How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

You can fund an inmate's trust account at Jim Rudd Unit through several approved channels: eCommDirect (Texas.gov), Access Corrections, ACE, JPay, TouchPay, money orders, and ACH. Only people listed on the inmate's approved visitor list or Inmate Telephone List can make deposits. If you use eCommDirect online, transfers are typically applied on the second business day after the deposit.

Why You Must Be on the Approved List to Send Money (and How to Get Added)

Since September 1, 2020, TDCJ only allows money deposits to an inmate's trust account from people on that inmate's approved Visitors List or Inmate Telephone List. If you're not on one of those lists, your deposit won't go through. TDCJ implemented this policy for security reasons, aiming to protect inmates and staff on the units.
