Sending a Letter to the Archer County Jail

Box 517 at the Archer City post office serves both the Sheriff's Office and its jail. A personal letter should be laid out this way:

[Booking name] [Booking number]
Archer County Jail
P.O. Box 517
Archer City, TX 76351

Spell the prisoner's name exactly as it was taken at intake, and print a return address in the corner so a rejected piece can find its way back. Booking numbers come from our lookup page or a jailer on the phone.

  • Privileged papers from attorneys or courts: no separate legal address has been published, so law offices should phone 940-574-2571 first and ask how to mark and route them.
  • Pictures and reading material: limits on photos, paperbacks, magazines and greeting cards are set inside the jail; get the current rules by phone before ordering from a store.
  • Cash in envelopes: keep it out. Card deposits go through CommissaryDeposit.com (money page).

Plain Letters Are the Safe Bet in Archer City

An ordinary envelope with handwritten or printed pages, mailed to Box 517, is what the jail mail officer expects. Anything bulkier, such as a newspaper, a book or a stack of photos, may come back marked refused, so a quick call to 940-574-2571 beforehand is worth the time, including the question of whether reading material must ship straight from a publisher.

Which box number do Archer City letters use?

Box 517. Put the booking name and number first, then "Archer County Jail, P.O. Box 517, Archer City, TX 76351." Do not mail to the street address at 100 Law Enforcement Way.

Do law offices use a different address?

None has been published. Attorneys should phone 940-574-2571 so jail staff can explain how privileged mail must be marked.

Could I slip a few dollars into the envelope?

Please don't. Money belongs on CommissaryDeposit.com, by card online (sending money); letters to P.O. Box 517 should carry no cash.

How many photos fit in one letter?

That number, plus size and content limits, comes from the jail itself; a jailer at 940-574-2571 can give the current rule.

Will the jail accept a paperback bought from a store?

Maybe; it depends on current jail policy. Phone 940-574-2571 with the title and seller before you buy.

Why did my letter take days to arrive?

Each piece is opened and inspected before delivery. When speed matters, a City Tele Coin message usually reaches the tablet sooner (messaging).

Can you email an inmate in the Archer County Jail?

Faster Than the Post Office

Back in 2021 the Sheriff told county commissioners that inmate tablets carried text messaging, run by City Tele Coin. Families create a free City Tele Coin login, add the prisoner to their contacts and pay for each message; our messaging guide has more.
