Price Daniel Unit Custody
Price Daniel Unit, also listed by TDCJ as Daniel (DL), is a male state prison unit physically located in Scurry County. It is not the Scurry County Jail and it is not a city holding facility. A person appears in the TDCJ system after commitment to state custody. A new arrest, first appearance, local bond question, or county warrant should still be checked through Scurry County Jail.
The TDCJ unit page places Daniel in Region V and states that the unit has been ACA accredited since April 2005. Its location description is specific to the Snyder area: four miles east of Snyder on Highway 180 and one mile north of CR 1673 in Scurry County. The facility functions listed by TDCJ include edible and field crops, security horses, security pack canines, a freight terminal and Snyder Distribution Center, unit maintenance, Windham Region V Administrative Office, and community work projects.
Those functions help explain why a state-prison page should not read like a county jail page. Price Daniel Unit is part of a statewide corrections network. It uses TDCJ inmate-search data, TDCJ visitation rules, TDCJ offender-information resources, and unit-level contact. County jail phone staff are useful only when a person is still in county custody or waiting for transfer.
The official TDCJ Price Daniel Unit page identifies Daniel (DL), location, accreditation, and facility functions.
The TDCJ unit page is the best source for confirming whether family contact should be directed to Daniel rather than Scurry County Jail.
Price Daniel Unit Inmate Search
The correct lookup tool for Price Daniel Unit is the TDCJ inmate search. It covers inmates currently incarcerated in a TDCJ facility. TDCJ warns that the public search is updated on working days only and that information is at least 24 hours old. That delay matters when a person has just moved from a county jail to the state system or when a release or transfer is recent.
- Open the TDCJ inmate search when the person is believed to be in sentenced state custody.
- Search by last name and at least a first initial, or use a TDCJ number or SID number when known.
- Review the result for unit of assignment. Price Daniel Unit may appear as Daniel or DL in TDCJ context.
- Open the detail profile for projected release, parole eligibility, visitation eligibility, and offense history.
- Call the unit before travel or pickup because TDCJ cautions relatives to confirm with the assigned facility.
A TDCJ search is not a county pretrial search. If the person was arrested by a Scurry County officer and has not been sentenced to TDCJ, start with Scurry County Jail. If the TDCJ result shows another facility, use that assigned unit instead of Price Daniel Unit. State-prison movement can occur after classification, transfer, medical needs, bed assignment, or other TDCJ decisions.
| TDCJ Search Field | Type | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Last Name | Text | Required with at least first initial when searching by name |
| First Name | Text | At least first initial is used with last name |
| TDCJ Number | Text | Can be used instead of a name search |
| SID Number | Text | Can be used instead of a name search |
| Gender and Race | Dropdowns | Optional filters in the TDCJ search form |
Price Daniel Unit Contact
Price Daniel Unit contact should be used for state-prison questions tied to a person assigned to Daniel. That includes unit visitation, facility confirmation, mail questions, and practical questions that TDCJ tells families to confirm before traveling. It should not be used as the first contact for a person who was just arrested in Snyder or elsewhere in Scurry County.

Price Daniel Unit Visitation
TDCJ visitation is statewide and different from county jail visiting. Price Daniel Unit visitors should use the TDCJ visitation process, confirm offender eligibility, and check approval or scheduling rules before travel. A person housed at Daniel may have a profile field for visitation eligibility, but that does not remove the need to follow the statewide visitor process and unit instructions.
The research did not provide a Daniel-only day-by-day visiting table. For that reason, the accurate schedule table should point to TDCJ statewide rules and unit confirmation rather than inventing a local Saturday, Sunday, or weekday window. Call the unit if travel plans depend on the current visitation list, a special visit, a holiday rule, or a temporary restriction.
| Visitation Item | Rule Source | What to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Visitor approval | TDCJ visitation | Whether the visitor is approved for the offender |
| Scheduling | TDCJ statewide visitation process | Current appointment or unit-specific requirement |
| Offender eligibility | TDCJ inmate profile and unit staff | Whether the prisoner may receive visits |
| Travel confirmation | Price Daniel Unit phone | Current unit status before arrival |
The TDCJ visitation page explains statewide prison visitation rules for Price Daniel Unit and other Texas prisons.
The statewide visitation source is important because Price Daniel Unit does not operate under the Scurry County Jail visiting schedule.
Price Daniel Unit Mail
Mail, phone, and money questions for Price Daniel Unit belong with TDCJ offender information resources and the assigned unit. The Scurry County Jail deposit process, JailATM kiosk, and CIDNET video-visit rules are county jail resources. They should not be copied onto Daniel because Daniel is a state prison. TDCJ has separate statewide resources for inmate search, mail, phone, visitation, release definitions, and family services.
| Service | Correct System | County Jail Rule Applies? |
|---|---|---|
| TDCJ offender information and unit instructions | No | |
| Phone | TDCJ offender resources | No |
| Money or trust account | TDCJ statewide process | No |
| Video or in-person jail visit | Scurry County Jail rules | Only for county jail inmates, not Daniel |
The research did not provide a Price Daniel Unit fee table with exact deposit charges. Do not assume the JailATM fees or limits from the county jail apply to TDCJ. Review the current TDCJ family and offender information pages before sending funds or mail.
Scurry County Jail Versus Daniel
Scurry County has two different custody systems that are often confused. Scurry County Jail handles local pretrial detainees, convicted misdemeanants, parole holds, state-jail-felony detainees, TDCJ-ready prisoners waiting on transfer, and contract in-state county inmates. Price Daniel Unit holds sentenced male state prisoners in TDCJ custody. The lookup tool changes when custody changes.
| Question | Scurry County Jail | Price Daniel Unit |
|---|---|---|
| New local arrest | Start with jail phone | Not the first lookup path |
| Sentenced state prisoner | Only if awaiting transfer | Use TDCJ inmate search |
| Roster or locator | No official online roster found | TDCJ public inmate search |
| Visitation rules | County jail rules and CIDNET video | TDCJ visitation process |
If a person moved from local custody to state prison, the Scurry County Jail contact path may explain the transfer stage, but the TDCJ locator becomes the main custody search after state assignment.
Price Daniel Unit Records
A TDCJ profile can show the TDCJ number, SID number, name, race, gender, age, maximum sentence date, current facility, projected release date, parole eligibility date, visitation eligibility, parole review link, and offense history. The inspected TDCJ detail output did not show a county booking mugshot. State-prison records and county booking-photo records are different record types.
Projected release and parole eligibility fields should be read with care. TDCJ provides definitions for those terms, and release dates can be affected by sentence structure, credits, parole decisions, warrants, or later changes. A public profile is a useful starting point, but the assigned unit and official TDCJ resources should be used before travel, pickup, mail, or money decisions.
- TDCJ
- The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the state prison agency.
- SID Number
- A state identification number that can help search a state custody record.
- Projected Release Date
- A TDCJ profile field that should be checked against TDCJ definitions and current unit status.
- Parole Eligibility
- A date or status tied to parole review, not a guarantee of release.
About Price Daniel Unit
Price Daniel Unit adds state-prison context to Scurry County inmate searches. It is physically in the county, but its records, custody rules, and release information are state records. The unit's ACA accreditation since April 2005, agricultural functions, security horses and canines, freight terminal, Snyder Distribution Center, maintenance work, Windham Region V Administrative Office, and community work projects are all TDCJ unit details, not county jail programs.
Do not use county jail assumptions for Daniel. A sentenced state prisoner at Price Daniel Unit is looked up through TDCJ, visited under TDCJ rules, and tracked by TDCJ custody fields. A person in the Scurry County Jail population may later transfer to TDCJ, but the state record starts after TDCJ custody takes over.
Note: Confirm unit assignment, visitation eligibility, and travel rules with TDCJ before going to Price Daniel Unit.
