How to Send Money to Brazoria County Jail, TX (TX)

Phone funds work differently than commissary deposits. The Brazoria County Sheriff's Office Detention Center uses NCIC Inmate Communications for inmate phone service (effective December 22, 2022). Phone account funds go through NCIC, while other deposits are handled by a separate provider.

The detention center lists Access Corrections as the main way to add funds. You can deposit online through Access Corrections, deposit by phone through Access Corrections, make a cash walk-in deposit at participating Dollar General or Family Dollar locations through the Cash Pay/Access Corrections network, or use a card-funded kiosk in the sheriff's office lobby (Visa or MasterCard).

1. Decide if you’re funding phone time - If your goal is phone calls (not commissary or general funds), use NCIC.
2. Set up or add funds through NCIC - Use the NCIC website to create an account and add money, or call 1-800-943-2189 to set up a new account or place funds on an inmate’s phone account.

Providers can change, so confirm you're using the current system before sending money. Brazoria County lists NCIC Inmate Communications for phone service (effective December 22, 2022) and Access Corrections for account deposits. Still, check the sheriff's office inmate accounts information right before you pay to make sure nothing has changed.

Before you submit a deposit, nail down the details that aren't spelled out in the basic instructions. Confirm any fees or limits for Access Corrections deposits. Check kiosk availability if you plan to go in person (it's in the sheriff's office lobby). For cash deposits, verify that your specific Dollar General or Family Dollar location participates in the network. Depositing by phone? Have a Visa or MasterCard ready, and confirm that bilingual, 24/7 agent support is still available on the deposit line.
