How to deposit funds, commissary, and payment options
Money for someone in Wheeler County Jail, TX typically goes into an Inmate Trust Fund (commissary) account. Friends and family can usually add funds using approved online vendors, monthly ACH debits, or by mailing a money order or cashier's check. Before sending anything, confirm you're an approved sender under the facility's rules (for example, being on the inmate's approved lists). The trust fund office can usually confirm that a deposit was received, but won't give out account balances or transaction details to third parties. Don't send cash or personal checks, since they aren't accepted. Expect vendor or kiosk service fees and processing rules. Never send money to the inmate's personal facility address. Use the centralized deposit instructions exactly to avoid delays.
