How to Send Mail to Someone at Bell County Jail (Processed by Smart Communications in Florida)
Sending mail to someone at Bell County Jail works a bit differently than you might expect—regular inmate mail gets routed through Smart Communications in Florida. Use the correct address format and include the booking number to avoid delays or returns.
As of June 20, 2022, Bell County routes regular inmate mail through Smart Communications. Your letter won't go directly to the jail - it's processed in Florida first, then delivered to the inmate. Since there's an extra processing step, Bell County recommends signing up for MailGuard Tracker to follow your letter's delivery. SmartInmate (Smart Communications' online platform) also offers free signup if you want to manage communications in one place.
Tip: If you’re worried about whether a letter arrived, sign up for MailGuard Tracker and monitor the delivery status for mail processed through Smart Communications.
For regular mail going through Smart Communications, address your envelope like this: Smart Communications/Bell Co Sheriff's Office (Inmate name, Inmate booking #) PO Box 9146 Seminole, FL 33775-9146
- ✓ Inmate’s name
- ✓ Inmate booking number
Bell County also lists a direct local address: Inmate's Name 113 West Central Ave Belton, Texas 76513 Since both addresses appear on Bell County's website, double-check which one applies to what you're sending before you mail anything.
Note: Using the wrong address - vendor routing versus the facility's street address - can delay your mail. Confirm which one Bell County wants before sending anything time-sensitive.
