Cash bonds, posted for you.
Some courts require the full bail amount in cash rather than a surety bond. We post it on your behalf and handle the filing with the district clerk.

How a cash bond differs
A surety bond is a promise backed by our license, and the 10% premium is what it costs. A cash bond is the entire bail amount placed with the court, held until the case is resolved and then returned to whoever deposited it, minus court costs and any fines.
Neither is automatically better. Which one applies is usually the court’s decision, not yours, and we will tell you plainly which you are looking at.
Keeping the paperwork straight
The refund goes to the named depositor, not to the defendant and not to whoever happens to be holding the receipt. We walk you through what to keep, whose name belongs on it, and what to expect at disposition.
Getting it posted tonight
Call with the name, the facility and the bail amount. We post at the McLennan County Detention Center and file with the clerk, and the paperwork is submitted within 30–45 minutes of agreement.
A licensed bondsman answers every hour of the year. Nothing is owed for asking what a bond would cost.

A cash bond requires the full bail amount to be paid upfront to the court. This type of bond serves as a financial guarantee that the defendant will attend all scheduled court hearings. If all conditions are met and there are no missed appearances, the full amount is refunded at the conclusion of the case.
