Why Texas City Families Call Us
Texas City sits on Galveston Bay, home to the Texas City Dike and a large petrochemical complex. If your family got that call, we explain the bond in plain terms.
By Texas custom, the fee is often around ten percent of the bail. On a $5,000 bail, that comes to about $500. You see the full cost in writing before you sign.
Our agents treat your loved one as a person with a court date and a family waiting at home. Whatever the charge, you get courtesy and patience on each call.
You can start a Texas City bond from home, by phone or online. That saves you a midnight drive across Loop 197 to fill out forms.
We tell you when booking finishes and when the bond reaches the jail, so you can stop calling the Texas City Jail for news and focus on your family.
First arrest in the family? We explain what a surety bond is, a bondsman’s promise to the court that the full bail will be paid, and what you owe, at your pace.
Texas City Bail Bonds for Every Charge
We post bonds for arrests anywhere in Texas City, from the neighborhoods inside Loop 197 to the homes near College of the Mainland. These six charges are the ones we see here most.
In Texas City, Class C offenses, which carry a fine only, go to the Municipal Court at 1004 9th Avenue North. Class B and Class A misdemeanors move to the Galveston County courts. We post bonds at both levels.
A family violence arrest in Texas City can come with a magistrate’s order for emergency protection, which may bar contact or keep someone away from home. We post the bond and go over those terms with your family first.
Theft charges in Texas City rise with the dollar value, from a Class C fine for small amounts to a felony for larger losses. We post theft and shoplifting bonds fast and explain the court date your loved one must keep.
Weapons charges range from unlawful carrying, often a misdemeanor, to felony counts such as possession by a felon. The bail rises with the level. Our agents post weapons bonds in Texas City and explain any conditions the magistrate sets.
Aggravated assault is a felony in Texas, so bail tends to run high and the conditions can be strict. We handle larger bonds, explain collateral in plain words, and stay in touch until the first court setting.
A surety bond lets you pay a percentage instead of the full bail, because a licensed bondsman guarantees the rest to the court. That keeps more cash in your pocket than a cash bond. We compare both options for your case before you sign.
Three Simple Steps to a Texas City Bail Bond
After bail is set, you pay a small portion of the full amount, online or in person, to start the release. We explain the cost clearly before anything is signed.
We work with you to build a payment plan that fits your budget. Flexible options and low down payments mean that cost should never keep your loved one in jail.
Our agents present the court with the full bond amount and handle the paperwork directly with the jail, securing your loved one’s release as quickly as the facility allows.

Texas City Bail Bond FAQ
Texas City families tend to ask us the same few things when the phone rings late at night. These answers cover ZIP codes, low down payments, charge levels, and how long a bond lasts.
We cover all of Texas City, including ZIP codes 77590 and 77591, plus 77592 for post office boxes. Some edges of town share ZIP codes with La Marque and Dickinson, and we cover those neighbors too, along with Clear Lake Shores arrests booked at the Texas City Jail.
In many cases, yes. A payment plan lets you start with part of the fee and pay the rest over time. The down payment depends on the bail amount, the charge, and the cosigner, so we give you a real number on the first call instead of a guess.
More on cost: How much does a bail bond cost?
Yes. We post bonds for Class C cases at the Texas City Municipal Court, misdemeanors in the Galveston County courts, and felonies in the county district courts. If the Texas City Marshals Office is holding a Class C warrant, we can help with that bond as well.
A bail bond stays in place until the case ends, through a dismissal, a plea, or a verdict, as long as the defendant keeps each court date. When the case closes, the court releases the bond, which is called exoneration, and the cosigner’s obligation ends.
Related: What does bail bond exonerated mean?
Either works. You can finish the paperwork by phone or online, or meet our agent in person. We take the bond to the Texas City Jail or the Galveston County Jail ourselves, so you can stay with your family while we handle the jail.
