What is the average bail in the US?

The cost of bail bonds in McKinney, Texas for first-time offenders can range between $500 and $2,500. Second-time perpetrators can expect a bail of up to $10,000. Following four charges, the charge becomes a felony crime.

In Texas, the average amount you pay the bail bondsman for service fees is about 10 percent. A court may deny bail outright–thus forcing a defendant to remain in jail pending trial–under certain circumstances. These include cases where the defendant is charged with capital murder or they are charged with a felony and have a prior felony record.
