Privileged Mail
Certain mail an inmate sends or receives can be classified as privileged. Usually this would include mail between the inmate and his attorney, government officials, courts, the Governor, news media for news related purposes and a few others. If it is in-coming mail the mail will be opened in front of the inmate. The person opening the mail will only look for contraband. They won’t read the letter. If it is out-going mail it won’t be opened.

I have been granted the opportunity to serve a 90 day sentence on the weekends because I go to school at UTSA. I was wondering if I would be able to receive or bring in printed study notes for my assignments and exams. I plan to be in jail for extended periods of times during my holiday breaks from school (Nov. 20-30) & (Dec. 3-6). I have sometimes been allowed to bring a few pages of notes but I desperately need more pages to sufficiently prepare for my finals.
Jorge – Wow! That’s a tough one. We applaud your efforts to keep up with your school work. Unfortunately the best we can recommend is that you contact the jail’s Human Services department to see what they can do for you. 210-335-6335.
If I am receiving mail from an inmate and would like the letters and all communication via mail to stop how would I go about doing so? thank you.

If it continues, contact the Sheriff’s administration offices. Let them know what is happening, what you’ve done up to this point and that the situation is continuing.
