How to Send Money to Joe Ney State Jail, TX (TX)

If you want to help with everyday needs like snacks, hygiene products, and basic supplies, TDCJ runs an online program called eCommDirect. Approved friends and family can use it to purchase commissary items for an eligible inmate. This is a purchase option (you're ordering specific items), not a cash deposit into the person's account. Eligibility can vary by inmate.

eCommDirect has quarterly spending limits. The caps are $70 for January through March, $70 for April through June, $70 for July through September, and $95 for October through December (the holiday quarter). If you're placing more than one order in a quarter, keep a running total so you don't hit the limit unexpectedly.

Planning to send money by money order or cashier's check as a trust fund deposit? You'll need a deposit slip. TDCJ requires that money orders or cashier's checks be accompanied by a deposit slip, which the inmate can obtain and send to you. Without it, your payment may not be processed correctly.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Use TDCJ’s eCommDirect program to purchase commissary items for an eligible inmate at Joe Ney State Jail.
• ✓ Stay within the eCommDirect quarterly limits: $70 (Jan–Mar), $70 (Apr–Jun), $70 (Jul–Sep), and $95 (Oct–Dec).
• ✓ If sending a money order or cashier’s check for a trust fund deposit, get the inmate’s deposit slip and include it with the payment.

Before placing an eCommDirect order, confirm that your loved one at Joe Ney State Jail is eligible to receive purchases through the program. For trust fund deposits by money order or cashier's check, find out how your loved one can get the deposit slip to you and what information needs to be filled out on it. Getting this right from the start helps avoid delays.
