How to send messages, photos, and packages
Staying in touch with someone at Victoria County Jail typically means using vendor-run services common across Texas facilities—phone calls, remote video visits, electronic messaging, and inmate tablet programs. What's actually available depends on the unit and custody level. Phone calls usually require registering your number with the vendor or state system and providing the inmate's ID. Calls are monitored and billed through the vendor's account options. Remote video visits are scheduled through an approved vendor portal and typically require payment and advance booking. Messaging and tablet services use paid credits and content screening, with limits on attachments. Want email alerts about custody events? RNS-style notifications let one registered email track up to five people or properties—though common names may generate multiple matches.

Most Texas jails use vendor phone systems, so you’ll typically register your phone number with the vendor/state system and enter the inmate’s ID number.

Non-legal, non-commercial mail must be sent through JailATM.com or mailed to the vendor’s Fort Worth processing address under the jail’s 2021 policy. Make sure the inmate’s address and your return address are legible and on the same side of the envelope—mail without a return address won’t be accepted.
Photos must be standard 4x6 or smaller and can’t show nudity, sexually suggestive poses, underwear or revealing clothing, gang signs, or drug/alcohol use. Don’t add drawings or writing on the outside of the envelope beyond addressing, and don’t include printed drawings or computer printouts inside the letter.
Yes, but only under strict rules: books and magazines must come directly from the publisher, and Amazon or Redbird deliveries aren’t accepted.
