Where to Send Money for an Inmate at Rogelio Sanchez State Jail (and Who Can Send It)
Sending money to someone at Rogelio Sanchez State Jail is pretty simple—but a few rules can stop a deposit cold or send it right back. Here's how to make sure your money actually gets there.
Not just anyone can deposit money into an inmate's trust fund account. Since September 1, 2020, the sender must be on the inmate's approved visitor list or Inmate Telephone List. If you're not on one of those lists, your deposit may be rejected. Worth checking your status before you buy a money order or cashier's check.
If you’re mailing in funds, don’t use cash or a personal check. Those aren’t accepted for inmate trust fund deposits, and they’ll be returned to the sender.
TDCJ's Deposit Options flyer describes a mail-in option: send a money order or cashier's check along with a completed deposit slip to Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. Need a deposit slip? Ask the offender for one, or mail a self-addressed, stamped envelope to that same PO Box 60 address to request one.
Here's where it gets confusing: two TDCJ sources give different instructions. The Deposit Options flyer says to send trust fund deposits (money orders or cashier's checks plus the deposit slip) to Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60 in Huntsville. But the Commissary and Trust Fund page warns that inmate mail "MUST" go to the inmate's unit of assignment - not PO Box 60. Since these directions conflict, call the unit to verify the correct address before mailing anything. Otherwise, your deposit could get delayed or returned.
Heads-up: The flyer says to request deposit slips by mailing a self-addressed, stamped envelope to PO Box 60. But the Commissary and Trust Fund page says inmate mail should not go to PO Box 60 - it must go to the unit. This is a real conflict. Clear it up with the unit before you mail a deposit or paperwork.
- Confirm you’re allowed to send money - make sure you’re on the inmate’s approved visitor list or the Inmate Telephone List (this restriction applies to deposits).
- Check the current TDCJ Commissary & Trust Fund guidance - follow the most up-to-date mailing rules, including the instruction that inmate mail must go to the inmate’s unit of assignment (not PO Box 60).
- Resolve any mismatch before you mail funds - if the Deposit Options flyer’s PO Box 60 instructions don’t match what the Commissary & Trust Fund page says, call the inmate’s unit (or the appropriate business/financial office) to confirm the correct address before sending money orders, cashier’s checks, or requesting deposit slips.
