For note: This funding maximum does not apply to family and friends that associated to facilities with $0 funding fee, third party points-of-sale such as Western Union, MoneyGram, or JPay, payments made for Direct Billed or Traditional Collect accounts, or family and friends who associated to TDCJ and WI DOC.
