The Bail Bonds Process

Simple steps to get your loved one home fast.

When someone you love is arrested, the bail process can feel overwhelming. At Elliott's Bail Bonds, we make it as simple and stress-free as possible. Here is exactly how it works when you call us.

1

Call Us at (936) 494-4444

Call Elliott's Bail Bonds any time — day or night, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A live agent will answer immediately. Have the following information ready if possible: the name of the person arrested, which jail they are in, and the charge if known. We will handle everything from there.

2

Co-Sign Documents and Set Up Payment

Once we have the details, we will walk you through the paperwork. You co-sign the bond documents, and we set up your payment. The standard fee in Texas is 10% of the total bail amount — this is a non-refundable premium for our services. We offer flexible payment plans if you need help covering the cost. Our goal is to make sure money is never the reason your family stays separated.

Your Loved One Is Released

After we post the bond, the jail begins processing the release. Usually within 6 to 12 hours after the bond is posted, your loved one will be released. Processing times vary by facility, but our team stays in contact with the jail throughout to keep things moving as fast as possible.

What to Expect After Release

  • The defendant must appear at ALL scheduled court dates — missing a court date can result in bond forfeiture and re-arrest.
  • Follow all conditions set by the judge, including check-ins, travel restrictions, or substance testing if required.
  • Stay in contact with your attorney and monitor upcoming court dates closely.
  • The bond remains active until the case is fully resolved — dismissed, plea deal, or verdict.
