EComm JPay TDCJ is a service available if your loved one(s) is incarcerated in TDCJ – Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities. Your incarcerated ones will get some deposit/commissary item through this service.

JPay itself is actually a service not fully related to EComm TDCJ. JPay is a provider that helps you to connect with your loved ones behind the bars. From transferring money, buying phone time and even send videogram can be done through JPay service.

ECommDirect TDCJ, in the other hand, is a bit different. Through EComm JPay TDCJ, depositing some amount of money is made possible, just like what you’ll get from JPay. Aside from depositing money, remote purchase of commissary items is another feature for this service. The other difference is, EComm TDCJ is limited only for ones incarcerated in Texas only.

EComm JPay TDCJ is owned by the official TDCJ, so you don’t have to worry for fraud. Their website is safe to visit too. However, there are some rules you’ll need to comply to place a deposit or buying items, such as:

You will need to know the offender’s valid ID number as well as the offender’s last name. This will be required to address your money deposit and the commissary items you remotely purchased for them.
If you visit the EComm JPay TDCJ website, you don’t make an account. So, you have to note down those ID number and the offender’s last name anytime you want to make a purchase. Otherwise, you cannot go on with the purchase.
It takes time to your order gets delivered to the inmates. In case of items, the delivery will take place within five business days after the order is placed. While for the fun deposit, the process will take up to two business days after the transfer.
