How Does Bail Work in Texas?
Once an individual is arrested for a crime, they are brought to a local law enforcement agency to be booked, a process which lasts 1-2 hours. After given a court date to settle their charges, they are then incarcerated to a jail. They are given an option to be released from jail, too, commonly by posting bail. Bail gives the court an assurance that the defendant will appear on court by giving them an incentive if they return.
There are three release options available: release on own recognizance, cash bail, or surety bond.
The first option, release on own recognizance or ROR, requires the defendant to make a written promise to appear on court when he is required to. RORs do not require bail to be posted, and only require the person to promise that under ROR, he will not commit other offenses. However, RORs are only given to less serious cases, and if the petition for an ROR is rejected, only the bail options are then available.
Cash bails require the defendant to pay a certain amount of cash in full to the court, before getting released. This amount is held by the court and then refunded to the defendant if they complete the required court appearances. However, cash bails are expensive, so most people choose a surety bond.
Surety bonds are organized by bail bonds agents for a tenth of the posted bail. This stipend, although a lot cheaper, cannot be reimbursed even if the defendant appears on court. On the good side, these agents can be paid in a variety of ways, from credit cards to collateral, and they are also responsible for ensuring the defendant appears in court. On the downside, if the defendant fails to appear in court, the entire amount paid by the agents must be covered.
