What is a Bail Bond?
A bail bond is an agreement made to release someone from jail while they wait for their trial in return for money given to the court. If someone is arrested and charged, they can be kept in jail until their trial to make sure they show up in court. But the law allows some people to be released if they’re not a risk of running away or a threat, and bail is the way to make that happen.
What to Expect
Arrest
A person gets taken to jail if they are arrested.
Bail Hearing
A judge sets the bail—that’s the cash amount needed to leave jail.
Paying Bail
You can pay the full bail with cash or get a bail bond agent to cover most of it; you pay them a smaller fee.
Getting Out
After bail is paid, you get out of jail with the promise to come back for all your court hearings.
Going to Court
It’s important to show up for every court date. If you skip it, there could be serious consequences.
Case Resolution
When everything in court is finished, the bail money or property used for bail is given back, except for any fees.
For those in need of expert bail services, Southern Bail Bonds is here to give you guidance and aid around the clock.

Bail Bonds FAQs
When someone is arrested, they are booked, and then the court sets a price for their release, called bail. After bail is set, you can quickly reach out to our bail bond agents at Southern Bail Bonds. Our agents are licensed professionals who can handle the bail paperwork and payments. They make sure your friend or family member gets out of jail fast. Working with Southern Bail Bonds is easy, and we’ll start assisting you once the jail’s booking process is done.
The time it takes for someone to be released on bail varies. Filling out the bail bond paperwork usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes. Once we submit the paperwork to the jail, the release process is pretty quick. For local police stations, it’s typically an hour or less. For larger county jails, it might take between 4 to 8 hours. Keep in mind, bigger jails might have longer release times. Southern Bail Bonds works fast to get your loved ones out as quickly as possible.
No, the bail bond premium isn’t returned. When the bail bond has been given to and accepted by the court or jail, there’s a commitment made on the bond. As of that moment, the bail bond premium is considered fully earned and can’t be given back.
Judges or magistrates set the bail amount. In Kaufman County, the County Judge might use a bail schedule that lists standard amounts for common crimes. Alternatively, the Judge can decide the bail for each case individually. If bail is set, a defendant can either pay the full amount or choose to work with a surety, like a Kaufman Bail Bonds agent, to handle the bond.
The defendant must get written permission from the bonding office to travel out of the state or country while on bond. Moreover, if the court has specifically ordered not to leave, then you must also get permission from both the bail agent and the court. Without these permissions, the defendant risks being arrested.
Yes, we offer payment plans to simplify bailing someone out. Generally, you’ll start with a down payment, a part of the fee, and then we’ll arrange a payment plan for the balance. This helps make bail bonds more manageable financially.
Bondsmen usually take different kinds of things as bail collateral. You can use items like houses, cars, or jewelry. Each bail bonds service may have their own rules about what they accept.
If the person you helped bail out misses their court date, the court will forfeit the bond and issue an arrest warrant. They will also be entered into state and national tracking systems, and they could get caught. The Bail Agency will receive a notice about the missed court appearance and will usually try to contact the person through their home, work, or other known places to locate them and get a new court date set. As the person who signed for the bond, you should urge them to attend court as soon as possible. If they show up in court quickly, you might only have to pay a small fee for missing the appearance and possibly some court costs. However, if the person runs away and can’t be found in time, you’re responsible for paying the full bond amount.
You’ll need the following details to post bail:
- The full name of the person in jail.
- The location of the jail in which they’re held.
- Their booking number.
- The charges against them.
- The bail amount set by the court.
If you’re having trouble finding the inmate or need more information on their arrest, we can help find what’s needed and explain what must be done to bail them out.
To apply for a bail bond, you’ll need to provide:
- A valid ID from the government or military, or a valid passport.
- Your latest proof of earnings, like recent pay stubs or proof of direct income deposits.
- A document that verifies your home address.
- Monetary funds or an item of value for collateral if required for the bail bond’s cost or a deposit.

Kaufman County Information
If someone gets arrested and taken to a local jail, like the one in Kaufman, they need to try to get bail quickly. Southern Bail Bonds is one of the fastest bail bondsman companies in Kaufman County.
In smaller jails, everything happens faster – it takes about:
- 1 to 1.5 hours for them to be processed into jail.
- Around an hour for a magistrate to set the bail amount.
- Another 1 to 1.5 hours to get out on bail if someone pays it.
But if they can’t get bail fast enough, they get sent to the Dallas County jail, the Lew Sterrett Detention Center. Over there, it’s a much longer process – like 6-7 hours just to get processed in, another hour to have bail set, and then another 6-7 hours to get released if they make bail.
If you find yourself or a loved one detained at a local jail, it’s really important to sort out bail quickly at the local jails to avoid the longer wait times at Lew Sterrett. However, some of the smaller jails may not have a magistrate on duty outside of normal hours or on weekends.
