Misdemeanor bail bonds in McLennan County.

In detail

What Is a Misdemeanor in Texas?

In Texas, misdemeanors are criminal offenses that fall between infractions and felonies in terms of severity. Texas classifies them into three categories, two of which we write bonds for:

• Class A – The most serious (e.g., DWI second offense, assault causing bodily injury)
• Class B – Mid-level offenses (e.g., criminal trespass, DWI first offense)

Charges we are asked about most often:

• Driving while intoxicated (DWI)
• Shoplifting or petty theft
• Resisting arrest
• Simple assault

While these charges may seem minor, a conviction can still lead to fines, probation, jail time, and a permanent criminal record, potentially affecting your job, housing, and reputation.

How the Misdemeanor Bail Process Works

01. After an arrest, the individual is taken to jail for booking, where their fingerprints, photo, and personal information are recorded. The court then sets bail—an amount of money that acts as a promise the defendant will appear in court.

02. For most misdemeanors, bail is set according to a standard schedule, though a judge may adjust the amount. Once bail is posted, the individual can be released from custody and begin preparing their legal defense outside of jail.

03. But navigating this process can be stressful—especially in the middle of the night or on a weekend. That’s where Chapman’s Bail Bonds steps in.
