A bail bond can typically be posted any time of day or night once the bond amount has been set by a judge.
However, the arrest process itself usually follows this sequence:
After an arrest, the individual is transported to jail where they are processed through the booking system. This typically includes fingerprinting, photographs, and documentation of the charges.
Under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 15.17, the arrested individual must be taken before a magistrate without unnecessary delay, generally within 48 hours.
During this hearing, the judge will:
• inform the defendant of the charges
• explain their legal rights
• determine whether bail will be granted
Once bail has been set, the bonding process can begin.
Families often expect someone to be released immediately after bail has been posted, but the jail must still complete several internal procedures.
Typical release estimates in Harris County are:
approximately 8 to 12 hours after the bond has been posted
Release times may vary depending on:
• jail staffing levels
• number of inmates being processed
• time of day
• internal jail procedures
Our team works quickly to complete the bond paperwork so the jail release process can begin as soon as possible.
Because arrests can occur at any time, having access to a 24 hour bail bond company ensures that families can begin the process immediately once bail has been set.
Professional bail bond agents help by:
• explaining the bail process
• preparing paperwork quickly

For many families, working with an experienced bail bond company helps reduce stress and confusion during a difficult situation.
When contacting a bail bond agent, it can be helpful to have the following information available if possible:
• the full legal name of the person in custody
• date of birth
• the jail where the person is being held
• booking number, if available
• bail amount, if known
If you do not have all of this information, a bail bond agent can often help locate the inmate in the jail system.
After a defendant is released on bail, they must follow all conditions set by the court and appear for all scheduled court hearings.
These conditions may include:
• attending all court appearances
• avoiding additional criminal activity
• complying with any pre-trial supervision requirements
Failure to appear in court can result in:
• a bench warrant for arrest
• bond forfeiture
• additional criminal charges
