The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) provides most, but not all, prisoners with tablets that they can use to receive digital mail.
When someone sends a personal letter to a prisoner, staff at a third-party digital mail center scan the mail into a digital file and save it to the prisoner's tablet. Friends, family members, and other loves ones should send personal mail directly to the digital mail processing center. TDCJ explains certain types of mail still may need to mailed directly to the unit.
TDCJ allows approved visitors to schedule in-person and video visits with inmates.
Visitors must follow specific rules, including dress codes and identification requirements, to complete the check-in process and participate in visits.
