Don’t mail these: Do not send cash, stamps, or personal items for offenders to either the unit or the Inmate Trust Fund.
Most rejected deposits come down to missing details or prohibited items. Before you seal the envelope, verify the payee line reads "Inmate Trust Fund for [Offender Name and Number]," the offender's full name and TDCJ number are included, and your name and return address are on the envelope. Keep the contents simple - just the deposit paperwork. No cash, stamps, or personal items.
