas Treatment Facility does not function as the public booking point for new Rusk County arrests. A person generally reaches the facility through TDCJ assignment, treatment placement, court or supervision action, or sanction-related custody. That process can happen after a county jail stay, but the county jail roster is not the long-term locator once TDCJ receives the person.
For families, the most common confusion is between charges and custody location. A court record may explain why treatment placement or sanction custody was ordered, but the TDCJ locator and facility phone answer where the person is currently assigned. If the court case was filed in Rusk County, the District Clerk, County Court at Law, iDocket, or other court resources may help with the case record. If the case was filed elsewhere, those records will not move to Rusk County just because the facility is physically in Henderson.
About East Texas Treatment Facility
East Texas Treatment Facility should be described around treatment and sanction custody. The research identifies it as a substance-abuse felony punishment, treatment, and intermediate-sanction style facility with TDCJ supervision and contract operation. That makes it different from Bradshaw State Jail's state-jail-felony role and from Billy Moore's minimum-security correctional center role. It also makes it very different from Rusk County Jail, which is the county's pretrial and short-term detention facility.
The research did not locate a facility-specific public daily population figure, schedule detail, or treatment-program menu to reproduce. The correct way to preserve accuracy is to use the sourced capacity and contact details, TDCJ statewide rules for mail, visitation, and money, and the unit phone for current operational details.
Note: Confirm TDCJ assignment, treatment schedule restrictions, and visitation status before traveling to the Henderson unit.
