BAIL BONDS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS A BAIL BOND?
A bail bond is a financial guarantee to the court that the defendant will appear in each and every court appearance as the court directs. If the defendant fails to comply with the conditions of the court then warrants can be issued and the bail bond can be forfeited.
HOW FAST IS THE BAIL BONDS PROCESS?
Once payment has been received by our bonding company, the paperwork is processed and the bond is posted within 15-20 minutes. After we have completed the process, it depends on how busy it is at the jail where the person is incarcerated. In the case of Collin County Jail, the time it takes for a person to be released from custody averages between 4-6 hours. Inmates are usually released quicker at the municipal jails because they are much smaller and have a smaller amount of people incarcerated.
HOW MUCH DOES A BAIL BOND COST?
When you use a licensed bail bond company like Bubba’s Bail Bonds, once bail is set you only pay a portion of the set bail amount. The amount will depend on the factors of your case. Please call Bubba’s Bail Bonds at 972-529-6168 for your specific case.
WHO CAN CO-SIGN ON A BAIL BOND?
A co-signer is required during the process of bail to guarantee that the defendant (your relative or friend), will attend their scheduled court date and pay fines when summoned to do so. A co-signer vouches for the defendant and ensures they have support on the outside in getting back on track and to trial.
Not everyone can co-sign bail bonds. The person must be a citizen of the United States and have lived in the same area for a predetermined period, have stable employment and have sufficient credit.
HOW TO PAY FOR A BAIL BOND?
The easiest option for paying bail bond fees is to make a one-time payment via cash, check, or credit card. If necessary, you can also sign over collateral or property like a house, car, jewelry, or other goods that can help guarantee that the defendant will show up to court.
