What You Can and Can't Mail to Someone in Palo Pinto Jail (including the soft-sided Bible exception)

Send inmate correspondence to: P.O. Box 506, Palo Pinto, TX 76484.

The jail won't accept anything with inappropriate or gruesome content. That means no images of nudity, sexual acts, or physical violence. If you're including printed pictures, drawings, or magazine clippings, keep everything clean and non-graphic - otherwise your mail will be rejected.

One exception the county spells out clearly: soft-sided Bibles. You can bring one to the jail for an inmate or have it shipped directly from the supplier. Shipping straight from the supplier is usually the cleanest option - it matches the jail's published language exactly and avoids potential issues at intake.

Outside of soft-sided Bibles, the rule is simple: all other items need pre-approval from Jail Administration. Want to send something beyond plain correspondence? Get approval first, or expect it to be refused.

Checklist

• ✓ Address the mail to: P.O. Box 506, Palo Pinto, TX 76484.
• ✓ Don’t include anything with inappropriate or gruesome subject matter, including images depicting nudity, sexual acts, or physical violence.
• ✓ If you’re sending a Bible, make sure it’s soft-sided; you can bring it to the jail or have it shipped directly from the supplier.
• ✓ For any other items (anything beyond regular correspondence), get pre-approval from Jail Administration before you try to send it.
• ✓ If you’re unsure whether something crosses the line, check with Jail Administration first - Palo Pinto’s published guidance doesn’t spell out every edge case (like photo rules or envelope details).
