Read full guidePotter County Jail uses Access Corrections for sending money to inmates. The facility also offers options to post bail, handle court-ordered obligations, and make parole or probation payments. In Texas, money typically goes into an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account through approved online vendors, monthly ACH debits, or mailed money orders and cashier's checks. The trust fund office can confirm whether a deposit was received but generally won't share account balances or transaction details with anyone except the inmate. Make sure you're an approved sender (the inmate must add you), expect vendor or kiosk processing fees, and use only accepted payment methods. Don't send cash or personal checks. Avoid mailing payments directly to the jail unless you're following the vendor's centralized deposit instructions.
