Where to Send Letters and Packages to Someone at W. F. Ramsey Unit: Digital Mail vs. Unit Address

For regular personal correspondence - letters, greeting cards, that kind of thing - send it to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Digital Mail Processing Center in Dallas. Include the incarcerated person's full name and TDCJ number on the envelope. That's how staff match mail to the right person at the W. F. Ramsey Unit. Use the Dallas PO Box address exactly as written to avoid delays.

Not everything goes through the Dallas center. Legal mail, media mail, and books/magazines/packages from verified publishers are exceptions - these must be sent directly to the W. F. Ramsey Unit. If what you're mailing falls into one of those categories, skip the digital mail address and send it to the unit instead.

No tablet? No problem. If the person you're writing to doesn't have one, the facility prints black-and-white copies of scanned correspondence and delivers them.

• ✓ Write the inmate’s full name and TDCJ number clearly on the address.
• ✓ For personal letters and similar correspondence, use the Dallas Digital Mail Processing Center address exactly as provided.
• ✓ Send legal mail, media mail, and books/magazines/packages from verified publishers directly to the W. F. Ramsey Unit (not Dallas).
• ✓ For legal or publisher items, keep your mailing receipt and any tracking information.

For time-sensitive items - especially legal mail or publisher shipments - get a receipt and tracking number. That paper trail shows when you sent something and whether delivery was attempted, which helps if you need to follow up on delays or missing mail.
