How Does A Surety Bond Work?
Surety bonds guarantee that specific tasks are handled to the specified deadlines by bringing three parties together in a legally binding contract, but who are those three parties, and what do they do?
The Principle*
The Principle is the person requesting a bondsman to obtain or post bail for an individual.
The Obligee*
The Obligee is the bondsman who works alongside surety insurance companies to obtain a bond for any individual, helping them get themselves or their loved ones out of jail.
The Surety
The Surety is the insurance company that supplies the bond to protect the Obligee.
*** Sometimes the principle and the obligee are the same person.
Misdemeanor Bail
A misdemeanor crime is where a crime occurs, but it is not generally going to cause a prison term. If found guilty, a person accused of a misdemeanor could receive county jail time to serve, probation, deferred adjudication, or fines and court costs.
Misdemeanor crimes include driving under the influence, possessing marijuana, theft, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and other similar crimes.
Felony Bail
A felony crime is where a defendant may be incarcerated at a State of Texas Department of Corrections facility. Due to felony crimes being more serious, they generally have higher bail bonds.
Felony crimes can consist of murder, armed robbery, rape, narcotics violations, child molestation, and many other charges that a defendant is accused of.
What To Do If You’re Arrested
When a person is arrested, steps must occur from the point of the arrest to when you are eligible for bail. The arresting officer must complete paperwork before leaving the scene with a prisoner. They will then drive to the jail, which can take a few minutes or a long time, depending on the size of the county and jail location. Upon being brought into the jail, a correctional officer will begin the book-in process and advise the arrestee to remain in a certain location. When they are ready, this process can take a while. Depending on how many prisoners other officers bring into the jail, they will fingerprint and photograph you. When the intake paperwork is complete, the jail officer will advise the inmate on the specific charges and the bond amount. Then, and only then, will you be able to use the phone to try and secure your bail.
Make sure that you have your family or loved one that you contact. Call Caprock Bail Bonds at 806-722-2120. We understand that the time frame you have been incarcerated has been long enough, and we will work rapidly to get you out on reasonable bail.
