HOUSTON BAIL BONDS

When someone is arrested for any reason, they generally are in need of a bail bond. A bail bond is a payment amount determined by a judge, used as an insurance policy that the accused, also known as the defendant, will abide by whatever rules the judge sets for him or her to follow if released from jail, and ensuring the defendant will appear for the trial date set. Many defendants cannot afford to post a cash bail amount themselves, and therefore, need to hire a bail bondsman.

THE JOB OF A BAIL BONDSMAN

A bail bondsman works with the courts every day and is very familiar with them. In particular, when arrested and jailed in Houston, TX, you want someone who works in Houston. Either the defendant or someone on his or her behalf may contact a local bondsman. The defendant, and often a co-signer, will need to come to an agreement with the terms of the bondsman.

Most bondsmen charge a fee of 10% to 15% of the bail set by the judge. For that, the bondsman will work on the defendant's behalf, getting him, or her, released from jail as soon as possible. The bondsman will need to know the defendant's full name and birth date. He will also need the information on the alleged crime, where and when it occurred, and the jail where the defendant is being held.
