Sending Mail to an Inmate at Montford Unit: Use the Dallas Digital Processing Center, Not the Facility
Sending a personal letter or photos to someone at the Montford Unit? Here's the key detail: mail it to TDCJ's Digital Processing Center in Dallas — not to the unit itself.
Starting September 6, 2023, TDCJ switched to a digital mail system for incoming inmate mail. Personal letters and photos no longer go directly to the facility. Instead, they're sent to a processing center, scanned, and uploaded to the inmate's secure tablet.
For personal letters and photos to reach an inmate at the Montford Unit, address your envelope exactly like this: Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inmate's Full First and Last Name + TDCJ Number PO Box 660400 Dallas, TX 75266-0400
- ✓ Use the inmate’s full first and last name
- ✓ Add the inmate’s TDCJ number with the name (as shown on the address)
- ✓ Put the name + TDCJ number on the address line so it’s easy to match to the right person
Digital processing applies to personal mail and photos. Legal mail, media mail, books, magazines, packages, and subscriptions from verified publishers are handled differently - those should go directly to the unit.
Warning: Don’t send personal mail or other items to the Inmate Trust Fund. Also, don’t mail trust fund deposits to the inmate’s facility of assignment.
