Fannin County Jail

To reach Fannin County Jail, start with the jail phone or fax listed on the county contact page. These work best for quick questions about procedures and inmate communication. For broader help, the Fannin County Sheriff's Office also publishes a public phone number and email. The Sheriff asks that you call ahead to arrange non-emergency meetings. County contact information includes the Sheriff's Office physical address and phone/fax for general inquiries and records requests. During the COVID-19 response, the District Clerk suspended face-to-face service and routed records and copy requests to email or phone instead of in-person visits. Inmate phone, video, messaging, and tablet availability can vary by unit. Confirm current options by calling the jail or checking the inmate's facility page.

To add money for someone at Fannin County Jail, deposit funds into an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account. You can use an approved online vendor, a facility kiosk, or mail a money order or cashier's check following the jail's exact deposit instructions. Don't send cash or personal checks. They're generally not accepted and may be returned. Online vendors and kiosks commonly charge processing or service fees, and each provider has its own rules and posting times. The Inmate Trust Fund office can usually confirm whether a deposit was received, but account balances and transaction details are generally only available to the inmate. Avoid sending funds to the facility mailing address or including letters with a money order. Some services may also include a $55.00 per hour standby charge, and certain collection commissions are tiered by amount.
