Quick explanation being provided by BailBondBidsNow.com - describing the Texas Evidence Needed to Request Lower Bail in Texas:

When an Arrestee in Texas is unable to make bond they or their attorney can file a Writ of Habeas Corpus - a fancy name for requesting that the Court lower the current bond amount. The Court is supposed to consider what bond amount will insure the Arrestee will return to court and not present a danger to the community. In order to have the best chance at lowering the bond certain things might want to be filed with the Writ of Habeas Corpus. Some of these sample items that might be helpful if submitted with the Writ are as follows:

  • List of individuals who will vouch for your future court appearance

  • Any locally owned property

  • Proof of continued employment

  • Proof of available residence

  • Proof of local family ties

  • Proof of lack of criminal history

  • Proof of enrolled counseling if released

  • Proof of residence

  • Proof of retained counsel

These are just a sampling of items that the Court can consider when deciding if to lower one’s bond. Be sure to think this through when preparing your Writ or preparing with your attorney. And remember, in all essence this request is a one shot opportunity so be cautious and attempt to go through counsel if able.
