Is a postal money order safe to enclose for a Front Street inmate?

Money orders are generally fine unless the jail says otherwise; call 903-798-3149 for the payee. Bowie County will not accept loose bills or a check from your own bank account, so never enclose either.


Do Texarkana jail letters arrive as paper or scans?
