- ✓ If you’re using ACH, get the ACH Authorization form and complete it as directed
- ✓ If you’re using an online/phone option, use one of the approved vendors listed by TDCJ (Access Corrections/ACE, eCommDirect, JPay, or TouchPay)
- ✓ Follow the TDCJ printable instructions for the method you chose before you submit your deposit
- Wait for processing, then check on the deposit - If you need to confirm it arrived, contact Inmate Trust Fund staff to ask whether the deposit was received.
- Know what they can and can’t tell you - Staff can confirm receipt, but they cannot release account activity or balances to anyone except the inmate.
Before sending money, check that you're working from current TDCJ instructions. Confirm money orders and cashier's checks are still accepted for trust fund deposits.
