Frequently Asked Questions

Check out the frequently asked questions that we have had over the years or feel free to give us a call to answer any of your questions. We’re here to provide guidance and help get your loved one out of jail as quickly as possible—without wasting a minute.

What is a bail bond, and how does it work?

A bail bond is a financial guarantee that allows someone to be released from jail before their trial. When you hire a bail bondsman, we pay the full bail amount to the court on your behalf in exchange for a fee, usually 10% of the total bail. This ensures the person will appear in court for their hearings. If they fail to show up, you may be required to pay the full bail amount.

How much does a bail bond cost?

The standard cost of a bail bond through ABC Bail Bonds is typically 10% of the full bail amount. For instance, if a judge sets bail at $10,000, you would generally pay $1,000 to the bail bond company for their service. This fee is non-refundable and serves as the company's charge for taking on the risk and helping to secure the defendant’s release.

What if I can’t afford the bail bond fee?

ABC Bail Bonds understands that not everyone can pay the entire bond fee upfront. They offer flexible payment plans to help you manage the financial burden. The company works with clients to create a payment schedule that fits their budget, making it easier for individuals to secure a loved one's release without a heavy immediate financial strain.

How long does it take to get someone out of jail?

The time it takes to release someone from jail can vary depending on the detention facility and other factors. However, ABC Bail Bonds prides itself on acting quickly and efficiently. Thanks to their close proximity to Harris County Jail and their service, they often can secure a release within a few hours after the bail bond paperwork is completed.

What happens if the person doesn’t show up for their court date?

If the defendant fails to appear for their court date, it can have serious consequences. The court will issue a bench warrant for the person's arrest, and the bail bond company becomes responsible for the full bail amount. ABC Bail Bonds will work to locate and return the defendant to custody.
