Travis County Personal Bond: How Do They Work? | Austin Criminal Defense

Austin Criminal Defense Attorney Charlie Roadman explains the concept of Texas bail bonds and the workings of a personal bond in Travis County. A personal bond is essentially a contract between the individual, the county, and the judge, ensuring the individual's appearance in court on the assigned date. Failure to appear can lead to a warrant and the county may sue for the bond amount. While judges typically agree to personal bonds in misdemeanor cases, there are instances where they might not.

Unlike traditional bonds, where a substantial amount might be required (ranging from thousands of dollars), a personal bond usually involves a smaller fee payable to Travis County. This fee varies and could include additional costs for specific conditions like an ignition interlock device. The most critical information on the bond includes the court date and location, which is provided in a legal format on the bond's first page.
