Sending Money

You can fund an inmate's commissary account at Kerr County Jail by mailing a money order to the Kerr County Inmate Commissary at the Clearwater Paseo address, depositing online through JAILATM.COM, or using the ATM at the jail's visitation entrance. A 24-hour front-lobby ATM deposits funds directly to inmate accounts. Note: the front lobby no longer accepts money orders.

If you're mailing a money order, it must arrive by 12:00 noon on Monday to be included in that Tuesday's order. Expect ATM fees: $3.25 for cash deposits and a 10% fee on credit/debit deposits. The Sheriff's Office doesn't set or profit from these fees. Account balances are released only to the inmate.
