How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money for someone at Wheeler County Jail goes into a Texas Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account. You can deposit funds through approved online vendors, kiosks, monthly ACH (if offered), or by mailing a money order or cashier's check to the centralized deposit address. Before sending anything, confirm you're an approved sender—the inmate typically must add you to an Approved Visitation or Approved Telephone/Sender list. Deposits from unapproved senders may be rejected or returned. Don't mail cash or personal checks. Expect service charges and variable posting times depending on the vendor or processor. The Trust Fund office can usually confirm receipt of a deposit but won't provide balances or detailed transaction history to third parties. Follow the published deposit instructions exactly, and don't include letters with a money order.
