As I career criminal, I've had my fair share of people helping me get
out of the slammer. I've met all kinds
of bail agents: shady and crooked to the model citizen who truly cares about
your well being. Hate to brake it to
you, but not every company you call is willing to help you out. You see, a felony is the most serious of
crimes in Texas. This means whatever you've been charged with, it's pretty
bad. And as you guessed it, not all
companies want to help the really bad guys get out of jail. So I'm here to help
you increase the odds of finding someone to get out of jail and back to your
job at the local mini mart. You're
welcome.
Make Friends With A Bail Bondsman
If you face felony charges and you need help posting bail, you'll need
to make friends with the right people.
I've heard McRae Bail Bonds in Texas is great about helping people get
out of jail. See how that works? If
you're facing felony charges, it may not be in your nature to make friends with
strangers. But, you need to try to get
an inside connection, otherwise you're eating cold turkey and drinking warm
milk for the next 7 to 10 months. The
best way to connect with a bail bondsman
is to send them a friendship bracelet and a $25 gift card to
Starbucks. Seriously, these guys work
all hours of the day and they love their coffee. Or you can just look for a BBB recommendation!!
Wait For The Bail Agent to Respond
Once you send the care package,
patiently wait for the company to get back to you. If an agent is willing to help you, they will
visit you in jail and begin to make arrangements to get you out. If you don't hear back within a couple
months, you may want to try another company.
I hope it doesn't get to this point.
I know how difficult it is to sit behind bars, wishing you were at your
daughter's ballet recital or your son's t-ball game. Hang in there. Your time will come. If a company agrees to help you, you're going
to need to provide the company will several key pieces of information such as a
DNA sample, the keys to your lake house and a 50% cash deposit. I realize these requests seem a little odd,
but what's the price of your freedom? Okay. That's what I thought.
24 Hour Bail Bonds
Before you sign an agreement, make sure they are available 24/7, 365
days a year. As an accused felon, awaiting trial, you're going to need someone
you can count on every second of every day.
When you're out of jail, you need to make sure you know when you're next
court appearance will be and when you're jury trial will begin. Your friends and company of choice will be
your anchor during this time of transition.
Plus, if you have a mental break down at 3 a.m. you want to call your
bail bond agent for advice and counseling.
Also, after you post bail make
sure you know what you can and can't do while you're a free man. For example, if you've been charged with a
violent offense, a judge may require you to stay at least 100 yards away from
the alleged victim in your case. If you
break the terms of your release, you will head straight back to jail without
the possibility of bond.
Bail Bond Agent Requirements
Finding someone you can trust during a time of chaos and confusion is
difficult. In my experience, the best
bail bond agents are compassionate, caring and listen to you without
interruption. By law anyone practicing
in this particular field must pass a series of exams and mental health
evaluations. These specific guidelines
guarantee you will be getting the best help available for your particular
circumstances and unique needs. If you
ever need help finding someone to get you out of jail, I routinely accept
collect calls from the local jail and will help guide you in the right
direction for an big fee. Sorry, but I'm
not running charity here. I'd love to hear from you soon!
