Start With What You Know
I have a facility or office name
Confirm the exact name before traveling. Houston Contract Detention Facility at 15850 Export Plaza Drive is different from Houston Service Processing Center, which EOIR lists at 5520 Greens Road, and from Conroe facilities.
An immigration bond is already set
You can start our application remotely. Review Texas bond costs separately from the facility's visiting and personal-account rules.
Houston Processing Center — Address and Contact
Houston Contract Detention Facility and Houston Processing Center refer to the facility below. These details do not prove that a particular person is currently held here.
The place someone was arrested may not be the place they are detained today. ICE transfers can occur. Check the locator result and contact the facility before traveling, mailing documents or arranging pickup.

Visiting, Mail and Communication
Visiting and Contacting Someone
Visiting hours, identification requirements, mail procedures and communication options can change. CoreCivic publishes instructions for this facility. Review them and call the facility before making a trip.
- Check current visiting rules and identification requirements.
- Ask the facility about phone calls, messages and mail.
- Deposits for calls or personal expenses are not immigration bond payments.
The Facility, ICE Office and Court Have Different Roles
These are different functions and may be at different addresses. An ICE field office is not automatically the place where someone is detained.
Conroe Immigration Court — confirm the assigned court
EOIR's administrative list identifies Houston Contract Detention Facility as a hearing location associated with Conroe Immigration Court. That listing does not establish an individual's assigned court, hearing mode or date. Check the latest hearing notice or contact the assigned court.
