How to Send Mail to Someone at Bell County Jail — The Two Addresses and MailGuard Tracker

Bell County publishes two different mailing addresses on its official pages, and it's easy to mix them up when you're trying to get a letter to someone fast. Here are both addresses as posted, plus the simplest way to track delivery using MailGuard Tracker.

• 3 min read Verified from official sources

Bell County Jail lists this address for INMATE REGULAR MAIL through Smart Communications (effective June 20, 2022): Smart Communications/Bell Co Sheriff's Office (Inmate name, Inmate booking #) PO Box 9146 Seminole, FL 33775-9146.

On a separate Bell County Jail page, the Inmate Mail address is listed as: Inmate's Name 113 West Central Ave Belton, Texas 76513.

If you've seen both addresses and wondered which one to use, you're not alone. Bell County pages show an offsite Smart Communications PO Box for "INMATE REGULAR MAIL" and a local Belton street address for "Inmate Mail." Both appear on official pages, but don't assume they're interchangeable, especially for anything time-sensitive.

Warning: Bell County publishes both the Seminole, FL PO Box and the Belton, TX street address. Confirm which address applies to what you're sending (regular letters vs. other types of mail) before you drop it in the mailbox.

For mail sent through the Smart Communications process, Bell County specifically encourages senders to sign up for MailGuard Tracker. It lets you follow delivery to the inmate. This is especially useful when you're mailing to the Smart Communications/Bell Co Sheriff's Office PO Box 9146 Seminole, FL 33775-9146 address, since tracking gives you a clearer picture of where your item is in the process.

  • ✓ Sign up for MailGuard Tracker so you can follow delivery to the inmate.
  • ✓ Save any tracking details and receipts until the inmate confirms they received it.
  • ✓ If you run into a mail-tracking issue, contact Smart Communications at 1-727-349-1561.
  1. Start with the two published addresses - Bell County lists “(Inmate name, Inmate booking #) PO Box 9146 Seminole, FL 33775-9146” for INMATE REGULAR MAIL (Effective June 20, 2022) and also lists “Inmate's Name 113 West Central Ave Belton, Texas 76513” on a different page.
  2. Use MailGuard Tracker when sending regular mail through Smart Communications - Bell County encourages it so you can follow delivery to the inmate, which can help you spot delays sooner.
  3. Verify before sending anything urgent - if the mail is time-sensitive, call and confirm which address they want you to use before you send it.

Note: Since both addresses are published by the county, always verify the correct destination before mailing legal documents or anything you can't afford to have delayed.
