Sending Money, Commissary Orders, and Mail — Angelina County Jail (Vend Engine, Deadlines, and Address Format)
Supporting someone at Angelina County Jail comes down to two things: hitting the deposit and commissary deadlines, and getting the mail format right. Here's how it all works.
Family and friends add money to an inmate's account through Vend Engine. Fees and instructions can change, so check the Vend Engine information for this jail before sending funds - you'll want to confirm the current process, costs, and any limits.
Timing matters if you want money available for the weekly commissary cycle. Deposits must hit the inmate's account before 8:00 AM on Tuesday.
Having money in the account isn't enough - the inmate still has to place the order. They need to call in their commissary order before Tuesday at 10:00 AM.
After the Tuesday cutoffs, commissary orders go out on Wednesday.
Money orders aren't accepted. This facility doesn't take money orders, so use Vend Engine or another jail-approved method instead.
- Get an Inmate Request Form - this is the form used to request indigent commissary.
- Fill it out with the required details - include the inmate’s name, S.O. #, and write the word “indigent” on the form.
- Turn it in on time - the form must be turned in by the prior Friday at 8:00 AM.
- ✓ The inmate cannot buy anything from commissary.
- ✓ The inmate’s balance must be less than $50.
Sending cash in a letter? Don't expect it to stay in the envelope. Staff will remove any money and deposit it into the inmate's commissary account.
Use the jail's exact addressing format to avoid delays: [Inmate Name] c/o: Angelina County Jail P.O. Box 114 Lufkin, TX 75902-0114
- ✓ Put the sender’s name and return address on the envelope (undeliverable mail without a return address will be returned to the post office).
- ✓ Write the inmate’s full name exactly as they were booked into the facility.
Before you send money: Double-check the Vend Engine information for current deposit steps, fees, and limits.
- ✓ Make deposits before Tuesday at 8:00 AM.
- ✓ Remind your loved one they must place commissary orders by phone before Tuesday at 10:00 AM.
- ✓ Expect commissary orders to be passed out on Wednesday.
