What is Bail?

In short, Bail is the security – cash – or bond given that allows an accused person to be temporarily released from custody so that they can continue their lives while preparing for court.

What determines how much Bail is?

Bail amounts in Texas are set on a county level by the County Bail Boards. Annually, the county reviews the bail schedule and publish it for public and law enforcement use. When setting bail amounts, public safety is always the first consideration. The more severe the crime, the higher the bail amount. County bail schedules will generally include bail amounts for crimes as well as crimes plus extenuating circumstances.
