How to Send Money to Someone at Taylor County Detention: Money Orders, Drop Box, and Online

TCDC accepts funds three ways. Got a money order? Bring it to the lobby window during weekday business hours, or drop it in the after-hours box located by the window. Prefer to skip the trip? You can add funds online at TaylorDeposits.com - the same site also has links for adding money to phone accounts.

The payee line matters. Get it wrong, and the funds might not reach the right account. TCDC requires money orders made out to "TCDC/Inmate Name" or "Pay to the order of: Taylor County Detention Center & Inmates Name." If there's space on the money order, include your name as the sender or purchaser.

Dropping off a money order in person? Head to the window inside the lobby. It's open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Can't make it during business hours? No problem. Drop your money order in the lobby drop box by the window anytime. Just use the same payee format - "TCDC/Inmate Name" or "Taylor County Detention Center & Inmates Name" - so staff can credit it to the right person.

Don't want to deal with a physical money order? Add funds online instead. TCDC directs families to TaylorDeposits.com, which also has links for adding money to phone accounts.
