Common questions
Once we post your bond, the Lew Sterrett Justice Center usually releases your loved one within 2 to 6 hours. Because Lew Sterrett is one of the largest jail complexes in the country, processing can take longer during busy nights and weekends. However, we move as fast as possible on our end so there's no extra waiting.
As soon as you call, we start the paperwork. Then, right after you sign, we contact the Lew Sterrett bond desk directly — open 24 hours — and push to get your loved one into the release line without delay.
Because arrests happen at all hours, we stay available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is never a hold-up on our side — ever.
First, try the Dallas County Jail Lookup System at dallascounty.org/jaillookup. You can search by name, SPN number, booking number, or case number — available 24/7 and completely free. You can also call the inmate info line at 214-761-9025, staffed around the clock.
Keep in mind that after a fresh arrest, it can take a few hours for the record to show up. So if the search comes back empty, that doesn't always mean they aren't there — booking may still be in progress.
Either way, call us at (713) 672-2663. We look them up for free and get moving on your Dallas County bail bond as soon as we find them.
When you call, try to have their full name, date of birth, and where they're being held — the Lew Sterrett Justice Center or a city jail like Irving, Garland, or Grand Prairie. A booking number or SPN number helps too, but it's not required.
Just a name and date of birth is enough for us to find them. In addition, knowing the charges helps us get the paperwork ready faster and speeds up the whole process.
Most importantly, don't wait just because you're missing some details. Call us at (713) 672-2663 and we'll figure the rest out together.

Here's how it works: we send the forms to your phone or email, you sign digitally, and we take care of everything in Dallas from our end. Meanwhile, you stay wherever you are.
As a result, distance is never a reason to wait. Call us at (713) 672-2663 and we'll walk you through every step.
Bail is the amount the judge says must be paid before your loved one can go home. A bail bond is when we pay that full amount for you — and in return, you pay us just 10% of the total.
For example, if bail is set at $10,000, you'd pay us $1,000 instead of the full amount. That's the whole point of a Dallas County bail bond — it makes release possible when you don't have all the cash ready to go.
So if you're unsure how it works, call us at (713) 672-2663 and we'll explain it in plain terms.
In Texas, the standard fee is 10% of whatever bail the judge sets. So if bail is $5,000, you pay us $500. It's that simple.
However, the exact amount can change depending on the charge and bond amount. That's why we always give you a clear number upfront — no guessing, no hidden fees, no surprises.
To find out exactly what your Dallas County bail bond will cost, call or text us now at (713) 672-2663.
No — the 10% you pay us is not refundable. That's the fee for getting your loved one out and for us taking on the risk of the full bond amount. Even if the case is dismissed or charges are dropped, that fee stays with us.
That said, the larger bond amount the court holds is a different matter. Once the case is fully over and all court dates were attended, the court gives that money back to us — but the 10% stays regardless of the outcome.
In short, think of the 10% as the cost of getting someone home from the Lew Sterrett Justice Center tonight — not a deposit. Call us at (713) 672-2663 before you sign if you have any questions.
Yes — we accept credit cards and debit cards. We also take cash, gold, and silver. Most families don't have a pile of cash ready the moment an arrest happens in Dallas County, and that's completely okay.
Above all, we want to get your loved one home. So call or text us at (713) 672-2663 and we'll find a payment option that works for your situation.
Not always. For many Dallas County bail bond cases — especially lower bond amounts — all you need is the 10% fee and a signed agreement. So in simple situations, it's pretty straightforward.
However, for bigger bond amounts or higher-risk charges, we may need something extra like a vehicle or property to back the bond. We look at each case individually based on the charges, bond amount, and the defendant's ties to the area.
Either way, we'll be upfront with you from the very first call — no runaround, no surprises. Call us at (713) 672-2663 and we'll tell you exactly what's needed.
If someone misses court in Dallas County, the judge issues a warrant and the bond gets forfeited — meaning the full amount is owed to the court. It's serious, but don't panic.
In some cases, if they turn themselves in quickly and had a good reason — like a medical emergency — the court may let the bond stand and reverse the forfeiture.
Therefore, call us immediately at (713) 672-2663 the moment you find out. The faster you act, the more options you have.
As a co-signer on a Dallas County bail bond, you're responsible until the case is fully over — every court date and hearing right up to the final outcome. Once the court closes the case and releases the bond, your responsibility ends.
During that time, your main job is simple: make sure the defendant shows up to court. If they don't, you could be on the hook for the full bond amount plus any costs to locate them.
Fortunately, we help co-signers along the way with reminders and fast action if anything looks off. If you have questions before signing, call us first at (713) 672-2663 and we'll walk you through everything.
Yes — a Dallas County bail bond can be revoked if the defendant misses court, gets arrested again, breaks bond conditions, or tries to leave Texas without permission. When that happens, they go back into custody at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center.
Additionally, a co-signer can ask us to revoke the bond if they believe the defendant is about to run. It's a big step, but it can protect you from owing the full bond amount.
If you're in that situation, don't handle it alone. Instead, call us at (713) 672-2663 and we'll walk you through every option before you decide anything.
We write Dallas County bail bonds for just about everything — misdemeanors, felonies, DWI, drug charges, theft, assault, family violence, warrants, walk-throughs, and federal bonds. So if someone you know was arrested in Dallas, Irving, Garland, Grand Prairie, Mesquite, or anywhere in Dallas County, there's a good chance we can help.
That said, federal and capital cases work a little differently and may need extra steps. Either way, we'll be straight with you from the very first call about what we can and can't do.
To find out fast, call us at (713) 672-2663. We'll go over the charges and tell you exactly what to expect — usually in just a few minutes.
The first court date is usually an arraignment. At this hearing, the judge tells the defendant what they're charged with and asks them to enter a plea. In most Dallas County cases, this happens within a few days to a few weeks after getting out of the Lew Sterrett Justice Center.
Beyond the plea, the judge may also add conditions — like drug testing, a no-contact order, or a travel restriction. Because of this, the defendant must show up on time and follow every rule the judge sets. Missing it means the bond gets revoked immediately.
Above all, treat that first court date like the most important appointment of the entire case. If you have questions beforehand, call us at (713) 672-2663 and we'll make sure you're ready.
