The Transportation Unit is committed to providing safe and orderly prisoner transport to and from hospitals, medical appointments, courts, state mental hospitals, prisoner educational facilities, contract jails, satellite jails and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). We demonstrate our commitment to this mission with dedicated professionals who have successfully passed all written and practical Texas Department of Public Safety licensing examinations for Class B, or greater, commercial motor vehicle driver’s license’s.
The Transportation Unit is equipped to accommodate handicapped prisoners and has the capability of transporting as many as 347 prisoners at one time.

The fleet also has a civilian transport bus which is used in transporting civilians participating in various County sponsored activity such as the Citizen's Police Academy. All Transportation Unit vehicles are air-conditioned, professionally marked, regularly serviced and designed for deputy, public and prisoner safety. The Transportation Unit’s headquarters and motor pool operations are located at 601 Lockwood, Houston Texas.
