Bail Bond Services

Our firm offers bail bond services to individuals in custody on a Tarrant County charge. Our fees are comparable to those of a bail bondsman. However, all fees paid for jail release services may be applied to any attorney fees associated with representation, reducing the overall costs of representation. Additionally, payment plans are available and all major credit cards are accepted.

Our offices are available 24 hours a day for all jail release services.

Writ of Habeas Corpus – No Bond Set

In some instances, an individual charged with a crime may have no bond set on his case. This usually occurs because a judge is unavailable to set bond until the following day.

Under these circumstances, we make a motion for hearing in front of a sitting judge to set a bond in the case. Magistrate judges are available for hearings 24 hours a day. Once the process has begun, we can usually schedule a hearing within the hour. Our offices are available 24 hours a day for this service.

Writ of Habeas Corpus – Hold/No Bond

In some cases, an individual charged with a criminal offense is ordered to be held without bond. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including:

• Probation violation
• Failure to appear for a scheduled court date
• Violation of bond condition
• Engaging in a new offense while on bond.

Regardless of the reason, in this situation, we schedule a hearing before the judge who ordered the hold to set a reasonable bond. This must be done during business hours between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. We can usually request an immediate hearing and have our case heard the same day. Once a bond has been set, bail may be posted.

Writ of Habeas Corpus – Unreasonable Bond

An accused individual may find himself facing a bond in an amount he is unable to post. In these circumstances, we schedule a hearing with a judge seeking to have the bond reduced to a reasonable amount. Once retained, we can usually schedule a hearing within a day. Factors that will be considered in determining whether a bond will be reduced include:

• Facts of the case
• Accused's ties to the community (e.g., family)
• Employment
• Prior criminal history
• Flight risk
• Danger to society.

Labor Detail/Work-Release Violations

In a labor detail or work-release violation, an individual is held on a “capias warrant for time.” This simply means that he was sentenced to the labor detail/work-release program on a prior criminal matter and failed to complete the terms of the program. The individual has no right of a bond and will be ordered to serve out his sentence in custody.

For a client in this situation, we seek reinstatement to the program from the judge who ordered the warrant. This process must be done during business hours, which are 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Once retained, we can usually schedule a hearing within two hours. Once the reinstatement is granted, the individual will be ordered to be released from custody, and he will resume the labor detail/work-release program.
