Facility Mailing and Service Information
Texas Minimum Jail Standards Rule 291.2 requires every county jail to maintain an approved correspondence plan.
Statewide standards allow inmates to send as many letters/pages as they desire and allow incoming correspondence in any quantity, subject to the jail's local security, property and contraband procedures.
Use the inmate's full booked name and booking/inmate number if known, plus a complete sender return address. Verify any county-specific scanning vendor, envelope rule or enclosure limit with the Sheriff's Office.

Texas statewide jail standards do not establish one universal photo size or quantity limit for every county jail. Photo rules are set in each facility's local correspondence/property plan.
Before sending photos, confirm the county's current quantity, size, Polaroid/self-developing-photo and content restrictions. Avoid sexually explicit, gang-related, weapon/drug-related or contraband-related images.

Texas county jails may apply local publication and package rules. The statewide correspondence standard does not create one publisher/source rule that applies identically to every county.
Confirm whether books must come directly from a publisher/retailer, whether hardcover or used books are prohibited, and whether packages require pre-approval.
