Texas Civil Commitment Center Overview
Texas Civil Commitment Center, often shortened in research notes as TCCC, is located at 2600 South Sunset Avenue in Littlefield, TX 79339. Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project records identify the facility name, the Lamb County location, and an owner or facility phone of (806) 485-8100. The facility is part of the Texas Civil Commitment Office system, with Management and Training Corporation described in the facility map as operating under state contract. It should be described as a secure civil commitment and treatment setting, not as the Lamb County Jail.
The population held there is civilly committed sexually violent predators under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 841. TCCO describes its agency role around intensive supervision and treatment of sexually violent predators, public safety, and victim protection. That legal and treatment framework is different from a criminal arrest, jail booking, bond setting, prosecutor filing, or TDCJ sentence. A person at TCCC is not there because the Lamb County Sheriff booked a routine arrest into the county jail roster.
The TCCO homepage is the matched source for the facility's civil commitment context. It explains the agency mission and helps separate TCCC from jail, prison, and immigration systems. See the Texas Civil Commitment Office homepage when the question is about the civil commitment agency rather than a county inmate search.
The agency source matters because the facility is physically in Littlefield, but it is not a Littlefield city jail, Lamb County Jail annex, TDCJ unit, BOP prison, or ICE detention center.
Texas Civil Commitment Center Capacity and Population
The TCCO June 2025 Sunset self-evaluation is the key capacity and population source cited in the research file. It states that the center opened on September 1, 2015, that Tiers One through Four of the treatment program take place at the Texas Civil Commitment Center in Littlefield, and that Tier Five is independent living in the community. The same report describes the center as the only confined treatment facility for sexually violent predators in Texas.
The capacity history in that self-evaluation began with 346 sexually violent predator beds, then expanded to 372, 398, and 488 after Tier 4/AGE housing and internal reconfiguration. The report also describes a 2020 agreement to expand capacity to 750 SVPs and gives a caseload snapshot of 496 SVPs at the Texas Civil Commitment Center in Littlefield around the report. A separate TDLR 2024 project record describes Phase II Tier III Housing as three identical housing units, 56,000 square feet, with a projected completion date of February 16, 2027 and an estimated cost of $13,000,000.
How to Look Up Records for Texas Civil Commitment Center
No public TCCO client locator was located in the official sources reviewed. Do not use the Lamb County jail roster, VINELink, or TDCJ inmate search as if they were civil commitment client rosters. VINELink is relevant to offender custody notifications in the county jail context. TDCJ is for sentenced state prison offenders. ICE and BOP are federal systems. TCCC records questions should be routed to TCCO's public-information process unless the question is simply confirming the facility address or project facts from TDLR records.
- Confirm that the question concerns Texas Civil Commitment Center, not Lamb County Jail or a sentenced TDCJ prison unit.
- Review the TCCO open-records page for agency public-information routing.
- Describe the requested record clearly, including the facility name, approximate dates, and whether the request concerns policy, program, facility, contract, or public administrative information.
- Use the TCCO state office contact information for agency records and use the TDLR project records only for construction, address, and owner-contact facts.
Texas public access runs through Government Code Chapter 552, but civil commitment records can involve privacy, treatment, victim, security, and statutory confidentiality limits. The safe phrasing is that records may be requestable through TCCO, not that client rosters, treatment records, photos, movements, or personal details are publicly available.
Texas Civil Commitment Center Address and Contact
The TDLR classroom project record confirms the Littlefield address and lists an owner or facility phone of (806) 485-8100. TCCO's state office footer gives the agency address, main email, phone, and fax for the Texas Civil Commitment Office. Because a public client locator, public visitation schedule, and public mail format were not located, contact should be matched to the question: facility phone for facility confirmation, TCCO for agency records, and Lamb County Sheriff only for county jail custody that is unrelated to civil commitment.

Visiting Someone at Texas Civil Commitment Center
A public TCCC visitation schedule was not located in the official sources reviewed. Do not assume county jail visitation rules, TDCJ prison visitation rules, ICE detention rules, or private jail-directory schedules apply. The facility serves a civil commitment treatment population, and visitation may be affected by TCCO policy, treatment tier, security classification, facility operations, approval requirements, and confidentiality rules. Before traveling to Littlefield, contact the facility or TCCO and ask what process applies to the specific person and visit type.
| Topic | Confirmed Finding | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| Public schedule | Not located in official public sources | Call the facility or TCCO before traveling |
| Visitor approval | Public rule not located | Ask whether approval, identification, or relationship verification is required |
| Mail format | Public format not located | Do not mail items until TCCO or the facility confirms the format |
| Money or commissary | No public deposit vendor or fee source located | Ask TCCO whether any resident account process exists |
| Legal or agency visits | Public procedure not located | Use TCCO or counsel-specific channels rather than county jail procedures |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Texas Civil Commitment Center
Official public sources reviewed for this build did not provide a resident mail template, resident phone vendor, video-call vendor, commissary system, online deposit vendor, fee schedule, package policy, or property-release procedure for TCCC. That is a meaningful records finding. The page should not borrow Lamb County Jail rules, TDCJ trust-fund rules, ICE deposit rules, or a private vendor's instructions without a direct TCCO source. Confirm all communication and property rules with TCCO or the facility before sending mail or funds.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | 2600 South Sunset Avenue, Littlefield, TX 79339 is the facility address, but no public resident mail format was located |
| Phone / Video | No official public resident phone or video provider was located in the reviewed sources |
| Money Deposit | No public resident deposit vendor, commissary vendor, limit, or fee table was located |
The matched TCCO records source for written agency questions is the TCCO open-records page.
This source is tied to records routing, not to a public client search. It supports using TCCO's public-information process where a jail-style roster is not available.
Admission and Treatment Context at Texas Civil Commitment Center
TCCC should not be described as a booking desk for street arrests. The TCCO self-evaluation says the center opened on September 1, 2015 and that the first four tiers of the treatment program take place at the Littlefield facility. Tier Five is independent living in the community. The facility's function is tied to civil commitment under Chapter 841 after the legal findings that place a person under TCCO supervision and treatment, not the sheriff's same-day intake process after a Lamb County arrest.
That difference changes the search strategy. If the person was arrested in Lamb County yesterday, start with the Lamb County Sheriff, VINELink, and the jail phone. If the person is serving a Texas prison sentence, use TDCJ. If the person may be in civil commitment after the criminal sentence and commitment process, use TCCO information and open-records channels. If the person is in federal or immigration custody, use BOP or ICE rather than TCCC.
About Texas Civil Commitment Center
TCCC is one of the most important local clarifications for Lamb County inmate-search pages because it has a Littlefield address and detention-like characteristics but does not function like the county jail. The TDLR records confirm the address and construction context. The 2022 classroom project record confirms 2600 South Sunset Avenue, Lamb County, and the facility or owner phone. The 2024 Phase II Tier III Housing record confirms a major housing construction project with three identical housing units and a projected 2027 completion date.
The TCCO homepage also states that the agency is under Texas Sunset Advisory Commission review and points to a self-evaluation report submitted August 29, 2025. That is a state-level oversight item for the agency connected to TCCC, not a Lamb County Jail reform story. No official source reviewed showed TCCC as a TDCJ prison unit, BOP facility, ICE detention facility, county jail annex, or public mugshot source.
The TDLR project page is the best image source for the facility address and owner-contact facts. See the TDLR TABS project record for the TCCC classroom project for the public construction record that confirms the facility location.
The project record supports the contact card and local facility identification, while TCCO remains the agency source for civil commitment records and policy questions.
Note: Confirm any visit, mail, record, or resident-contact rule with TCCO or the facility before acting on it.
