How to package materials for secure delivery.

Do you deliver to all Texas correctional facilities?

Not always — some facilities only accept their own approved vendors. We’re approved at most Texas state prisons, federal prisons, jails, and detention centers. If unsure, check with the facility’s mailroom.

No Texas facilities don’t accept hardcover books. We ship paperback only. Note that all incoming items are still reviewed by TDCJ staff, so acceptance isn’t guaranteed even for allowed formats.

Refunds apply only if a book is unavailable or out of stock. You’re responsible for all shipping fees, and damaged or altered returns aren’t refundable. Magazine and newspaper purchases are final — no refunds or cancellations.

Orders ship via USPS with tracking included. Support is available 24/7 via phone, email, or live chat. Closed weekends and holidays.

Not automatically all publications go through mailroom review regardless of vendor status. Check with the facility on current guidelines before ordering.
