Online purchases are subject to substitutions if the item is unavailable at the time of distribution. All deposits made to an offender’s trust account are final and no refunds will be issued. Chargebacks to a credit card will affect offender’s eligibility. TDCJ reserves the right to capture and retain IP Address information for fraud detection.
