Send Money at Sayle Unit, Tx.

How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options

Overview

To add money for someone at the Sayle Unit, you must be an approved sender. Only people on the inmate's Approved Visitor list or Inmate Telephone List can deposit funds, so confirm you're on one of those lists before sending anything. One option is monthly ACH debit: the debit typically initiates around the 5th and funds usually credit the offender's account around the 10th. This requires an ACH authorization form plus a voided check. Funds go into the Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account for commissary, phone time, laundry, and similar needs. Don't mail cash or send money to the facility address. Follow centralized deposit instructions and accepted payment methods exactly to avoid rejections or returns.
