Felony Bail Bonds in Potter County

Felony bail bonds work the same way as misdemeanor bonds but with higher bail amounts and more paperwork. Here is what you need to know.

Felony Levels in Texas

Texas has four main levels of felony charges, and bail amounts go up with each level. Here is a plain breakdown:

State Jail Felony — The least serious felony level. Examples include small amount drug possession and certain theft charges. Bail typically ranges from $1,500 to $10,000.

Third Degree Felony — More serious charges like repeat DWI or certain assault offenses. Bail typically ranges from $5,000 to $25,000.

Second Degree Felony — Charges like robbery or serious assault. Bail often ranges from $10,000 to $75,000 or more.

First Degree Felony — The most serious non-capital charges. Bail can be $50,000 to several hundred thousand dollars depending on the case.

Why Getting Out Matters in a Felony Case

Felony cases in Potter County can take a year or more to resolve. Every day in custody is a day away from work, family, and the ability to help build your own defense. Being out on bond lets you work with your attorney, gather evidence, and maintain your life while the case moves forward.

How We Handle Felony Bonds

Felony bonds take more paperwork and sometimes more time than misdemeanor bonds. The process at the Potter County Detention Center involves more review, and the bail amount is higher, so we take extra steps to make sure everything is done right.

Here is what makes felony bonds different:

  • Higher bail amounts mean higher premiums - but the rate is still 10%
  • Some felony bonds require a co-signer to guarantee the bond
  • Collateral may be needed for very high bail amounts
  • Release conditions from the court may include travel limits or check-ins
  • Our bondsmen follow up through the full court process to make sure no dates are missed

We handle felony bonds in Amarillo, Canyon, Borger, Pampa, Hereford, Dumas, and throughout all Texas Panhandle counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Felony Bail Bond FAQ - Amarillo TX

Common questions about felony bail bonds in Potter County and the Texas Panhandle.

A felony is more serious than a misdemeanor and carries heavier penalties. Texas misdemeanors are Class A, B, or C. Texas felonies range from state jail felonies through third, second, and first degree felonies. Capital felonies, such as capital murder, cannot be bonded in Texas.
Bail for a state jail felony in Potter County typically starts around $1,500 to $5,000. Third degree felonies may be $5,000 to $25,000. Second degree felonies often range from $10,000 to $75,000. First degree felony bail can be $50,000 or more. The magistrate sets the exact amount based on the case and the defendant's history.
Yes. We post felony bonds at the Potter County Detention Center regularly. Our bondsmen have direct working relationships with the facility and know how to navigate the felony bond process there efficiently.
Not always. Co-signers are more commonly needed for higher-level felonies or large bail amounts. For state jail felonies and some third degree felonies with manageable bail amounts, a co-signer may not be required. We go over this with you before any paperwork is signed.
Collateral is not required for most felony bonds we write. For very large bail amounts, typically over $50,000, we may discuss collateral options. We are always upfront about requirements before you commit to anything.
Travel restrictions are often attached to felony bonds as a condition of release by the court. The defendant may be required to stay in Potter County, in Texas, or in the United States depending on the case. Violating travel conditions results in immediate bond revocation.
If the case is dismissed, the bail bond is exonerated and the bondsman's obligation ends. The 10% premium you paid is not refunded because it is the fee for the service. Any collateral pledged is returned when the bond is exonerated.
Felony cases in Potter County can take anywhere from several months to a year or more depending on the charge, the court schedule, and whether the case goes to trial. Being out on bond during that entire period is far better than sitting in the Potter County Detention Center waiting.
Yes. We handle all felony levels including first degree felonies in Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle. First degree felony bail can be very high and may require additional arrangements, but we handle these cases and will walk you through every step.
Yes. We offer payment plans on felony bonds with as little as 50% of the premium down on qualifying cases. Call us at (806) 513-4989 and we will go over payment options based on your specific situation.
