What service can you use to write and inmate in tdcj online and how much does it cost?
You can send messages to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice inmates using the e-messaging service through JPay. It is free to sign up with them and costs 44 cents a stamp. Offenders usually receive letters within 2 business days. You will need his or her inmate ID number. If you do not have it, you can find it by searching the TDCJ inmate database by the offender's name.
Are there any administrative jobs opening at TDCJ?
At the moment TDCJ are cutting down on administrative jobs so there may not be many vacancies. I would contact the HR department and check what vacancies are available.

Are the inmates allowed to receive care packages in Texas prisons?
The TDCJ Commissary and Trust Fund Department has an online program called eCommDirect where friends and family may purchase up to $50 of commissary items every calendar quarter for eligible offenders. To use the program, just search for the offender by last name and ID. Once the offender has been verified you can make a deposit into their trust fund account and purchase commissary items from the TDCJ's online catalog. The items available for purchase include snacks, hygiene products, correspondence supplies, etc.
How much time will you do on a 10 year federal sentence?
You do not do 80% of the time in a Texas prison unless its a federal charge in a texas located Federal prison. In TDCJ an inmate serves 25% of their sentence in non aggrevated offenses, and usually about 50% on aggrevated offenses. This just means the person is eligible for parole at 25% and 50% of the time, respectively. The time is also calculated by actual days served plus good time. So if you have all good time, parole eligibility is actually at around 15% of the sentence. Most people do not make their first parole though, so I would not expect a person with a 10 year sentence to make it out in 15 months. Realistically from what I understand, if non aggrevated a 10 year sentence would most likely do around 3-4 years. Hope that helps

Felony 2 Offense: Punishment range is 2-20 years in the ID-TDCJ and an optional fine up to $10,000.

Will your probation be revoked if it is violated for the first time but is not a drug related violation in Tyler Texas?
no Probably not but any violation of the terms of probation is grounds for revocation. It depends mostly on the mood of the probation officer, current policy, and the nature of the violation. Other factors include the nature of the conviction, the class of offense (minor misdemeanor vs. major felony), how crowded the jail is, or if TDCJ is accepting prisoners, etc.
Do inmates in solitary confinement get to read books?
In Texas Department of Criminal Justice - only if family members get books shipped to them. General prison library (that is, everything but law books) is either forbidden or, to put it mildly, not allowed. I spoke to several people at TDCJ before I could get the full details on this. How solitary confined inmates even manage to obtain law books from the library is beyond me. Quite frankly, it's a wonder that enough inmates remain alive long enough to move the funds that TDCJ is so addicted to. I think we'll see a major rise in inmate deaths in the coming years. to note, prisons are not required to be very specific about how an inmate dies. Why do I live in a country like this and do nothing while others suffer?
