Have you ever wondered “how is bail set?” You might be familiar with the process of releasing arrestees from jail during the time before a trial, but the decision on the amount of money can seem like a complete mystery.

Since 2000, Bulldog Bail Bonds has worked to free arrestees on a variety of different charges, and you can count on us to walk you through this difficult ordeal.

Handcuffs, Judge Gavel And Old Law Books — Bail in Austin,TX
While there is a set schedule when determining bail amount figures, a judge has some leeway in his or her decision. If the crime is nonviolent and the arrestee doesn't have a track record, he or she might be released without having to post any money.This won't happen in the case of violent crimes or when dealing with a defendant deemed to be a flight risk, which is why a magistrate has standards that serve as a baseline. It's not uncommon for a justice to increase or reduce the amounts prescribed by the schedule, which is why it's in your best interest to behave yourself during arraignment.
