Send Money at Mclennan County Jail

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

McLennan County Jail uses an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account. You can fund it through approved online vendors, facility kiosks, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check—not cash or personal checks. Online vendors and kiosks charge service fees and follow their own processing rules, while mailed payments must follow the jail's deposit instructions. Before sending money, confirm whether you need to be an approved sender (for example, listed on an Approved Visitation or Telephone List) for the deposit to be accepted. The Inmate Trust Fund office can sometimes confirm a deposit was received, but it generally won't share full balances or transaction history with third parties. To track deposit requests, manage account information, and download records, log into the My Records Center.
