In Texas, there are several types of bail or bond that can be used in a criminal case:
This is a set amount of money that must be paid in full in order to be released from jail. The money is returned to the defendant once they have appeared in court as required.
This is a bond that is posted by a bail bond company, which guarantees the defendant’s appearance in court in exchange for a fee. The bail bond company may require collateral, such as property or jewelry, as security for the bond.
In some cases, a defendant may be released on their own recognizance, without the need for any financial obligation. This is known as a personal bond. The defendant is released on the condition that they will appear in court as required.
This type of bond may include conditions that the defendant must follow in order to be released, such as abstaining from drug use or remaining within a certain geographic area.
It’s important to note that the type of bail or bond that is available in a particular case will depend on a variety of factors, including the nature of the charges, the defendant’s criminal history, and the risk of flight.
