HOW BAIL WORKS
Based on public information from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.
Booking & Intake
After an arrest in Montgomery County, the person is transported to the Montgomery County Jail for booking — property inventory, medical/mental health screening, identity verification, fingerprinting and photographs.
Magistrate Hearing (Article 15.17)
Within roughly 24–48 hours, the defendant appears before a magistrate who explains the charges, informs them of their rights, and sets or confirms the bail amount.
We Post the Bond
Once we have the defendant's information and the bond amount, we prepare the paperwork and post the surety bond with the court — most cases move within hours, not days.
Release & Court Dates
The jail processes the release once the bond is accepted. The defendant is given upcoming court dates — showing up to every one is a condition of the bond.
