Three Ways to Put Money on an Inmate’s Commissary at Palo Pinto County Jail
Want to help someone at Palo Pinto County Jail buy basics from commissary? You'll need to get funds onto their account first. The county offers three ways to do it—and they're particular about what they accept.
Palo Pinto County Jail takes commissary funds in two paper forms: money orders and cashier's checks. Cash isn't accepted - don't show up with bills expecting to make a deposit. Your options: money order or cashier's check for in-person or mail deposits, or the county's online system through JailATM (more on that below).
To deliver funds in person, bring a money order or cashier's check to the Palo Pinto County Law Enforcement Center at 420 Cedar St., Palo Pinto, TX 76484. Use this street address for drop-offs - not the P.O. Box.
Reminder: Palo Pinto County Jail accepts money orders and cashier’s checks for commissary deposits - no cash.
Mail is another accepted option, as long as you’re sending a money order or cashier’s check. Use the jail’s mailing address: P.O. Box 506, Palo Pinto, TX 76484. This is the address the county lists specifically for mailed commissary funds.
- ✓ Write the inmate’s name (and ID number, if you have it) clearly so the deposit can be credited to the right person.
- ✓ Use the P.O. Box mailing address for mailed deposits: P.O. Box 506, Palo Pinto, TX 76484.
- ✓ If you’re unsure how they want the envelope or payment labeled, confirm the current instructions before you send it.
Don't want to mail a payment or make an in-person trip? Palo Pinto County also offers an online option through JailATM for adding funds to an inmate's commissary account.
Tip: Check JailATM's screens for fees and processing times before you send money. The steps are straightforward, but costs vary.
The county's accepted methods are simple: money order, cashier's check, or JailATM online. Cash is a no-go. What you won't find in official info are the details people usually need - like online fees, how long deposits take to post, or exactly what to write on a mailed envelope to make sure it reaches the right inmate. Stick to the listed payment types and use the correct address (420 Cedar St. for in-person, P.O. Box 506 for mail), and you'll avoid the most common problems.
- Confirm who you’re sending money to - get the inmate’s name and, if available to you, their ID number.
- Pick the method that matches what you can do - in person at 420 Cedar St., Palo Pinto, TX 76484; by mail to P.O. Box 506, Palo Pinto, TX 76484; or online through JailATM.
- If you’re mailing it, label it clearly - make sure the money order/cashier’s check (and the envelope) clearly identifies the inmate so it can be credited correctly.
- If you’re using JailATM, check the details before you pay - confirm any fees and when the funds are expected to post.
- When something doesn’t look right, verify before you resend - a quick confirmation can save you from sending a second payment to the wrong place.
