AUSTIN BAIL BOND HELP

When someone is arrested, a bail bond is often needed in order for them to get released. A bail amount is set by a judge in which the defendant must sign an agreement that if he or she should fail to follow the restrictions set forth by the judge while released on bail, or should fail to appear for his or her trial date, the cash bail amount will be forfeited.

Either the defendant must come up with the bail amount in order to be released, or he or she will need to hire a bondsman for a bond.

JUST WHAT IS A BAIL BOND?

A bail bond is what a bondsman offers a defendant in lieu of coming up with the entire cash amount. Bail amounts can be large, well into the thousands of dollars. In the agreement between the bondsman and the defendant, the bondsman will charge between 10 - 15% of the bond.

Sometimes a property bond or surety bond is needed and if so, he will discuss that with the defendant. For any type of bond, the bondsman will then sign a contract with the court ensuring the defendant will follow the rules and appear for trial.
