Where to Mail Letters to Rogelio Sanchez Inmates (Digital Mail vs Unit Address)
Writing to someone at Rogelio Sanchez State Jail? The correct mailing address depends on what you're sending. Most personal mail goes through TDCJ's Digital Mail Processing Center in Dallas, but certain items must be sent directly to the unit.
For regular personal mail - letters from family, friends, or businesses - use the TDCJ Digital Mail Processing Center in Dallas. 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.
Mail sent here doesn't arrive at the unit as a physical letter. Instead, it gets sorted, scanned, and uploaded to the inmate's secure tablet. TDCJ requires all inmate mail to come through authorized channels, so using the right pathway - digital center versus unit address - keeps your letter moving instead of stuck in limbo or rejected.
Exceptions Send to Unit
- ✓ Legal mail - send directly to the inmate’s unit address
- ✓ Media mail - send directly to the inmate’s unit address
- ✓ Newspapers, magazines, books, packages, and other subscriptions from verified publishers - send to the inmate’s unit address (and they must be mailed by the publisher, publication supplier, bookstore, or an online bookseller)
Note: Publisher-sent newspapers, magazines, and books are still subject to review and can be rejected under TDCJ correspondence rules.
No tablet? The inmate can still receive mail sent through the digital process. TDCJ prints black-and-white copies of the correspondence for them.
- For personal letters going to the Digital Mail Processing Center - Use the inmate’s full first and last name plus their TDCJ number, and address it to: Texas Department of Criminal Justice, PO Box 660400, Dallas, TX 75266-0400.
- For items that must go to the unit (like legal mail, media mail, and publisher-sent books/subscriptions) - Put the inmate’s name, TDCJ number, and the unit address on the envelope.
Reminder: All inmate mail has to come through authorized channels - either through the Digital Mail Processing Center or directly to the unit when the correspondence rules require it.
Practical Tips to Avoid Rejection
- ✓ If you’re sending books, magazines, or newspapers, make sure they come directly from the publisher, publication supplier, bookstore, or an online bookseller
- ✓ Remember that publisher-sent reading materials can still be reviewed and rejected under correspondence rules
- ✓ Send legal mail and media mail to the inmate’s unit address (not the digital processing center)
- ✓ Use the inmate’s full name and TDCJ number so staff can match the mail to the right person
- ✓ When mailing to the unit, include the inmate’s name, TDCJ number, and the unit address on the envelope
Want to avoid delays? Address your mail cleanly and completely. When the inmate's full name and TDCJ number are easy to read, staff can sort, scan, and upload your letter without guessing who it's for.
