YOU GOT ARRESTED IN TEXAS. NOW WHAT?
Call Not Guilty Bail Bonds.
If you are arrested and charged with a crime, you may need someone to post bail on your behalf. Not Guilty Bail Bonds can assist with that. Here is a detailed sequence of events that can occur if you or someone you know gets arrested.
Arrested to Release
You’re going to be booked and detained
Assuming you’ve been arrested, you’ll be taken into custody and held, usually at a police station or a local or county jail, where you’ll be fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a jail cell. You’ll also be informed of your rights.
- You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court.
- You have the right to have a lawyer present during any questioning.
- If you cannot afford a lawyer, one may be appointed for you if you wish.
Bail will be set by a Judge
Bail is the amount of money you must pay to get out of jail. It not only allows you to leave jail but also provides a financial incentive to appear in court. If you fulfill your court obligations, you may get your bail money back. However, if you fail to do so, you will likely lose the bail refund.
Circumstances can affect bail.
The judge sets bail. The amount is determined based on the pending charges, your criminal history, the risk of flight, and various other factors. You have three options:
- Stay in jail and wait until a court date is scheduled
- Pay a bond in full
- Call a reputable bondsman!
Do your research!

Post bail… This is how it works
Step 6: Bail will be posted and deposited with the court to ensure the defendant’s commitment to fulfilling all court proceedings.
Bail can be posted in cash. If you are unable to do so, a reputable Bail Bond Agency like Not Guilty Bail Bonds can do it for you. Typically, the bail bond agency charges a non-refundable premium or fee to initiate the release process.
Bail has been posted, and it’s time to get out of jail.
Step 7: After posting a bond and being released from jail, the defendant should contact one of our three offices without delay. As a new client, you will need to visit our office and complete the necessary paperwork, which should take approximately 10-15 minutes. Once completed, your bondsman will explain the rules, regulations, and obligations while on bond with them.
Aside from understanding how much the bond is and paying back, post-release steps include:
- Payment plan guidelines
- Continually updated information on the client
- Weekly phone check-ins
These obligations stay in effect until the client has met all court responsibilities and made all payments to the bond company. Skipping any court dates will lead to additional costs.
What can you expect from a Bail Bondsman?
The bail bondsman should be honest, friendly, and explain the entire process. The agency should be accessible at all times and offer quick, friendly, and affordable service.
