How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Bond posting through CeBonds is handled from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the detainee's local time zone. Review the Bond Agreement (Form I-352) first, since it contains the bond's terms and conditions. For day-to-day spending, Texas inmates typically use an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account. Friends and family can add funds through approved online vendors, ACH transfers, or mailed money orders and cashier's checks. The trust fund office can usually confirm whether a deposit was received, but account balances and transaction details are generally only shared with the inmate. Do not send cash or personal checks, and avoid mailing money to the facility address. Follow official deposit instructions and approved methods.
