Want to get money to someone at Clements Unit fast? First, confirm you're authorized to send it. Then choose the deposit method that fits your timeline.
How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Sending money to an inmate at Clements (BC) requires using an approved method, and you must be an approved sender. Deposits can be made with money orders or cashier's checks, ACH, or through approved vendors such as ACE, eCommDirect (Texas.gov), JPay, and TouchPay (options vary by vendor). Only people on the inmate's Approved Visitation List or Inmate Telephone List can deposit funds, so confirm you're approved before trying to send money. Plan ahead for holds: single trust-fund transactions of $500.00 or more, along with certain checks (including insurance, payroll, and estate checks), are held for 14 days before the inmate can access the funds. Trust Fund staff can confirm receipt but won't provide balances or transaction details to anyone except the inmate.
