How to Send Mail to Someone at Victoria County Jail (JailATM & Fort Worth processing explained)

As of January 1, 2021, non-legal, non-commercial mail sent to someone at Victoria County Jail is converted to an electronic format. So if you've been sending regular handwritten letters directly to the jail, this policy change explains why your mail may be handled differently than you'd expect.

Personal mail now goes through an electronic pathway via JailATM.com. In practice, that means your letter gets routed through the vendor system rather than delivered directly to the housing unit the traditional way.

To mail your non-legal, non-commercial letter to the vendor for processing, use the Fort Worth address exactly as listed. Include the person's inmate ID and full name: JailATM.com - Victoria County Jail INMATE ID: INMATE FULL NAME 2830 S. Hulen St., Box 809 Fort Worth, TX 76109

You may also see the jail's own address used for formatting inmate mail. In that case, address the envelope with the person's name and CR number, then the jail address: Name and CR Number of person in custody Victoria County Jail 101 N Glass Street Victoria, Texas 77901 The key detail here is the identifying information. The name and CR number help the jail match your mail to the right person.

Build in extra time for review. All mail goes through security screening, and anything that doesn't pass or meet the jail's requirements gets returned to the sender.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Include the person’s name and CR number on the mailing address
• ✓ Address mail to: Victoria County Jail, 101 N Glass Street, Victoria, Texas 77901
• ✓ Write the mailing address and the return address legibly on the same side of the envelope
• ✓ Do not send a letter without a return address (letters with no return address are not acceptable)

The sheriff's guidance is straightforward about routing: non-legal, non-commercial mail has to be sent electronically through JailATM.com or mailed to the JailATM Fort Worth address for Victoria County Jail. What the guidance doesn't cover is the step-by-step for using the electronic system, or any details about account setup or costs. If you're not sure which method to use, pick one of the two approved routes (electronic submission or the Fort Worth vendor address) and double-check the inmate identifying information before you send anything.
