How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Lucile Plane State Jail accepts trust fund deposits by mail (money order or cashier's check), through ACH/debit, and through approved online vendors: Access Corrections, ACE, eCommDirect via Texas.gov, JPay, and TouchPay. Since September 1, 2020, only people on the inmate's approved visitor list or Inmate Telephone List can deposit funds—confirm you're an approved sender before paying. Don't send cash or personal checks. They aren't accepted and will be returned, delaying your loved one's access to funds. Plan ahead for larger deposits: single transactions of $500.00 or more, along with certain other checks, are held for 14 days before the inmate can access the money. Follow the vendor's instructions, fees, and facility procedures closely to avoid processing issues.
