How Much Does a Bail Bond Cost?

The court sets the bond amount

At the defendant's first court appearance, a judge sets bail. That number is determined by the court, not by us. It reflects the charge, the defendant's history, and the judge's assessment. We have no influence over that figure.

The charge and the county both affect that amount

The same charge can carry a different bond in Potter County than in Randall County. A misdemeanor and a felony are different. A first offense and a repeated one are different. The bail amount the court sets reflects all of those factors.

Our fee is calculated from that bond amount

Once the court sets the bond, our fee is calculated from it. That fee is the cost of our service. It is non-refundable once the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves.

We tell you the exact number before you commit

Call us with their name. We look up the bond the court set. Then we give you our exact fee. You know the full cost before you sign anything or make any commitment.
