Do you have to be *approved* in order to receive calls OR on a pre-existing list?

You must be an approved visitor to receive calls from inmates in Texas.

Can your loved one pay for the call themselves?

No.

Are YOU required to prepay for the calls?

No.

Are you allowed to use call-forwarding? Three way calling? Other call-features?

No.

Can your loved one call a toll free number? (800-numbers)

No.

Are you permitted to receive calls on cell phones?

No.

Will your loved ones have to schedule their calls or are they limited on how many calls they can make?

Calls are *earned* by good behavior, resulting in one 5-minute call a maximum of every 90 days.

Additional Info:

Calls from loved ones in Texas facilities are fewer and further between than the 90 days that the policy states and there is an officer standing there while you speak to your loved on via speaker phone.

I dont believe Texas prisons have phones yet. I belive that will be effectve in Sept of 08.  However, I do believe they get one 5 minute called every 90days depending on the warden, they can call collect.
