Can You Bring Mail, Books, or Packages to Grimes County Jail?

All letters and correspondence must be mailed to Grimes County Jail. You can't hand-deliver a letter - not even if you're already there for a visit or stopping by the facility.

Make sure the envelope is clearly labeled with the inmate’s name and the jail’s mailing address. If the name isn’t on the envelope (or it’s hard to read), it can delay delivery or keep the mail from getting to the right person.

Books, magazines, and newspapers are allowed, but they can't come from you directly. Grimes County Jail only accepts publications shipped straight from the publisher or an online retailer like amazon.com.

• ✓ Ship books, magazines, and newspapers directly from the publisher or an online service (for example, amazon.com)
• ✓ Send paperback/softcover books only
• ✓ Don’t send hardcover books

Visiting? Plan to leave with everything you came with. Visitors can't give items to inmates, and the jail won't accept personal clothing or funds dropped off for someone inside.

1. Get a money order or cashier’s check - Grimes County Jail accepts inmate funds this way (not as hand-delivered cash during a visit).
2. Address it to the Inmate Trust Fund - Mail it to: Grimes County Jail, Attn: INMATE TRUST FUND, 382 FM 149 West, Anderson, TX 77830.
3. Don’t try to leave funds at the facility - Visitors may not leave funds for an inmate.

For regular letters, address the envelope like this: Grimes County Jail INMATE NAME 382 FM 149 West Anderson, TX 77830 For money orders or cashier’s checks, use the trust fund address: Grimes County Jail Attn: INMATE TRUST FUND 382 FM 149 West Anderson, TX 77830
