How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Beto Unit accepts inmate trust fund deposits by mailed money order or cashier's check, or through certified electronic vendors: Access Corrections, ACE, eCommDirect, JPay, and TouchPay. TDCJ also offers a free monthly ACH debit deposit service, and eCommDirect is available as a secure online option via texas.gov/eCommDirect. One key restriction: since September 1, 2020, only people on the inmate's approved visitor list or Inmate Telephone List can make deposits. Mailing a payment? Make it payable to "Inmate Trust Fund for Offender Name and Number" and send it to Inmate Trust Fund, PO Box 60, Huntsville, TX 77342-0060. Cash and personal checks aren't accepted—they'll be returned.
