Bond Reduction Process to Lower Texas Bail
Thankfully, if the initial Bond is to high there is a process to Lower Texas Bail.
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 reduced, that likewise is done by a county court at law judge or a state district judge.
Remember that if doing research you might see different TYPES of Writs of Habeas Corpus involving different areas of criminal law such as post conviction challenges, post appeal issues, new evidence, prosecutorial misconduct, etc. Do not confuse these other types of Writs of Habeas Corpus that are filed in varied courts to the type of Writ of Habeas Corpus requesting that the current Bail be lowered. Again, a Writ of Habeas Corpus asking to court to lower Bail at this level is truly nothing more than a Motion Requesting Bond Reduction as reflected in the above title.
