How to Send Money to Rogelio Sanchez State Jail (TX)
Sending money to someone in Texas prisons can get confusing because TDCJ materials sometimes give conflicting mailing instructions. Here's how to handle deposits for someone at Rogelio Sanchez State Jail without risking a rejected or misrouted payment.
Two official TDCJ sources point you in different directions for mailed deposits. A Deposit Options flyer says to mail money orders or cashier's checks (with a deposit slip) to: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. But TDCJ's Commissary and Trust Fund guidance says something else: do not send inmate mail to PO Box 60. It must go to the inmate's unit of assignment. Since that's a broader TDCJ rule, treat "mail to the unit" as the safer default until Rogelio Sanchez State Jail confirms what they currently accept for trust fund deposits.
Evidence conflict: One TDCJ document says to mail trust fund deposits to PO Box 60 in Huntsville. Another TDCJ page says you must not send inmate mail to PO Box 60, and mail must go to the inmate's unit instead. Don't assume you can follow both.
Steps-to-follow
- ✓ Confirm which mailing address is currently accepted for trust fund deposits for this unit (PO Box 60 versus the inmate’s unit address).
- ✓ If you are told to use the Deposit Options flyer process, send a money order or cashier’s check with a completed deposit slip to: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060.
- ✓ If you are told to follow the TDCJ guidance that prohibits using PO Box 60 for inmate mail, get the inmate’s unit-of-assignment mailing address from the facility and mail the deposit there as instructed.
- ✓ Make sure your deposit includes any required deposit slip (these are commonly obtained from the inmate, and some instructions allow you to request slips by mailing a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Inmate Trust Fund address).
- ✓ Before you send anything, double-check the name and number format the payment should reference, and verify the mailing method you plan to use so it is not returned or delayed.
Important: If the TDCJ guidance applies to your situation, do not send inmate mail to PO Box 60. Mail must go to the inmate’s unit of assignment instead.
When you call to verify, focus on the details that determine whether your money is accepted or returned. Ask which address they want you to use for mailed deposits (PO Box 60 or the unit address), since the two TDCJ sources conflict. Also confirm whether a specific deposit slip is required and how to get it. Ask if they restrict what you can send (money order vs. cashier's check) and whether any older flyer instructions have been replaced by current TDCJ trust fund rules.
Tip: When instructions conflict, ask staff to confirm which address to use in writing (for example, an email reply or a stamped receipt). It can save you a lot of time if funds are delayed or returned.
