Matagorda County Jail, TX

You can fund an inmate's commissary at Matagorda County Jail three ways: call 866-345-1884, go online at AccessCorrections.com, or use the kiosk in the jail lobby. You'll need the inmate's full name, SO number, and date of birth to ensure the deposit reaches the right account. Kiosk and third-party vendor payments may include service fees and post on different timelines—review the vendor's terms before paying. Don't mail cash or personal checks. Stick to accepted payment types like money orders or cashier's checks, and follow the jail's deposit instructions exactly. Questions? Contact the Inmate Trust Fund office or use the vendor's confirmation and tracking tools.

Several public search tools can help you find someone connected to Matagorda County Jail: the federal Bureau of Prisons locator (for federal cases), the Texas state offender search, and the county jail roster for local custody. Start with whichever database fits the situation, then search using the strongest identifier you have—a TDCJ/SID, booking number, or offender ID works best, especially when name spellings are uncertain. No numeric ID? The statewide offender search may help you find one that works across portals. You can also sign up for alerts through IVSS, VINE, or SAVNS if you want frequent custody updates, though these notifications aren't official legal records. Since rosters can differ, verify key details by checking multiple sources.
