Choice 1 - Dropping Money at the Jail
Ask the jail whether it takes deposits in person before you go.

Go to Tiger's online site, pick the state and the jail, and see which services it offers there.
Choice 3 - 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.
Call Chambers County Jail at 409-267-2500 to confirm the address to send the money order to and how they want it made out.
Failure to do this properly will delay your inmate getting his account credited and may require you to have to resubmit a second money order.
