How to Contact an Inmate at Dallas County Youth Village (TX)

After you locate the person you want to reach, contact Dallas County Youth Village directly for their current communication guidelines. Visitation rules, phone call policies, and mailing requirements differ by facility. Calling ahead gets you the clearest answers about what this location allows and what they need from you.

If you want to send money, Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) offers a free monthly checking account debit (ACH) option. It automatically withdraws funds from your personal checking account around the 5th of each month and credits the offender's account around the 10th. To set it up, complete an ACH authorization form, attach a voided check, and mail both to: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 629, Huntsville, Texas 77342-0629. Dallas County Youth Village is a separate facility, so check with staff first to confirm whether this TDCJ trust-fund process applies before sending paperwork or money.

Steps to Follow

  • ✓ Confirm you have the right person and location, then contact Dallas County Youth Village to ask for their current rules for mail, phone calls, and visitation (rules vary by facility).
  • ✓ Ask the facility which trust-fund or deposit options are accepted for residents there.
  • ✓ If the facility tells you TDCJ’s monthly checking account debit (ACH) is appropriate for your situation, complete the ACH authorization form, attach a voided check, and mail both to: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 629, Huntsville, Texas 77342-0629.
