A Bail bond can help you get out of jail
Bail is a system in law that enables an accused to remain free while awaiting trial. An accused can be released from custody in exchange for a set some of money or a security for the same. However many people cannot afford to post bail and that is where bail bonds can come into play. Bail bonds offer defendants a quick way to get out of jail and remain free until a court case decides the matter. If you or loved one need to post bail in Conroe, Cypress, Greenspoint, Harris County, Houston, Humble, Katy, Kingwood, Liberty, Midtown, Pearland, Spring, Sugarland or Tomball TX then chances are good you will need a bail bond. All About Bail Bonds is a surety company that organize a bail bond for you or a loved one.
A trial often only commences weeks or months after an arrest and if bail did not exist an accused will have to spend all this time in custody whether innocent or not. It does not seem fair or democratic to keep someone who might be innocent in jail for an extended period of time. By allowing bail the legal system allows an accused to go free under the expectation that the bail will ensure the accused returns to face trial.
How bail is granted and the amount of bail will depend on the seriousness of the offence as well as the personal situation of the accused. For minor crimes bail can usually be posted immediately without need for a bail hearing. In the case of a more serious crime there will be a bail hearing where a judge will decide if an accused is eligible for bail or not. Defendants who are not considered a flight risk will probably be granted bail. The amount of bail can range from a small amount to a substantial amount.
A bail bondsman can arrange bail for you when you cannot afford it. Bail bonds are surety bonds arranged by a bail bondman in exchange for a fee. A bail bond is backed by an insurance company that will pay the full amount of bail if the accused does not return for his or her court appearance.
