FAQ
What Is Unsecured Bond for Bail in Texas? We often get asked, “What is an unsecured bond for bail?” Unsecured bonds are pretty much the exact opposite of secured bonds. An unsecured bond for bail means that the bail amount is not backed by any asset.
Nature of the Crime: PR bonds are more likely to be granted for non-violent offenses or first-time offenses. Serious crimes, such as violent felonies, are less likely to qualify for a PR bond. Criminal History: Defendants with a clean or minimal criminal record are more likely to be considered for a PR bond.
What is a 90-Day P.R. Bond, Personal Bond, or Statutory Bond? After 90 days of incarceration and if the State has not indicted a defendant, such person is generally entitled to a 90-day personal bond. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure article 17.151, “Release because of delay,” provides statutorily for a personal bond.
If the defendant does not pose a threat to people in the community, they do not have a criminal record, and their crime did not involve violence, they are more likely to get a release on their own recognizance.
Whether a bond is granted is entirely up to the judge's discretion—they may sometimes deny a personal bond if they assess that there may be a risk of repeat offenses, non-compliance, or a danger to public safety.
