How to Send Money to Someone at Kerr County Jail (mail money orders & lobby ATM)
Kerr County Jail offers two ways to add money to an inmate's commissary account: mail a money order, or use the ATM in the front lobby. Planning to walk in with a money order? That's no longer an option - the jail stopped accepting money orders at the front desk for inmate trust fund deposits. Your in-person choice is the lobby ATM.
Scope note: This article covers mailed money orders and the front‑lobby ATM. It does not include online vendor instructions.
- Get a money order ready - Plan ahead so it can arrive before the weekly cutoff.
- Address it to the jail’s commissary mailing address - Mail to: Kerr County Inmate Commissary, Inmate Name, 400 Clearwater Paseo, Kerrville, TX 78028.
- Make sure it arrives before the deadline - Money orders must be received before 12:00 noon on Monday to be included in Tuesday’s commissary order.
- Keep your receipt - Hold onto your money order stub/receipt until you’re sure it’s been processed.
Note: If the money order arrives after Monday at noon, it may miss that week’s Tuesday commissary order.
Need to deposit money today? The jail ATM in the front lobby is available 24 hours a day. This is now the only in-person option - money orders are no longer accepted at the front desk for inmate trust fund deposits.
- ✓ Cash deposit fee: $3.25
- ✓ Credit/debit deposit fee: 10% (factor this in so the inmate receives the amount you intended)
Commissary runs weekly at Kerr County Jail. Inmates place orders on Tuesdays and receive them on Thursdays. That's why timing matters - mailed money orders must arrive before 12:00 noon on Monday to make that week's order.
A few rules to know before you go: the jail doesn't accept money orders at the front lobby for trust fund deposits, and outside packages aren't allowed either. Also, account balances are only shared with the inmate - family members can't call to check how much is in the account.
Note: The jail provides indigent inmates basic supplies weekly, including personal hygiene items, paper, pen, envelopes, and stamps.
No. The jail no longer accepts money orders at the front lobby for inmate trust fund deposits. If you want to add funds in person, use the front-lobby ATM.
The front-lobby ATM charges $3.25 for cash deposits. Using a credit or debit card? Expect a 10% fee on the amount you deposit - factor that into what you send.
Once a week. Orders go in on Tuesdays and arrive on Thursdays. Mailed money orders need to arrive before 12:00 noon on Monday to count toward that week's order.
