How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money deposits for someone at Kyle Unit are restricted. You can only send funds if you're listed on the inmate's Approved Visitation List or Inmate Telephone List (policy effective Sept. 1, 2020). For mailed deposits, send a money order or cashier's check with a deposit slip to PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. Kyle Unit also offers a monthly ACH checking-account debit option: the debit typically happens around the 5th, and the credit usually posts to the inmate around the 10th. To set up ACH, you'll need an ACH authorization form and a voided check. Inmate Trust Fund staff can confirm whether a deposit was received, but they won't provide account balances or transaction details to anyone except the inmate. Don't send cash or personal checks to avoid delays or returns.
