How to Send Money to Facility

You can send funds through the Inmate Trust Fund two ways: mail a money order or cashier's check, or set up automatic monthly withdrawals from your checking account (ACH). For mailed payments, make the money order or cashier's check payable to "Inmate Trust Fund." Include a completed deposit slip and send everything to Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. If you want automatic deposits, ACH requires mailing paperwork along with a voided check to the same Inmate Trust Fund address. Once enrolled, your account is debited around the 5th of each month, and funds hit the offender's account around the 10th.

Steps to Follow

• ✓ Get a completed deposit slip.
• ✓ Purchase a money order or cashier’s check.
• ✓ Make it payable to “Inmate Trust Fund.”
• ✓ Mail the payment and completed deposit slip to: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060.

• ✓ Complete the ACH monthly debit paperwork required for enrollment.
• ✓ Attach a voided check for the checking account that will be debited.
• ✓ Mail the completed form and voided check to the Inmate Trust Fund address to set up the service.
• ✓ Plan around the timing: the debit is processed on or around the 5th of the month, and the funds are credited to the offender’s account on or around the 10th.

What to Verify

• ✓ Confirm the payee line should read exactly “Inmate Trust Fund.”
• ✓ Confirm the deposit slip you’re using is the correct one and that it’s filled out completely.
• ✓ Confirm the mailing address is current before you send anything: Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060.

• ✓ Confirm you have the current ACH authorization form required for enrollment.
• ✓ Confirm whether a voided check is required in every case (it is listed as required for setup).
• ✓ Ask how long enrollment takes so you know when the first debit will happen.
• ✓ Confirm the “on or around the 5th” debit and “on or around the 10th” credit timing for your first month, since those are not guaranteed exact dates.
