Texas - Who Decides the Initial Bond? Can It Be Lowered?

Sometimes it's asked who will actually set my loved one's bond or my friend's bond. If they're arrested and taken to a municipal judge, it's usually a municipal judge that will actually set that initial bond. If they're arrested and taken to the county jail, it's usually a justice of the peace. Now, likewise, if for some reason there's a holiday or there's an oversight and they don't immediately get a bond, a local county court at law or a local district judge can set the bond, or if you're filing something like we previously discussed, a writ of habeas corpus asking that the bond be lowered, that likewise is done by a county court at law judge or a state district judge. 

Now finally, if a loved one is in need of bond do not hesitate to use the Bail Bond Marketplace where Bondsmen compete to give the best terms. BailBondBidsNow.com
