How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
To add money to an inmate's account at Dallas County Jail, have the inmate's name and booking number ready. You can deposit funds using in-person kiosks, CashPayToday (flat $5 fee), AccessCorrections online (as low as $2.95), or the facility phone deposit line starting 1-866.... Service providers and kiosks charge fees and follow their own processing rules, so stick to the jail's deposit instructions rather than sending money to the facility address. Requesting a Dallas County clearance or pardon letter is a separate process. Submit the completed form with a $35 non-refundable cashier's check or money order payable to "Dallas County Sheriff's Office." The clearance form must be notarized and include a copy of ID plus a second form of identification. Mail or send the original form and payment by courier to the address on the form.
