Step 1: You must contact an agent as soon as possible. Depending on what county you are
in, you must choose an office in that county (Hays, Comal, Guadalupe, Wilson or Kendall).
Step 2: After you choose an office, contact the agent from that office either by email or
phone(preferably).
Step 3: You will then be asked what the warrant status is. This includes: What county is your
warrant from; have you been bonded by one of our companies before; do you know what the
bond is set at etc.
Step 4: After that you will be asked to make an appointment with a bond agent to set up a
bond BEFORE you turn yourself in.(The only way to take care of a bond is to turn yourself in.)
Step 5: You will need to bring the fee which will be discussed with the agent prior to your
appointment and valid picture ID. Depending on the situation, other documentation may be
required such as proof of home ownership, proof of residency, proof of renting lease, proof of
occupation, and references(Family member and friends of whom may reach you) etc.
Step 6: There are two ways to bond a person out. You MUST either have
1. A qualified co-signer. This may vary according to the situation, but usually involves someone other than
the defendant who is 21 or older; is employed; owns a home, or is buying a home, or, if renting, agent must know for
how long co-signer has been renting at same address and how long is the lease agreement for. Again, these rules are
subject to change per the Manager of the office ONLY.
2. You may be able to put up a deposit in place of the co-singer. The deposit amount will vary from county
to county.
Note: A deposit is not only held in place of a co-signer, but also may be taken in addition to a
"risk" bond. If for ANY reason an agent feels that the bond may be risky, he/she will assess
the situation and make a judgement call on whether to take a deposit or not, but a co-signer
may still be required.
What does risk mean?
A risk is any situation pertaining to the defendant or co-signer in which an agent or manager
feels that the person may for ANY reason fail to appear in court.
Step 7: After the defendant and the co-signer attend the appointment at the Agent's office
and fill out all of the necessary paperwork and show all necessary documentation, a bond will
then be written.
