Locate Reverend C.A. Holliday Unit Inmates

Reverend C.A. Holliday Unit Overview

TDCJ's Holliday Unit page lists Reverend C.A. Holliday Unit as a Correctional Institutions Division prison in Walker County. It is a male TDCJ facility with G1, G2, and transient custody levels. TDCJ also identifies the unit as having offender intake and receiving operations, plus substance-abuse screening and assessment. That role is different from Walker County Jail, which holds local arrestees before court action, bond, release, or transfer.

Holliday's location is described by TDCJ as one-half mile north of Highway 30 on the west feeder road of IH-45. The unit is co-located with the Wynne Unit on a large shared acreage footprint, but it has its own address and phone. For public search purposes, the key point is custody type. Holliday Unit inmates are searched through TDCJ Inmate Search or IVSS. Walker County Odyssey jail records are not the correct public lookup for a person already in TDCJ custody at Holliday.

The official TDCJ Holliday Unit page is the source for the unit address, capacity, custody levels, intake role, and programs.

The TDCJ unit page supports the prison-specific content here, including the intake and substance-abuse screening details that make Holliday distinct from other Walker County prisons.

Holliday Unit Inmate Capacity

TDCJ lists Reverend C.A. Holliday Unit with a capacity of 2,120. That is a state-prison capacity figure, not a county jail population count. The June 2026 county jail population reports from the Texas Commission on Jail Standards cover Walker County Jail, while TDCJ unit pages provide the sourced capacities for state prisons in Walker County. The research did not locate a current public daily population figure for Holliday Unit, so the capacity block should not imply a live count.

Walker County's prison capacity is much larger than its county jail capacity because Huntsville is a major TDCJ hub. Holliday contributes one part of that local state-prison footprint. It also has a reception role that can affect how a family member reads a locator result. A person may be at Holliday during intake, assessment, or transition before later movement to another TDCJ unit.

Search Holliday Unit Inmates

Use TDCJ Inmate Search for the public prison locator. The statewide locator is designed for sentenced state custody, including Walker County state prisons such as Holliday, Byrd, Ellis, Estelle, Goree, Huntsville, and Wynne. TDCJ identifies search fields by last name, first name, TDCJ number, and SID number. If the number is unknown, a name search can be narrowed with other known identifiers, but exact spelling helps.

1. Open the TDCJ Inmate Search start page and choose a number search or name search.
2. Enter a TDCJ number, SID number, or the person's first and last name.
3. Review the result for current location, TDCJ number, SID, offense information, and projected release date if shown.
4. Confirm whether the location reads Reverend C.A. Holliday Unit or another TDCJ unit.
5. Use TDCJ IVSS for offender notifications or victim-services status tracking.

Holliday Unit Address and Contact

The official unit page gives a dedicated address and phone for Reverend C.A. Holliday Unit. Use that contact for facility-specific questions such as unit location, public visiting instructions, and general routing. Use TDCJ central inmate information for statewide search questions. Do not send county jail mail or county jail money orders to Holliday unless TDCJ itself directs a specific process for that person.

Holliday Unit Visitation Rules

Holliday is a TDCJ prison, so visitation follows state-prison approval and scheduling procedures rather than the Walker County Jail NCIC schedule. The research file confirms that Walker County Jail visitation hours apply to the county jail only. For Holliday, use TDCJ visitation guidance and the unit phone before travel, because eligibility, scheduling, visitor approval, identification, dress rules, and special visit rules can depend on the inmate's custody level and current status.

Holliday Unit Mail and Money

TDCJ mail, phone, and money rules should be used for Holliday Unit. The Walker County Jail mail address in Longview, the Walker County Jail commissary money-order PO Box, TigerDeposits, and the jail's no-money-at-facility rule are county jail procedures. They should not be copied onto a Holliday Unit inmate unless TDCJ has given matching instructions. The research did not provide a Holliday-specific fee table, so no dollar amount should be invented.

When writing or sending funds, confirm the person's current TDCJ number and location first. Intake and transient status can change. If the inmate has moved from Holliday to another unit, TDCJ records should guide the correct address and any approved deposit route.

Holliday Unit Programs

Holliday's page-specific operations include offender intake and receiving, plus substance-abuse screening and assessment. Medical capabilities include ambulatory medical, dental, and mental-health services, electronic specialty clinics, DMS, and UTMB-managed care. These details are important for a state-prison page because they explain why a person may be assigned to Holliday for intake, screening, or transition rather than as a final long-term housing placement.

TDCJ program information in the research lists literacy and GED, CHANGES pre-release, Adult Education Program upon availability, chaplaincy, community tours, faith-based dormitory, GO KIDS, peer education, and reentry planning. These programs are not promises of eligibility for each inmate. Custody level, sentence status, disciplinary status, medical status, and current unit operations can affect access.

Transient

A custody or movement status that may involve temporary placement before transfer or reassignment.

SID number

A state identification number used in Texas criminal justice records and TDCJ searches.

Reentry planning

Programming tied to preparation for release, supervision, or transition from custody.

Holliday Unit Transfer Context

A person arrested in Walker County may first appear in the county jail system. If convicted and sentenced to TDCJ, that person may later be searched through TDCJ systems and may be assigned to Holliday or another prison unit. Walker County Jail records and TDCJ records can overlap during transfer timing, but they are maintained by different agencies. For local pretrial custody, use county jail records. For sentenced prison custody, use TDCJ.

Holliday is also co-located with John M. Wynne Unit on shared acreage, and the research notes shared agricultural operations in the Wynne and Holliday footprint. That local detail can make map searches confusing. The public locator result, not just a map pin, should decide which unit holds the person.
