NON-Member Documents We reserve most of our documents for our Basic and Basic Plus members, because without them we cannot survive. However, some documents are provided here as a community service, and we are developing a section of public documents which will include sample newsletters.

TDCJ
This is an enormous web site, but it would be good for you to become familiar with it. Through our quarterly meetings with the top TDCJ administration members, we requested that they make the website more user friendly, maybe with a page specifically for family members. On the TDCJ homepage, in the upper right corner, you will see the results, " info for Families". On this page are 12 links that will help you find what you need on the site.
