Hi my name is Veronica Garcia and I've sent out two email messages to Michael Shahan in Uvalde County Jail and even though the app says he's received them I don't think he has because I have not been contacted and I paid $12 for this service and it's not helped me at all. Can someone please contact me back at this email address or my phone number is 210 323-3764. If someone can please contact me as soon as possible Id greatly appreciate it and have a blessed day
