Describing the Texas Attorney Bail Bond

Describing what the Texas Attorney Bail Bond is and how it works. Or said another way, What is a Texas Criminal Defense Attorney Bail Bond? Can Texas criminal defense attorneys post bail? The answer is yes, they can post bail via their legal or county approved bond authority. But sometimes having your criminal defense attorney also be the holder of your bond can present problems as sometimes they have a different interest. So it's not always the best way to do it, but sometimes you can save money on doing it. So it is an option.

In sum, yes they can but from personal opinion using one’s attorney to post bond can be economically effective if the matter involves a smaller type of alleged offense that will not be contested via trial. Alternatively, a more serious type of allegation that will likely be contested it is likely prudent to keep the legal representation and bonding service separate.

It is a hard day in Court when a Defendant’s attorney who is supposed to be defending them is advocating for the Court to release them from the bond. This begs into question that shouldn’t a Defense Attorney actually advocate for the opposite of actually maintaining the current bond? Again, not an every day occurrence but not an anomaly either.
