What to Expect After a DUI Arrest in Amarillo

Understanding the DUI booking and bail process at the Potter County Detention Center helps you move faster and make better decisions when every hour counts.

The DUI Arrest and Booking Process

When someone is arrested for DUI in Amarillo, they are typically transported to the Potter County Detention Center at 9160 NE 24th Ave. The booking process involves fingerprinting, photographing, and a records check. A magistrate will then review the case and set a bail amount.

For a standard first-offense DUI in Potter County, this process usually takes several hours. Once bail is set, a bondsman can post the bond and the release process begins. Most DUI defendants in Amarillo can be released the same night as the arrest if the bond is posted promptly.

If the arrest occurred in south Amarillo or Canyon, the defendant may be held at the Randall County Jail at 9400 Georgia St. We post DUI bonds at both facilities.

DUI Bail Bond Quick Facts

First offense DUI bail typically ranges from $500 to $2,000 in Potter County. The bond premium is 10% of bail as set by Texas law. We offer payment plans with 50% down on most DUI bonds. No collateral required on first-offense bonds.

Misdemeanor vs. Felony DUI in Texas

The severity of a DUI charge in Texas - and the resulting bail amount - depends on several factors:

  • A first offense DUI is typically a Class B misdemeanor with lower bail
  • A second offense DUI is a Class A misdemeanor and may carry higher bail
  • A third or subsequent DUI is a third degree felony with significantly higher bail
  • DUI with a child passenger is a state jail felony
  • DUI causing serious injury is an intoxication assault - a third degree felony
  • DUI causing death is intoxication manslaughter - a second degree felony

Our bondsmen handle all DUI charge levels in Amarillo. The bond amount and paperwork differ between misdemeanor and felony DUI, but we navigate both regularly. Call us immediately regardless of charge level and we will assess the situation and begin working on the bond.
