How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Taylor County Detention Center accepts commissary and phone deposits through CSGPAY, the facility lobby kiosk, or by calling 877-618-3516. Funds go into an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account and can cover commissary, phone time, and other approved charges. In many cases, you'll need to be an approved sender on the inmate's lists before you can deposit. Third-party vendors and kiosks may charge service fees with their own processing rules and timelines. Don't mail cash or personal checks. Stick to approved options like money orders or cashier's checks, and follow centralized deposit instructions exactly. Keep your receipt or confirmation number if you need to verify a deposit later, since balances and transaction details aren't released to third parties.
