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

Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail

Make the Money Order out to the inmate's name and put their Inmate ID# in memo section of the Money Order.
Call Lavaca County Jail at 361-798-2420 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
