How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money deposits for Rogelio Sanchez State Jail are restricted. Only people on the inmate's approved visitation list or Inmate Telephone List can send funds (effective Sept. 1, 2020). For mailed trust fund deposits, don't send cash or personal checks. They're not accepted and will be returned. Use a money order or cashier's check instead. One set of instructions directs money orders and cashier's checks (with deposit slips) to Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. However, the facility's Commissary and Trust Fund page warns not to send inmate mail to that PO Box. Confirm the correct mailing instructions with the Inmate Trust Fund office before mailing anything. If you use eCommDirect, quarterly limits apply: $70 per quarter for Jan–Sep, $95 for Oct–Dec. Only one purchase per inmate per day is allowed, and newly received inmates must wait until the next calendar quarter.
