Once bail has been set, the defendant or a third party can post the bail to secure the defendant's release from custody. If the defendant cannot afford to post bail, they may seek the assistance of a bail bondsman.
This usually happens within 48 hours after your arrest. Normally the majority of jurisdictions use a schedule for bail to decide the bail amount that should be set.
If the jail is busy, the bail bonds process typically takes anywhere between 3 and 24 hours. Jail release is fully dependent upon the jail in which the accused is being held. Busier locations, such as the Tarrant County Jail can take a longer amount of time simply because of the time required to process the paperwork.
Bonds may be posted at any time, 24 hours a day, at the Bond Desk, Tarrant County Corrections Center, 100 N. Lamar, Fort Worth, TX 76196. Call the Tarrant County Jail Inmate Information Line 817-884-3000, to determine if bond has been set and the amount of the bond.

Bailing someone out of jail who has a history of untrustworthy behavior can create headaches. You're essentially agreeing to put up 10 percent of a bail bond that could be tens of thousands — or even hundreds of thousands — of dollars. If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
