Richard P. LeBlanc Unit Overview
Richard P. LeBlanc Unit is operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The official TDCJ unit page lists the address as 3695 FM 3514, Beaumont, TX 77705, and the phone number as 409-724-1515. The research identifies it as a male pre-release facility with custody levels G1 and G2. It came online in June 1995 and has been ACA accredited since May 2006.
LeBlanc is part of the state correctional system, so the public lookup logic is different from the Jefferson County Correctional Facility. A person at LeBlanc is in TDCJ custody and may have been sentenced in any Texas county. The Jefferson County sheriff roster is designed for current county jail custody, including local pre-trial detainees, warrants, bond holds, county-sentenced inmates, and state-ready holds before transfer. Once the person has moved to LeBlanc, the current location source is TDCJ.
Richard P. LeBlanc Unit Capacity and Population
The sourced capacity for Richard P. LeBlanc Unit is 1,224 from the official TDCJ unit page. That figure describes the state unit and should not be mixed with TCJS Jefferson County jail capacity figures. The TCJS county jail data measures sheriff jail operations. LeBlanc's capacity belongs to TDCJ and its state custody system. Because the research did not provide a current LeBlanc daily population figure, this page uses the sourced capacity and avoids inventing a current count.
LeBlanc's G1 and G2 custody levels are state custody descriptors. They are different from the county jail terms used for Jefferson County booking and visitation, such as Maximum Security/FA, Q side/FB, Females, P side, and General Population/Youths. The practical effect is that a user should not use a county jail housing group or county visit table to infer LeBlanc status.
How to Look Up an Inmate at Richard P. LeBlanc Unit
Search the TDCJ Inmate Search for someone at Richard P. LeBlanc Unit. The locator accepts last name, first name, TDCJ number, or SID number. The TDCJ result is a state-custody record, not a county booking record. It can show current unit assignment, offense and sentence information, projected release, or parole-related fields when available. It does not show the Jefferson County booking-photo display, local bond amount, warrant number column, or county jail arrest ID.
- Open the official TDCJ search page.
- Use a TDCJ number or SID number for the cleanest match, or search by full name.
- Confirm the unit assignment is Richard P. LeBlanc Unit or note the current unit if TDCJ has transferred the person.
- Review state fields such as offense, sentence, release, and parole data when available.
- Use the Jefferson County roster only for a separate local booking or if the person has not yet entered TDCJ custody.
Richard P. LeBlanc Unit Address and Contact
For LeBlanc-specific questions, use the TDCJ unit contact. The Jefferson County jail-detail line is for county jail custody questions and is not the source for TDCJ pre-release unit status. If a person was recently sentenced in Jefferson County and the transfer status is unclear, check the sheriff roster for county custody and the TDCJ locator for state assignment.

Visiting Someone at Richard P. LeBlanc Unit
The research file does not provide a LeBlanc-specific visitation hour schedule. It does document the central rule: TDCJ visitation differs from Jefferson County jail visitation. Visitors should confirm the current TDCJ approval process, unit schedule, housing restrictions, and unit status before travel. Do not use the Jefferson County jail schedule for LeBlanc. The county schedule is tied to sheriff jail housing groups and local appointment rules, while LeBlanc is a state pre-release facility.
| Visit Issue | Correct Source | Practical Note |
|---|---|---|
| Current unit | TDCJ locator | Use before travel because transfer can change location. |
| Visit approval | TDCJ visitation process | State prison rules apply. |
| Unit day or status | LeBlanc Unit, 409-724-1515 | Call for current unit conditions. |
| County jail schedule | Not applicable | County housing groups do not govern LeBlanc visits. |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Richard P. LeBlanc Unit
Mail, phone, and money procedures at LeBlanc follow TDCJ systems. The Jefferson County jail mail and money rules are useful for sheriff jail inmates but should not be copied onto a TDCJ page as if they applied to state custody. Ordinary county jail mail goes to the Smart Communications MailGuard address in Humble, and county jail deposits use site IDs such as 164 for Jefferson County Correctional and 170 for Jefferson Downtown Jail. Those are not LeBlanc instructions.
| Service | LeBlanc Frame | County Rule to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Use TDCJ current mail rules and the assigned unit | Do not use Jefferson County MailGuard for state inmates. | |
| Phone | Use TDCJ state custody communication rules | Do not assume SmartInmate county jail accounts apply. |
| Money | Use TDCJ current deposit or trust process | Do not use county jail Site ID 164 or 170. |
| Records | Use TDCJ offender information for current custody | Do not treat county booking data as current prison location. |
Pre-Release Custody at LeBlanc
LeBlanc's state custody role means the public record looks different from a county booking. County jail intake records can include arrest ID, booking date, arresting agency, charge descriptions, degree code, bond amount, bond conditions, and booking photo when available. TDCJ records focus on state custody. They can identify TDCJ number, SID number, unit assignment, offense, sentence, and release or parole-related information. When a person is moving from Jefferson County jail to TDCJ, county and state systems may briefly tell different parts of the story. The county roster explains the local custody stage, while TDCJ controls the current prison location after assignment.
That is especially important for release planning. A county bond amount answers whether a person might leave local pre-trial custody, while a TDCJ release field relates to a sentence or state custody calculation. Those are not interchangeable dates. If a local case record and a TDCJ record appear to conflict, confirm which stage of the case each record describes.
About Richard P. LeBlanc Unit
LeBlanc is one of the TDCJ facilities that makes Jefferson County's detention map broader than a single county jail site. It sits near Stiles and Gist in the Beaumont area, while the county also has sheriff jail operations and the federal Beaumont prison complex. Readers often start with a Jefferson County inmate search because the facility is local, but the right system depends on custody type. For LeBlanc, the answer is TDCJ. The sheriff roster may still matter for earlier arrest records, mugshots, bond history, or court movement before transfer, but it is not the current LeBlanc locator.
For notification needs, the research points to Texas victim notification resources tied to TDCJ's Integrated Victim Services System. That is a better fit when a victim or family member needs future release or status alerts instead of a one-time lookup. A TDCJ locator result, a court case, and a notification registration each serve a different purpose.
Note: Check TDCJ before visiting or sending mail because LeBlanc is a state unit and assignments can change.
