How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Lucile Plane State Jail lets approved senders add funds to an inmate's Inmate Trust Fund through several options: Money Orders or Cashier's Checks, ACH/debit, Access Corrections, ACE, eCommDirect via Texas.gov, JPay, and TouchPay. Cash and personal checks are not accepted and will be returned, so stick to approved payment types or vendor portals. Since September 1, 2020, only people on the inmate's approved visitor list or the Inmate Telephone List can deposit money. Make sure you're listed before trying to send funds. Also plan ahead for timing: single-transaction deposits of $500.00 or more, and certain other checks, may be held for 14 days before the inmate can use the money.
