About Us

Welcome to Texas Prison Bookstore, the largest online bookstore dedicated exclusively to family and friends of inmates incarcerated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We sell and ship TDCJ approved books and stationery only. We specialize in books and stationery deemed suitable for prison inmates by The Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We do not waste your time and money shipping unapproved items to your inmate. If we sell it, they can have it. If for any reason any of our books or stationery is denied, we will replace or refund the denied item immediately.
Our inventory consists of new, used, closeout, and remainder books as well as current and back issue magazines, tabloids, comics, and puzzle books. We also stock a large supply of new stationery supplies. Every item has been approved by TDCJ and has been deemed suiatable for inmates in the Texas prison system.
Our entire stock of books and stationery are shipped via priority mail with delivery confirmation. Priority shipping assures your inmate will receive the books and stationery you have purchased. Some TDCJ vendors entrust your purchases to media mail. Media mail will not follow your inmate as he or she is transferred through the Texas Prison System. Therefore it can get lost before it ever reaches your inmate.
All books and stationery shipped to the Texas prison system are regulated for content and for contraband. As a TDCJ approved vendor, we keep up to date on all regulations for Texas inmate books and stationery to give our customers the largest selection available. When it comes to TDCJ approved supplies, put your trust in a professional. You can make no better choice than Texas Prison Bookstore. We stand behind every order we sell. We do not rest until your inmate has the order in their hands.

Our aim is to make your experience with us as comfortable as possible. Our support line is open generally 18 hours a day. We are here to help you with any issues you have. Our staff will assist you in choosing the right inmate care package, stationery or books to keep your loved one as comfortable as can be expected. We are also knowledgeable in many other aspects of the Texas prison system and will help you in any way we can.

Texas Prison Bookstore is a proud sponsor of the Free Their Minds Foundation, a non-profit organization that purchases books and stationery for indigent Texas prison inmates. Prison can be a lonely place especially if you have no one. We do what we can for those who have none. Its our way of paying it forward. We urge you to join us and give a little to those that can't do for themselves.

We take responsibility to work with the families, inmates and the Texas Department Of Criminal Justice to supply inmates with books and stationery to not only make their stay a little easier but also offer them material that will aid them in leading a better life outside the prison walls. Its a responsibility that we aim to live up to. Please don't hesitate to contact us and let us assist you today.
