How to Send Money to Hood County Jail, TX (TX)
Need to put money on someone's account at Hood County Jail? The jail offers three TouchPay options: an in-person kiosk, an online deposit, and a phone deposit.
Hood County Jail offers three ways to fund an inmate's account, all through TouchPay. If you can visit in person, there's a TouchPay kiosk in the lobby of the Hood County Sheriff's Office. Prefer to handle it from home? You can deposit online through TouchPayDirect using Hood County Jail's site number 776048. Or call TouchPay's toll-free line at 1-866-232-1899 to deposit by phone. For online and phone deposits, the jail states TouchPay accepts credit and debit cards. Both options are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Quick tip: Online and phone deposits through TouchPay accept credit and debit cards and are available 24/7. If you hit an outage or error, try again later or use the in-person kiosk instead.
Timing matters if the money is for commissary. Hood County Jail hands out commissary order forms on Wednesdays at 10:00am, and inmates receive their account balance at that time. Forms are collected at 1:00pm that same Wednesday, so make sure funds hit the account before pickup if you want the money available for that week's order. Ordered items are delivered on Friday.
