A Harris County Bail Bond, "County Bond", is a bail bond for a Class A or B Misdemeanor or a Felony offense.
The Justice of the Peace Courts in Harris County handle all Class C Misdemeanor offenses that deal particularly with Harris County, but these bail bonds are commonly referred to as JP Bail Bonds and not County Bail Bonds by bail bondsman here in Houston.
Class A and B Misdemeanor offenses are prosecuted in the Harris County Criminal Courts and include but are not limited to charges such as DWI, Possession of marijuana, theft, assault and many other offenses that while being serious offenses are still not considered as serious as a felony offense.
Felony offenses are prosecuted in the State District Courts and include but are not limited to DWI 3RD OFFENSE, large quantities of marijuana, possession of control substance,robbery, assault and many other offenses that are considered to be more serious in nature.
If a person is arrested for a Class A or B Misdemeanor or a Felony offense the time frame to be released from jail is much longer no matter what jail facility the prisoner is being held in.
A formal complaint is filed with the Harris County District Attorney by the arresting police agency.
If the charges are accepted then a bond is set and the information is entered into the Harris County Records and if the person in jail has been given a bond (sometimes criminal defendants are no bonded which means they cannot be released from jail), but if they are given a bond then they are able to be released from jail.
The process of being formally charged and being able to post a bond usually takes between 8 and 12 hours it can certainly take longer.
The process of being released from any jail other than the Harris County Jail once a bail bond has been posted usually takes an hour or two once a bail bond has been post with the Harris County Sheriff.
The process of just standing in line at the Harris County Sheriff Bail Bond window can take 2 or 3 hours.
The process of getting out of the Harris County Jail once a bail bond has been posted can take anywhere from 2 hours to 12 hours and can certainly take longer.
The typical time frame to be released from the Harris County Jail once a bail bond has been posted is between 6 hours and 12 hours.
