| POSTING
BOND |
When a person is arrested for an outstanding Class C misdemeanor
warrant, he/she may be able to post a surety or appearance bond
to secure a release from jail while awaiting a hearing on the case.
If the defendant has an outstanding capias pro fine warrant, only
full payment of the amount owed in cash or money order is acceptable. |
| |
| SURETY/APPEARANCE
BONDS |
To obtain an appearance/surety bond, you should contact a surety
who has the proper authority to post a bond with the Court. The
surety will collect a fee for this service. The fee is generally
a percentage of the total bail required to pay the fines. The surety
fee is generally non-refundable and is not paid to the Court for
the citation(s). An Appearance/Surety Bond will be the amount of
the fines/fees owed. |
| |
| CASH
BONDS |
Upon being arrested for outstanding Class C misdemeanor warrants,
a defendant always has the ability to pay the total fines owed
in cash to secure his or her release from jail. This is called
posting a cash bond. The cash bond is generally collected at the
jail where the defendant is incarcerated. The amount owed for outstanding
warrants is forwarded from that jail to the Glenn Heights Municipal
Court of Record. |
| |
After the Court receives the cash bond payment, the defendant
will be notified of the date, time, and place of his or her bond
hearing. Defendant is responsible for notifying the Court of any
address changes. Failure to appear this hearing may result in the
forfeiture of the cash bond(s) toward payment of the fines owed.
If the Defendant appears at the bond hearing, he or she may still
have the ability to request deferred disposition to keep the offenses
from appearing on his or her driving/criminal record. |
