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 fairly simple, but two things trip families up: who's actually allowed to send funds, and where the mail should go. Here's what official guidance says, plus how to verify the correct mailing address before you send anything.
Not everyone can deposit money into a Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmate trust fund. As of September 1, 2020, only people on the inmate's approved visitor list or Inmate Telephone List are allowed to make deposits. If you're not on one of those lists, your deposit can be rejected even if everything else is filled out correctly. Check your status first to save yourself time and frustration.
Tip: Before sending support, confirm the inmate is assigned to the unit you expect and that they have visitation privileges. Call the unit directly for final confirmation.
The official Deposit Options flyer says to mail money orders or cashier's checks with a completed deposit slip to: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. However, conflicting guidance exists about PO Box 60 (more on that below). Don't mail anything until you confirm which address is currently being used for trust fund deposits.
Do not send: Cash and personal checks are not accepted for trust fund deposits, and they will be returned to the sender.
This is where things get confusing. The Deposit Options flyer gives a clear mailing destination: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. It says to send your deposit and completed slip there. But the Commissary and Trust Fund page includes a warning: "Do not send inmate mail to PO Box 60; it MUST be mailed to their unit of assignment." That directly conflicts with the flyer. Both are official sources, and they don't line up. Treat the address as something you need to verify for your specific situation. Call the unit before mailing a money order or cashier's check.
