How to Send Mail to Someone at Denton County Jail: Regular (Smart Communications) vs. Legal Mail

Regular mail to someone at Denton County Jail doesn't go to the jail itself. Instead, you'll send it to Smart Communications - a PO Box in Seminole, Florida. The jail routes all non-legal inmate mail through this service.

Note: Mail sent to Smart Communications gets scanned, and inmates view it on kiosks inside the facility. Legal mail works differently - it goes straight to the jail's physical address.

Address your envelope to Smart Communications / Denton County Jail at PO Box 9144, Seminole, FL 33775-9144. Using the wrong address can delay or reject your letter, so double-check before mailing.

Legal mail works differently. It goes directly to the jail - not through Smart Communications. Send privileged correspondence to Denton County Jail, 127 North Woodrow Ln., Denton, TX 76205. This ensures it's handled as legal mail and isn't scanned.

Reminder: Legal mail goes to the jail's street address: 127 North Woodrow Ln., Denton, TX 76205. Never send legal mail to the Smart Communications PO Box.

Whichever address you use, write the inmate's full name and booking/ID number clearly on the envelope or postcard. The jail uses this info to route mail to the right person. Missing or illegible details slow things down.
