Send Money at Parker County Jail

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

Handling money matters at Parker County Jail comes down to two basics: the Parker County sheriff accepts bail for prisoners in custody, and everyday spending money goes through the Inmate Trust Fund (commissary). You can usually add funds through an approved online vendor, a lobby kiosk, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check using the jail's deposit instructions. Don't send cash or personal checks. Keep in mind that vendors and kiosks typically charge service fees and may take time to process deposits. In some cases, you'll also need to be an approved sender, meaning the inmate adds you to an approved list. If a third-party money transmitter processed your deposit and it doesn't arrive, contact that transmitter directly for help.
