Sending Money

Potter County Jail uses Access Corrections for inmate deposits, bail payments, and court-ordered, parole, or probation payments. Texas inmates typically have an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account you can fund through approved online vendors, kiosks, ACH debits, or mailed money orders and cashier's checks. Skip cash and personal checks—they're generally not accepted. Vendors and kiosks charge service fees and have their own processing rules. Some jails require you to be on the inmate's approved visitation or telephone list before you can deposit funds. The trust fund office may confirm receipt, but balance details usually go only to the inmate. Don't mail funds directly to the facility or include letters with payments—use the vendor's centralized deposit instructions instead.

Inmate Lookup

Potter County Sheriff publishes a downloadable roster titled "REPORT OF PRISONERS WITH THEIR OFFENSES" that lists inmates and their charges. Each entry includes name, age, phone number, booking number, SO#, charges, bond amount, and disposition status—enough detail to pinpoint the right person quickly. Example entries show bond values (including 0.00) alongside labels like "PENDING DISPOSITION." The report spans many pages (headers show "Page 2 of 101" and similar), so it functions as a broad county roster rather than a quick snapshot. For ongoing updates or different search tools, statewide offender searches or notification services like VINE can help. Always confirm critical details across sources before acting.

Contact

Potter County Jail offers a main phone line and online contact options for general questions and detainee lookups. For non-urgent requests, start with the county or sheriff's contact page or web form. When you call, have the detainee's full name and date of birth ready—staff can locate records faster with that information. Visiting hours are Monday–Friday, 8:30AM–11:30AM and 6:30PM–9:30PM. In-person visits are non-contact and limited to two 20-minute sessions per calendar week. Registration opens 15 minutes before visiting hours, and you'll need a valid photo ID like a current driver's license or military ID. For sensitive information, use the secure portal or whichever contact method the office recommends.
