Posting Bail to Get Out of Jail During the Holidays

 Posted on November 30,2020 in Bail Bonds

Being arrested and taken to jail can be a difficult situation to deal with at any time of the year, but it can be especially worrisome during the holiday season. During this time, alcohol consumption often increases due to holiday gatherings and parties, and this may lead to arrests for DWI. Arrests may also occur because of unpaid traffic tickets, accusations of family violence, shoplifting, or other forms of theft at busy stores, or allegations of other serious misdemeanor or felony offenses. 

Those who are arrested may be concerned about whether courts will be closed during the holidays or if personnel will be available to ensure that they can post bail and get out of jail. Fortunately, Doc’s Bail Bonds is available 24/7/365 to address your needs. Whether you are currently in prison, or you are looking to help a friend or family member post bail and get released, we can provide help over the phone or through email, or we can meet you at any jail or courthouse in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We will make sure you follow the right procedures to get out of jail as quickly as possible, ensuring that you will not miss any important time with your family and friends during the holiday season.

Options for Paying Bail

One major concern that you may have during the holidays is whether you will be able to afford the costs of paying your bail amount. Money may already be tight as you are buying gifts for your loved ones or participating in holiday celebrations, and you may be unable to put down thousands of dollars to get released from jail.

At Doc’s Bail Bonds, we work to make the process of posting bail as affordable as possible. You will typically only be required to pay us 10 percent of the total amount of bail. If you are unable to pay this amount right away, we can set up an affordable financing plan without performing any credit checks, or we can hold collateral for you until you are able to make other payment arrangements.

Travel Restrictions

One other issue that you may need to be aware of is whether an arrest and bail bond will affect your holiday travel plans. In some cases, a judge may set conditions for posting bail, including requiring you to remain within a certain geographical area or check in with the court regularly, and these restrictions may prevent you from traveling out of state. Our bail agents can help you understand your requirements, and we will check in with you during your case to make sure you are meeting all of the conditions that have been put in place.
