How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
You can add money to a Denton County Jail inmate's commissary account through CorrectPay online or by phone at 1-855-836-3364. On the CorrectPay site, select the facility and choose the service you need (such as a commissary deposit). Available options can vary. If the inmate's commissary balance exceeds $300, credit card deposits are blocked. You'll need to deposit cash at the facility instead. Phone debit funds are separate from commissary. To add prepaid phone money, use SmartInmate online or call 1-727-349-1561. You'll need a SmartInmate account first. Expect vendor fees and different processing times. Confirm you're using the right deposit method and follow the vendor instructions to avoid rejected deposits.
