Overview
At Byrd Unit, only people on an inmate's Approved Visitation List or Inmate Telephone List can deposit money into that inmate's account. Texas inmates use an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account. Family and friends can fund it through approved vendors, kiosks, or by mailing money orders or cashier's checks. One key rule: do not send trust-fund deposits, personal mail, or items to a central Inmate Trust Fund address. Personal mail should go directly to the inmate's unit. Need to check whether a deposit arrived? The Trust Fund office can confirm receipt, but it won't share account balances or transaction details with anyone except the inmate. If you use an online portal and forget your scheduler password, use the emailed reset steps.
