Comal County Jail Sending Money
Deposit Money for an Inmate in the Comal County Jail
Putting Money on a Comal County Inmate's Account
The Sheriff's Office takes deposits two ways:
- Access Corrections: online at accesscorrections.com or through its customer service line, 866-345-1884. Search for Comal County, TX, and use the person's SO Number.
- Lobby kiosk: a deposit machine stands in the jail's Bonding lobby.
Cash and personal checks in the mail are not credited to a Comal inmate’s trust balance. The Comal County Jail will not accept personal checks at all. The Sheriff's mail rules send back any cash, check or money order found in an envelope, and the jail's Bonding Office takes only money orders and cashier's checks. Access Corrections sets its own fees and deposit limits, which show at checkout. The same balance pays for commissary orders.
If a deposit hasn't posted, the jail (830-620-3450) can check the account.
