How Bail Bonds Work in Texas

A bail bond is one way a person can be released from custody while their case moves forward. Here is the general process, step by step.

  1. 1Arrest and booking: the person is taken into custody and their information, fingerprints, and photo are recorded.
  2. 2Bail is set: a magistrate reviews the charges and sets a bail amount and any conditions under Texas law.
  3. 3Choose cash bail or a surety bond: pay the full amount to the court, or work with a licensed bail bond company that guarantees it.
  4. 4Bond is posted: the jail completes release processing, which can take time and is not guaranteed.
  5. 5Attend every court date: the person must follow all conditions and appear in court until the case ends.
