YOU GOT ARRESTED IN TEXAS. NOW WHAT?
STEP 1: Call a Bail Bond Agent. Call Not Guilty Bail Bonds.
If you are arrested and charged with a crime, you may need someone to post bail for you. Not Guilty Bail Bonds can help you with that. Below is a detailed sequence of events that can take place if you or someone you know gets arrested.
Arrested to Release
You’re going to be booked and detained
If you are arrested, you will be taken into custody and held, typically at a police station or a local or county jail. You will be fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a jail cell.
You will 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 that you need to pay to get out of jail. It not only gets you out of jail, but also serves as a financial incentive for you to show up 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 forfeit the bail refund.
Certain circumstances can affect bail
Bail is set by the judge, and the amount is determined based on the pending charges, your criminal history, the risk of flight, and various other factors. You will have three options:
- Stay in jail until a court date is scheduled
- Pay a bond in full
- Call a reputable bondsman!

“Time to post bail… This is how it works?”
Step 6: Bail has been 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. Usually, the bail bond agency charges a nonrefundable premium or fee to set the release process in motion.
“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 must come in and fill out paperwork, which should only take about 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 remain in place until the client has fulfilled all court responsibilities and made all payments to the bond company. If they miss any court dates, it will result in 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 available throughout and provide fast, friendly, and affordable service.
