How to Send Money to an Inmate at Grimes County Jail

Grimes County Jail only accepts inmate funds by money order or cashier’s check. Whatever you send must be made out to the Inmate Trust Fund - not to the inmate - or it may not be processed the way you intended.

Write the inmate's name somewhere on the money order or cashier's check - but not on the "Pay to the Order of" line. That line goes to the Inmate Trust Fund. In the sender section, include your name, address, and phone number so the jail knows who sent it.

Tip: Double-check the inmate's name before mailing. Even a small spelling mistake can delay when the funds get credited.

Mail money orders and cashier’s checks to: Grimes County Jail Attn: INMATE TRUST FUND 382 FM 149 West Anderson, TX 77830

How to Send Money to an Inmate at Grimes County Jail

Common Mistakes

  • Don’t send cash or a personal check - Grimes County Jail only accepts money orders or cashier’s checks.
  • Don’t make it payable to the inmate; make it payable to the Inmate Trust Fund.
  • Don’t forget to include your name, address, and phone number in the sender section.
  • Don’t leave off the inmate’s name; it needs to be noted on the payment (just not on the “Pay to the Order of” line).

Warning: If the money order or cashier's check isn't filled out correctly, it can be delayed or rejected.
