How to Contact an Inmate at Facility

This facility uses a mail scanning process. Physical mail goes to a central processing location, gets scanned, and is delivered electronically so inmates can view it on kiosks or tablets within the facility (if applicable). What does that mean for you? Even if you send a physical letter, the inmate likely won't receive the original paper. They'll see a digital copy instead.

The Sheriff's Office and the county jail both publish official contact points for Bonham, Texas, including phone numbers, fax numbers, and street addresses. Those published listings are your best starting point if you need to confirm whether someone is housed there, ask about communication options, or figure out the right way to send mail.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use the Sheriff’s Office or county jail’s listed phone, fax, or street address in Bonham to reach staff with questions about communication.
• ✓ If you plan to send mail, expect it to be scanned at a central processing location and delivered electronically for the inmate to view on kiosks or tablets (if applicable).
• ✓ Ask the facility what formats and contents are allowed, and what delivery timing typically looks like under their scanning process.

Before you send anything or make a trip, confirm you're using current contact information for the right office. The Sheriff's Office and county jail both publish phone numbers, fax numbers, and street addresses for Bonham. Still, double-check that you have the correct department (jail vs. sheriff) and that the details are up to date before you rely on them.

Because the mail process involves central scanning and electronic delivery, you'll want clear answers on the details that affect whether your message actually gets through. Ask whether all mail is handled this way, how legal or privileged mail is treated, what an inmate needs to access mail on kiosks or tablets (if applicable), and whether there are content or format restrictions that could get your mail rejected.

• ✓ Confirm the correct phone number, fax number, and street address for the jail and for the Sheriff’s Office.
• ✓ Ask if physical mail is scanned centrally and how the inmate views it electronically (kiosk or tablet access, if applicable).
• ✓ Ask what is allowed to be sent, including any format rules that can cause mail to be rejected.
• ✓ Ask whether there are any fees or specific service providers involved in electronic delivery (those details were not included in the available information).
