Where to Mail Letters Now: TDCJ's Digital Mail Processing Center Address
Sending personal mail to someone in TDCJ? The address changed when the system went digital statewide. Here's exactly where to send letters now—and the few exceptions that still go directly to the unit.
As of September 6, 2023, TDCJ switched all units to a digital mail platform for incoming personal mail. Letters, cards, and photos now go to a central processing center instead of the unit directly. From there, they're scanned and delivered through the digital mail system.
Send personal mail, greeting cards, and photos to the TDCJ Digital Mail Processing Center. Include the incarcerated person's full first and last name along with their TDCJ number - this ensures your mail gets matched to the right person. Use this format: Texas Department of Criminal Justice Inmate's Full First and Last Name + TDCJ Number PO Box 660400 Dallas, TX 75266-0400
- ✓ Texas Department of Criminal Justice
- ✓ Inmate’s full first and last name
- ✓ Inmate’s TDCJ number
- ✓ PO Box 660400
- ✓ Dallas, TX 75266-0400
Some mail still goes directly to the unit - not the Digital Mail Processing Center. Legal mail, media mail, and books, magazines, or packages from verified publishers (including subscriptions) should be addressed to the inmate's assigned unit.
No tablet? Your loved one can still receive mail through the digital system. TDCJ prints black-and-white copies of their correspondence and delivers them that way.
If you have questions about TDCJ’s digital mail platform, contact Securus Customer Service at (800) 844-6591.
