How to Send Mail to Someone at Glossbrenner Unit (use the Digital Processing Center address)
Sending personal mail to someone at the Glossbrenner Unit? You'll need to use TDCJ's Digital Mail Processing Center in Dallas. Here's the exact address—and what needs to go somewhere else.
For personal mail - letters, greeting cards, photos - send it to TDCJ's Digital Mail Processing Center (DPC). On the first line, write the person's full first and last name along with their TDCJ number. The address: PO Box 660400, Dallas, TX 75266-0400. Your mail gets scanned at the DPC and delivered digitally, usually through the inmate's tablet.
Copy/paste address format: Inmate Full First and Last Name + TDCJ Number, PO Box 660400, Dallas, TX 75266-0400
Some things don't go to the DPC. Legal mail and media mail are exceptions. Physical publications - books, magazines, newspapers - skip the digital center entirely. These items need to be mailed directly to the unit (or sent by an approved source for publications) so they're processed under the right rules.
Warning: If you send books or other publications from an unapproved sender, they can be rejected. Before you order anything, confirm it will ship directly from an allowed publisher or seller.
Get the label right or your mail could bounce back. Include the inmate's full name, TDCJ number, and the correct address on the envelope. Even when using the Digital Processing Center, the name and number must be exact - that's how mail gets matched to the right person.
- ✓ Use the inmate’s full first and last name
- ✓ Double-check the exact TDCJ number
- ✓ Use the Digital Processing Center address (PO Box 660400, Dallas, TX 75266-0400) for personal mail
- ✓ Mail for different inmates must be sent in separate envelopes
Want to send reading material? The sender matters. Newspapers, magazines, and books can only come from the publisher, a publication supplier, a bookstore, or an online bookseller - shipped directly to the inmate. Even then, everything gets reviewed and can be rejected under correspondence rules. Be thoughtful about what you order and where it ships from.
Tip: Order publications directly from the publisher or an online bookseller and keep your order/shipping confirmation until you know it was accepted.
- Confirm the name and TDCJ number - Use the inmate’s full legal name and the correct TDCJ number before you address anything.
- Address personal mail to the DPC - Format it as “Inmate Full First and Last Name + TDCJ Number” and use PO Box 660400, Dallas, TX 75266-0400.
- Add your return address - Put your full return address on the envelope so it can be returned if there’s a problem.
- Save your mailing proof - If you use a service with tracking or get a receipt, hold onto it until the mail shows up.
Reminder: Don’t put letters for different inmates in the same envelope - send each person’s mail separately.
