HOW DOES A BAIL BOND WORK?

Once you've been arrested in Austin, the gears of the criminal justice system immediately start to turn in your case, but you could be left behind bars without the assistance of a bail bondsman. Bulldog Bail Bonds can ensure you're back on your feet instead of languishing in a cell, but it's important to familiarize yourself with the procedure before we can help. If your knowledge of the bail process is limited to depictions during prime time television shows, we can educate you so you're prepared in the unfortunate instance that you've run afoul of the law.

Judge Gavel with Sound Board— Bail in Austin,TX
So, when is bail needed? In some cases, a judge might release an arrestee on his or her own recognizance with a promise to appear in court, but that doesn't always happen. If the magistrate sets an amount required to free you from jail, you can either pay the entire sum yourself or begin the bail bonds process with a trusted broker. Your bondsman will charge a nonrefundable 10 percent deposit of the judge's amount and get you out, but you must show up for your trial to avoid a bench warrant for your arrest and forfeiture of any additional collateral.
