Writing to Texas

[caress]

Hi, wondering if anyone can help...

I have heard so many rumours about what we can/ can not write to a DR prisoner in Texas. Just curious if anyone writes anyone in Texas and if so...

1) Is it true you can't send post cards?

2) Is it true letters will only be given out if your include your home address on the back?

For your first letter, stick to the basics: One page in an envelope, write on one side in one color, no pictures or other enclosures. Ask what the rules are for future letters.

These are possible violations (but rules differ from prison to prison):
Too many pages
Insufficient postage
Insecure envelope
Too many enclosures
Colored writing paper not allowed
Information from the internet not allowed
Pictures included in body of letter
Only one side of each page may be used
Unsigned card
and, of course the dreaded glitter or foam.
