FAQ
Release from these jails can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours, but release from the Harris County Jail can take anywhere from 4-24 hours, depending on various factors. You need to contact a professional bondsman to facilitate the release in an expedient manner.
Texas bail bonds are a promise that you will appear in court when you are supposed to. The bond seller, known as a bail bondsman in some states, posts a bond with the court, and the court keeps the bond in case you don't show up. A bail bond can usually be purchased for about 10 percent of the amount of the bail.
No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
Bail for third-degree felonies is usually around $1,500 to $5,000. Second Degree Felonies - Offenses include intoxication manslaughter, aggravated assault, sexual assault, robbery, or possession of 50 to 2,000 pounds of marijuana. Bail for second-degree felonies can range from $2,500 to $50,000.
If bail is not posted and the district attorney pursues charges, he or she will remain in jail until the case is finally resolved. You do not need a criminal attorney to post bond, but an attorney can help reduce the amount of bond and help you navigate the bail system.
There are three requirements for obtaining a Judicial Court Bond: Submit an application and signed indemnity agreement supplied by the surety broker/agent; Provide a copy of the court papers for the applicable action being filed; and. Provide collateral, usually in the form of an Irrevocable Letter of Credit.
