If someone is arrested in Missouri City, Texas (which spans Fort Bend and Harris Counties), they may initially be processed by the Missouri City Police Department (MCPD) and then held at the Fort Bend County Jail (primary for the area) or Harris County Jail, depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the offense. Bail is a monetary amount set by a judge during a hearing to ensure the defendant’s appearance in court.

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.
