First you need to visit the TDCJ website, and click on the CO Opening banner. Once you are there, you have to choose a test site where you will be taking a 100 question exam to see if you can make it to a one-on-one interview. If you do pass the test, you will then have a 1 on 1 interview with the agency representative present as the proctor. He/she will ask you questions like what you think the position is, and why you think that you would be a good fit as a Corrections Officer. Provided you have all of your paperwork in order, and the person doing the interview likes your responses you may be given a conditional offer. From here you will have to complete a drug screening, background check, and then a physical agility test. If everything passes, you will be scheduled to attend the next CO Academy.
The best advice I can give any potential applicants is to make sure they get all paperwork in order before attending for the exam. This includes things like a High School Transcript with Graduation Date, DD-214 for veterans, Selective Service card for non-veteran males 18 - 25, and your Drivers License and Social Security Cards. Not having one of these can delay your application process by up to 2 months.
