So, What are Bail Bonds?
In simple terms, a bond is a legal agreement. A bail bond is just that – a legal contract between the defendant and the bail bondsman.
When someone gets charged with a crime and ends up in jail, they have two options: stay in jail until their trial or pay a sum of money to get out before the trial. The second option, bail, is usually preferred because it allows the defendant to go back to their normal life until their court date. However, bail often involves a significant amount of money that you might not have on hand. Out Fast Bail Bonds in Harris County, Houston, is available 24/7 and can help cover that bail to get your loved one released and make your life easier.
How Does Bail Bond Work?
Bail is usually 10% of the total bail amount. So, if someone’s bail is $20,000, you’d need $2,000 for the bail bond.
If you want to help someone get out of jail, you become their representative.
We’ll ask you some basic questions about the person in jail, like their info, where they live, and what they’re accused of.
We’ll give you a contract to fill out.
After completing the necessary documentation, you have the option to either pay a fee for the bondsman to go to the jail and post the bond to release your loved one or post the bond yourself.
When you sign the contract, you’re promising that the person will go to court and follow the legal procedures up until their court date.
