How Our Payment Plans Work
We make bail bond costs as manageable as possible for families in Amarillo, Canyon, Borger, Pampa, and throughout the Texas Panhandle.
What You Pay and When
Texas law sets the bail bond premium at 10% of the total bail amount. That is the same for every licensed bondsman in the state. What makes us different is how we help you pay it.
On most bonds, we require just 50% of the premium down at the time the bond is posted. The rest is worked out on a payment schedule based on your situation. We do not use a one-size-fits-all plan.
For example, if bail is set at $5,000, your premium is $500. With our payment plan, you pay $250 down and we post the bond immediately. Your loved one comes home while the remaining balance is paid over time.
Why We Offer Payment Plans
A bail bond should not sit out of reach because of a tight budget. The whole point of commercial bail is to keep 90% of the bail amount in your hands. We want to make sure the remaining 10% premium is just as reachable.
What We Look At
When we talk about payment plans, we look at a few simple things:
- The type of charge and bail amount
- Whether it is a first offense or repeat charge
- The defendant's history of showing up to court
- Your ability to make payments over time
No collateral is required on most misdemeanor bonds and many lower-level felony bonds. For higher bail amounts, we may talk about other arrangements, but we always explain everything clearly before any paper is signed.
We serve families in Amarillo, Canyon, Borger, Pampa, Hereford, Dumas, and all surrounding Texas Panhandle communities. Distance is not a problem - we can handle everything by phone.
