HOW DOES BAIL WORK IN HOUSTON?

After an arrest, a judge sets bail based on the charge. You can either pay the full amount or use a bail bondsman who charges a percentage (usually 10%) to post bail for you.

Release time varies, but using a bail bondsman typically speeds up the process. In most cases, it takes anywhere from 1 to 6 hours, depending on the jail and case load.

 

If you paid the full bail to the court and the defendant attends all hearings, yes—you’ll usually get it back (minus some court fees). If you used a bail bond agent, the 10% fee is non-refundable.
