How to Address Mail to an Inmate at Kerr County Jail (and What You Can't Send)
Mail gets rejected at Kerr County Jail most often for two reasons: the envelope is addressed wrong, or something extra is tucked inside. Use the exact format below and stick to approved contents so your letter actually reaches your person.
Address the envelope exactly like this: Inmate Name SO# Kerr County Jail PO Box 591 Longview, TX 75606 Both the inmate's name and their SO# need to be on the address. Here's a filled-in example you can copy: John Doe SO# 12345 Kerr County Jail PO Box 591 Longview, TX 75606
Return address required: Put your full return address on the envelope. Mail without a return address can be rejected.
