What Is an Attorney Writ Bond, and How Can It Help You Get Out of Jail Sooner?

 Posted on December 19, 2022 in Attorney Writ Bonds

You may have heard of stories where someone is arrested on suspicion of having committed a crime. That individual is forced to sit for several miserable days in jail before getting in front of a judge. This typically happens on weekends. In Texas, the law states that a suspect is usually required to go before a judge so that bail can be set. Once bail is set, the suspect can secure a bond and then be released. What if there was a better option that did not require suspects to be held in jail for days?

The good news is that there is a better option! In Texas, you are likely eligible for a writ bond if you have been arrested for certain non-violent offenses. A writ bond is a procedure an experienced licensed attorney can set up with the Sheriff's Department. This arrangement can get someone out of jail without first having to go before a judge. If you have been arrested, contact an attorney with experience in attaining writ bonds for clients suspected of having committed a crime so that you can get out of jail only a few hours after being arrested instead of sitting in jail for days.  

How Can I Get an Attorney Writ Bond, and What Charges Qualify?  

Attorney writ bonds are generally used for crimes such as driving while intoxicated (DWI), marijuana possession, and theft. Other non-violent misdemeanors may be eligible for an attorney writ bond as well. Once you have been arrested, you will be fingerprinted and processed at whatever local or county jail you are in. You will need to contact an attorney from prison to see if you can receive an attorney writ bond. If you are deemed eligible, the attorney will come to the jail and arrange your release. In addition, the attorney will get your signature on the bond paperwork. 

An attorney writ bond is an assurance that the suspect will return for their hearing, which will be set at a later date. It is important to note that obtaining an attorney writ bond for a loved one who has been arrested is possible. If you call for a family member, you will not need to meet with a lawyer or leave your home. All the necessary details will be explained to you over the phone.
