Inmate Money Accounts

How Do You Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Hockley County Jail?

There are two options for putting money on an inmate's books:

Choice 1 - Deposit Inmate Money Online

Hockley County Jail uses CommissaryDeposit.com to process all online deposits to an inmate's account. The company charges you a small fee for doing so, but the fee probably isn't as much as gas and parking would cost to take it to the jail in person.

Choice 2 - Mail the Inmate Deposit to the Jail

Mailing a deposit takes more time to process than the other methods but can be done if you live too far away to bring it in person and you don't have a debit/credit card for online deposits. Never send cash. Always send a Money Order from the US Post Office, a reputable bank or Western Union.

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.

**Call 806-894-9334 first to ask Hockley County Jail if this option is still available.
