At Texas Department of Criminal Justice or TDCJ, incarcerated individuals have a Securus Debit Account. In order to pay for their own calls, they can add money to this debit account from their Trust Fund account. Not only the incarcerated individuals, their family members and friends are also allowed to add money to the Securus Debit.
Once again, the money that is placed in the Securus Debit Accounts can be used to call anyone on the approved calling list of the incarcerated individuals. The money becomes their property. If you are a family member or a friend of an incarcerated individual who are planning to add money to the Securus Debit Account of your loved one, you should know that the money that there is no way for you to get the money that you have sent. So, before adding money, make sure that the amount of money that you add is correct and there is no mistake while adding it.
It has been said that the money that is placed in the Securus Debit Account can be used for making phone calls. Apparently, it is the only function. It means there is no way for the money to be used for the other intentions, including for commissary orders.
