What Can I Do to Get Out of Jail Sooner?

 Posted on August 28, 2023 in Criminal Defense

We know that it can be nerve-wracking to be in a jail cell unsure of what is going to happen after an arrest. What is worse, if you are arrested over the weekend you could end up behind bars for several days before you have a chance to see a judge. To get out of jail sooner, if you qualify, you can get an attorney writ bond. A Collin County lawyer will look into the charges you are facing and try to help you get home faster.

What is an Attorney Writ Bond?

Under Texas law, the person arrested is supposed to go before a judge to have a bond set before being released. Your attorney will see why you were arrested and how serious the charges are. Usually, people who have been arrested on criminal charges such as driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, or theft qualify for an attorney writ bond. That is just a legal way of saying that an attorney can arrange with the Collin County Sheriff's Department to get you out of jail so that you do not have to see a judge. The good news here is that this can take two to four hours instead of days.

When Should I Call an Attorney if I Want to Get Out of Jail?

How Long Does it Take to Get a Writ Bond?

If the person arrested is already in the Collin County Jail, it can take a couple of hours to process a writ bond. If you are locked up in a suburb such as Allen or Frisco, the process could take a little longer because the bond needs to be taken from the jail where the person is locked up to the Sheriff’s Department for processing.
