Find Choice Moore Unit Inmates

Choice Moore Unit Overview

Choice Moore Unit, listed by TDCJ as Moore, C. (CM), is a Correctional Institutions Division prison in Bonham. It is one of two TDCJ units physically located in Fannin County, along with Buster Cole Unit. Moore is a state facility for male inmates in TDCJ custody. It is not the Fannin County Jail, and it should not be described as the place where a newly arrested person is booked on a local charge.

TDCJ lists Moore's address, phone, capacity, custody levels, accreditation, senior warden, staffing, medical services, and program details. The unit is west of Bonham off the FM 87 area and is co-located with Cole on shared acreage. A Fannin County arrest may begin at the county jail, then continue through court. Only after conviction, sentence, and transfer does the state-prison locator become the right tool. For county booking records before transfer, the county jail and public-information routes remain separate.

The official TDCJ Choice Moore Unit page gives the facility information shown in the screenshot below.

The TDCJ source is the proper reference for Moore's state-prison capacity, custody levels, programs, and contact information.

Choice Moore Unit Capacity

TDCJ lists Choice Moore Unit with a capacity of 1,224. The unit page lists male inmates and custody levels G1 and G2. Those custody labels are state-prison categories, not county jail housing areas. The research does not give a current same-day headcount for Moore, so the capacity number should be used as the rated capacity from the official unit page, not as today's exact population.

Moore's state capacity is separate from the Fannin County Jail's TCJS population report. TDCJ is the source for state custody and unit assignment, while the county jail phone and VINE route serve local county custody. A searcher who only knows "Bonham" can easily mix the systems because the jail, Cole, and Moore are all in the same local area.

Search Choice Moore Unit Inmates

Use the TDCJ inmate search to find someone assigned to Choice Moore Unit. The search can use a name, TDCJ number, or SID number. A profile may show the inmate's current facility, state identifiers, offense or conviction information, sentence data, projected release, parole eligibility, or discharge information if available.

The Fannin County jail roster path is not the main search tool for Moore. If the person was recently arrested in Fannin County and no TDCJ result appears, check the county jail route first. If a TDCJ profile shows Moore as the current unit, then mail, money, visits, and records questions should follow TDCJ rules. State inmate photos, when shown, are also not county booking mugshots.

1. Open the official TDCJ inmate search page.
2. Search by last name and first name, or use a TDCJ number or SID number.
3. Open the matching result and verify the current facility is Moore or CM.
4. Review sentence, offense, projected release, parole, and current-unit fields if shown.
5. Call Choice Moore Unit before travel if the profile or visit status may have changed.

Choice Moore Unit Contact

Choice Moore Unit's TDCJ phone and address should be used for state-prison facility questions. A county office cannot approve state-prison visits, alter a TDCJ custody assignment, or set TDCJ mail and commissary rules. The unit contact is most useful after the TDCJ search confirms that the person is currently assigned to Moore.

Choice Moore Unit Visitation

Choice Moore Unit visitation follows TDCJ state-prison rules, not Fannin County jail rules. Visitors should use the TDCJ visitation hub and confirm current unit status before traveling. Approval, scheduling, identification, dress rules, visitor-list status, lockdowns, holidays, and unit operations can affect whether a visit happens.

The research does not provide a Moore-only public schedule with fixed hours, so no invented day-by-day calendar should be added. The most accurate schedule table is a confirmation table that points to the state channel and the unit phone. This is especially important if the inmate has recently transferred from another unit or from county custody.

Choice Moore Unit Mail and Money

Mail and commissary for Choice Moore Unit follow TDCJ rules. Use the TDCJ inmate mail rules for proper formatting and content limits, and use the TDCJ commissary information for current money-deposit guidance because vendors and fees can change.

Mail should use the inmate's committed name, TDCJ number if known, and the TDCJ-approved unit address format. County jail mail instructions do not apply. If the issue involves an old Fannin County booking sheet or booking photo from before TDCJ transfer, use the county public-information process instead of the state prison's mail channel.

Choice Moore Unit Admission

Choice Moore Unit admission is a state-prison process, not a street-arrest booking process. A person arrested in Fannin County may be booked into the county jail first, warned by a magistrate, charged through the local prosecutor and courts, and later sentenced. Only after state transfer does the TDCJ locator become the primary custody source.

That timeline explains why one name may appear in several systems at different points. The jail or VINE path answers whether the person is in local custody. The court portal answers whether charges have been filed and how the case is moving. TDCJ answers whether the person is in state custody and what unit currently holds them.

About Choice Moore Unit

TDCJ lists Choice Moore Unit as on line in May 1995 and ACA accredited since January 2000. The official unit page names Senior Warden Bobbi Thomas and lists Regional Director Anthony Newton, Deputy Division Director Lonnie "L.E." Townsend, and Division Director Eric Guerrero in the TDCJ chain. The page also lists total employees, security employees, non-security employees, Windham education employees, contract medical employees, and mental-health staffing.

Moore's local operations make it distinct from Cole and from the county jail. TDCJ lists contract farming and grazing, security horses, security pack canines, scent-specific canines, unit garden work, Unit Food Bank Garden Program participation, unit maintenance, and laundry services for Cole State Jail. Medical capabilities include ambulatory medical, dental, and mental-health services on a single level, managed by UTMB.

Programs at Choice Moore include literacy, adult basic education, GED work, CHANGES pre-release, cognitive intervention, adult education when available, chaplaincy, Crime Stoppers, a faith-based dormitory, GO KIDS, reentry planning, community work projects, volunteer initiatives, employment and job skills, substance abuse education, life skills, support groups, marriage training, parent training, and religious or faith-based activities. Those program details are TDCJ unit facts, not Fannin County jail services.
