Mail, photos, messaging, and phone/call options for staying in touch.
Since November 1, 2022, McLennan County has delivered personal mail digitally through the GettingOut tablet system. That means your mail will show up on an inmate's tablet rather than arriving as traditional paper. For general, non-emergency questions, call the Sheriff's Office at 254-757-5000. For records-related requests, call 254-757-5108. Texas facilities often provide phone access, video visits, electronic messaging, and tablet programs through third-party vendors, though exact features vary by unit. Common setup steps include registering phone numbers, scheduling video visits through a vendor portal, and creating messaging accounts to send messages or credits. Always confirm what's available for your person's specific unit.
