If they fail to show, then you went to all that extra trouble for nothing.
Stay in the state of Texas until trial. Do not use any drugs prohibited by law or by the court (which even can include prescribed narcotics). Work at suitable employment. Report on a regular basis to a probation officer and notify such an officer of any address changes.
Best-case scenario: Release within 30 minutes to 2 hours after posting bail during regular business hours. More typical scenario: Release within 4-8 hours, especially during off-peak hours or weekends. Worst-case scenario: Release could be delayed for 24 hours or more in complex cases or due to logistical hurdles.
A: Anywhere from 2-6 hours. With great certainty, though, we can say that most defendants are released within 2-6 hours of posting bond from the Austin jail or Georgetown jail.
