Bail is an agreement between a suspect or accused person with the police/court that the accused person will attend court when required, and that should the accused person fail to appear, the court may issue warrants of arrest, and order forfeiture of the amount deposited.
If you can't make bail in Texas, you will stay in jail until you have served your sentence in full, have completely beaten your case through a not guilty verdict or dismissal, or until you are released on probation. To finally resolve a case, it can take anywhere from a few months to a few years.
Hourly Rates The rates can range from Ksh 5,000 to Ksh 20,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer's experience and the complexity of the case.
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.
Staying in custody In the state of Texas, if you cannot post bail, you will likely remain in jail until your case progresses. The length of time you spend in custody depends on various factors, including the nature of the offense, the court's schedule and your legal team's efforts to expedite your case.
The maximum duration of detention without charges in Texas is 48 hours, with consequences for exceeding this limit. Individuals facing criminal prosecution have access to their constitutional rights such as the right to remain silent, an attorney, and Miranda warnings.
Failing to post bond has several consequences: Extended Jail Time: You remain in custody until your court date, ranging from weeks to months. Court Appearances: Regular court appearances are required. Impact on Employment and Family: Prolonged jail time can lead to job loss and financial strain.
