A drug possession arrest can leave someone in custody while their family tries to understand the charge, determine whether a bond has been set, and figure out how to bring them home.
1 Way Out Bail Bonds provides 24/7 assistance for eligible drug possession bail bonds throughout Houston and Harris County.
Whether the allegation involves a misdemeanor or felony-level offense, our bail bond agents can help you understand the bond process and determine what is needed to move forward.
The period immediately following an arrest can be confusing.
The defendant may still be going through booking, and information about the case or bond may not be immediately available.
You don’t need to wait until you have every detail before contacting us.
Provide the defendant’s name, date of birth and any arrest information you have. We’ll help you determine what additional information is needed.
Many defendants charged with drug-related offenses may have a bond available, but every case is different.
Bond eligibility isn’t determined by the bail bond company.
The applicable court or judicial authority determines whether a defendant is eligible for bond, the amount, and any conditions associated with release.
Once an eligible bond is established, 1 Way Out Bail Bonds can help with the surety bond process.
Drug possession charges in Texas can vary considerably depending on the alleged controlled substance, quantity and other circumstances.
Some cases may be prosecuted as misdemeanors while others can involve felony allegations.
The classification of the criminal charge can affect the bond amount and process.
Our team can help with eligible misdemeanor and felony bail bonds, but questions about criminal charges, defenses, or potential penalties should be directed to a qualified attorney.
There isn’t one standard Houston drug possession bond amount.
The bond amount is established through the judicial process and can depend on the particular case.

Once we know the amount and type of bond available, we can explain the cost and requirements for using a bail bond company.
The basic process typically starts with identifying the defendant and verifying the bond.
Once an eligible surety bond is available, we’ll explain the paperwork and requirements.
After those requirements have been satisfied, the bond can be posted.
The Harris County jail then completes its processing before releasing the defendant.
When you call, provide as much of the following as you have:
Don’t delay calling simply because one of these pieces is missing.

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.
