In the state of Texas, bail bonds can be purchased by criminal defendants to allow them release from jail quickly, while they wait for their trial or next court appearance.

Understanding What A Bail Bond Is

A bond is money that is paid to secure something. In this case, it is funds that are used to secure the freedom of an individual while they wait for their court appearances. But, it is also important to note that the bond can be forfeited if the defendant does not show up for his scheduled court appearances. This is called skipping bail and, most likely, will have the bond agent tracking them down.

To secure a bail bond, individuals will need to pay a fee, which in the state of Texas is ten percent of the total bail that has been set. This fee is non refundable. It can be paid for using cash, check or credit cards or it can be financed. Sometimes, the other 90% of bail will need to be secured through a lien on a home or other asset. Other times, a signature bond is used where as a signature is all that is necessary. In any case, individuals can call on a bail bond agent for their needs and be released quickly from holding. Agents are available throughout the state of Texas. They can be called on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in most cases.
