Why Houston Families Call Us on a Felony
A felony is serious, and the process moves fast. From your first call, here is what your family can count on while we work to bring your loved one home.
You will never wonder where things stand. We tell you what is happening, what comes next, and how close release is, from the first call until your loved one walks out of the jail.
A felony charge does not define your family, and we never treat it that way. Every call is handled with respect and no judgment, on one of the hardest days you will face.
Felony arrests happen at every hour, so we work at every hour too. A licensed bondsman answers nights, weekends, and holidays, and we can start a felony bond the minute you reach us.
Our agents are licensed and work the Harris County jails and courts every day. That experience means we post at the right facility the first time and skip the delays that keep families waiting.
Felony bonds cost more, so we make them manageable. We build a plan around your budget, with a low amount down, so the bond does not keep your loved one locked up.
Felony Charges We Bond Out
We post bonds for felony charges of every level across Houston and Harris County. These are the felony cases we handle most often, and we can post the bond fast on any of them.
Aggravated robbery is a first degree felony in Texas when a weapon is shown or someone is hurt during a theft. Bail is set high, so we move quickly to post the bond and get your loved one out while the case is worked.
Larger amounts, or any delivery or intent to deliver, turn a drug case into a felony under the Texas Health and Safety Code. We post these bonds fast and explain how the weight and type of substance shape both the charge and the bail.
A family violence assault becomes a felony with a prior conviction, choking, or serious injury. These cases move fast and carry release conditions, so we post the bond and walk your family through the no-contact and bond terms in plain words.
Burglary of a habitation is a second degree felony in Texas, while burglary of a building is a state jail felony. Whichever it is, we post the bond fast, explain what the degree means for bail, and start the release without guesswork.
A third DWI, a DWI with a child in the car, or a crash that injures someone can all rise to a felony. We post bonds for felony DWI and intoxication assault around the clock and explain the conditions the court sets on release.
A felon in possession of a firearm is a serious charge under both Texas and federal law. We post the bond quickly, explain how a prior record affects the bail the court sets, and keep your family updated through every step of the release.
Where a Felony Is Booked and Bonded in Harris County
Almost every felony arrest in Houston is booked into the Harris County Joint Processing Center, where the person is fingerprinted, seen by a magistrate, and held until a bond is posted. Because felony bail runs high, it pays to confirm the exact charge and amount on the county inmate search and to learn how a magistrate sets bail before you post.
When the case is filed in a neighboring county, a licensed bondsman posts there too, from the Fort Bend and Montgomery County jails to Brazoria and Galveston. Tell us which jail is holding your loved one, and we handle the transfer paperwork.
Three Steps to a Felony Release
A felony bond has more moving parts than a small case, so we keep the path clear, from your first call to the moment your loved one walks out of the jail.
We locate your loved one, confirm the felony charge, and pull the bail the magistrate set. On a felony that number runs high, so we review it and the plan before anything is signed.
You pay a percentage of the bail, not the whole amount, and we can build a plan with a low sum down. We then present the full bond to the court handling the felony.
We deliver the bond to the Harris County jail and push for the fastest release the felony booking allows. We stay in touch until your loved one walks out with a court date.

Common Bail Bond Questions
Quick answers to what Houston families ask us most, from cost and timing to holds and personal bonds.
Felony Bail Bond FAQ
Facing a felony brings a lot of questions. These are the ones Houston families ask us most about felony bonds, the cost, the timeline, and how we work.
Is it really 10% – what do I pay on a felony bond?
In most cases the premium is about ten percent of the total bail the court sets. On a felony that can still be a large number, so we put the exact cost in writing before you sign and set up a plan if you need one. You never face a surprise balance.
Do you offer payment plans for felony bonds?
Yes. Felony bail is usually higher, so most families use a plan. We work out an amount you can manage, often with a low payment down, and spread the rest over time. Our goal is to keep the cost from standing between your loved one and release.
How fast can you get someone out on a felony?
Once the bond is approved and paid, we post it right away and work directly with the jail. Felony releases from Harris County usually take a few hours, though busy booking periods run longer. We push to shorten that wait as much as we can.
Can you help if the arrest was in another county?
Yes. We post felony bonds across Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Galveston, and Brazoria counties, and we can arrange transfer bonds when the arrest happens outside the county where the case sits. Tell us the jail, and we handle the paperwork.
Is the felony bond premium refundable?
The premium is the fee to post the bond, and it is earned once we post, so it is not refunded when the case ends. Any collateral you put up is returned after the bond is discharged. We explain exactly what is and is not refundable up front.
