The Bail Process

If a person is arrested and booked for a serious crime in the State of Texas, they must wait in jail until a bail bond hearing. During the bail hearing, the judge will set the bail amount. However, if the person cannot afford bail, they must wait in jail until their court date. That's where we come in.

Bail is a process by which you pay a set amount of money to obtain your release from police custody. As part of your release, you promise to appear in court for all of your scheduled criminal proceedings. To hire a bail agent, you'll need to have as much information as possible, including the full name of the person in jail, what jail they are in, their booking number, and what charges they are facing. Our bail agents are on call 24/7 and can meet you at the jail to post the bond or at our offices. If you're not in the same city as the defendant, all paperwork and payments can be handled over the phone or electronically.

Posting Bail

When you post bail, you are paying the amount that your bail was set at. This can generally be done in a few ways, including paying by cash or check in the amount of your bail, signing over ownership rights to property that has a cash value that is equal to or exceeds the amount of your bail, giving a bond (a promise to pay if you do not appear) in the full amount of your bail, or signing a statement that says you will appear in court at the required time, generally called "being released on your own recognizance." Most bail bonds agents typically charge 10-15% of the full bond amount, although this can be higher or lower depending on the circumstances and the location of the arrest. You can also sign over collateral or property like a house, car, jewelry, or other goods that can help guarantee that the defendant will show up to court. Our bail agent will post the bond once the premium is paid. It can take a short time or as much as a few hours to process someone out of jail, depending on how crowded the jail is.

Getting Released on Your Own Recognizance

After your bail bond hearing, the defendant will be released from jail once the bail bond is issued. They must show up for all court hearings and meet any conditions set by the court and bail agent. If the defendant fails to show up to court, the bail agent must pay the court the full bond amount. When the defendant violates the bail conditions, the bail agent will locate the defendant and take them back to jail. So long as the defendant complies with the terms set by the bail agent and shows up for all court dates, you won't have anything to worry about, regardless of whether the defendant is found innocent or guilty. The bond is exonerated or completed when the trial is over.
