How to Send Mail to an Inmate at Victoria County Jail (JailATM vendor routing)

Starting January 1, 2021, Victoria County Jail changed how it handles personal mail. Non-legal, non-commercial letters are now converted to electronic format - your letter gets scanned and processed through the jail's system rather than handed over as paper.

Heads up: Since January 1, 2021, this routing applies to non-legal, non-commercial mail. Send it through JailATM instead of addressing it like traditional jail mail.

You have two options for non-legal, non-commercial mail. Send it electronically through JailATM.com, or mail it to the JailATM vendor address in Fort Worth. If you go the paper route, include the inmate's information exactly as shown in the addressing format - this is how they match your letter to the right person.

Even when you follow the routing correctly, mail can still be delayed or rejected. Everything goes through security screening, and items that don't pass get returned. Sending something time-sensitive? Build in extra days and keep your envelope clean and simple.

Reminder: Screening can slow delivery, and some items may be returned to you. If your mail comes back, it’s usually because it didn’t meet the jail’s screening requirements.

Getting the address right matters. Include the inmate's name and CR number on the envelope. The jail's address is: Victoria County Jail, 101 N Glass Street, Victoria, Texas 77901.

  • Put the mailing address and your return address on the same side of the envelope, and write both clearly and legibly.
  • Don’t send letters with no return address.
  • Don’t add drawings or extra writing on the outside of the envelope beyond the addressing information.

For the official wording of the January 1, 2021 change or exact vendor routing details, check Victoria County Jail's published mail procedures and JailATM.com. The jail's page explains what mail must go through the system; JailATM handles the actual processing.
