When You Need Assault Bail Bonds
Texas calls a lot of things assault. The label on the paperwork can mean anything from a shoving match in a parking lot to a felony with a deadly weapon, and the bond amount tracks accordingly.
If a magistrate at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center has set bond and your family doesn’t have that cash sitting around, that’s where we come in. Assault charges cover a lot of ground: bar fights, domestic disputes that turned physical, choking allegations, and aggravated assault cases involving a firearm or knife.
Family violence is its own beast. The magistrate almost always issues a Magistrate’s Order for Emergency Protection alongside the bond, which can keep your loved one out of their own house until the case moves. We’ll explain how that works before you sign so nobody trips a bond condition by accident.
How Our Assault Bail Bond Process Works
Call us with the defendant’s full name and date of birth. That’s enough for us to find them in Bexar County and pull up the charges. The magistrate hearing usually happens within 48 hours of arrest, and we keep an eye on it for you.
Once a bond amount is on the books, we sit down with you on the paperwork. Whoever’s signing as co-signer needs to know what they’re agreeing to, because if your loved one skips court, that signature matters.
From there it’s a phone call to post the bond. Release timing depends on the jail’s intake load and can vary, sometimes a few hours, sometimes longer. We’ll let you know when to head over.
Assault Bail Bonds Cost in San Antonio TX
The magistrate sets the bail, not the bondsman. In Texas, Class A misdemeanor assault commonly lands in the low thousands. Assault family violence on a first offense often runs into the low five figures, and strangulation or a prior FV conviction pushes it higher. Aggravated assault typically sits in the tens of thousands, and a first-degree felony can run six figures.
Texas law puts the bond fee at 10% or higher of total bail. A $10,000 bond costs at least $1,000. A $25,000 bond, at least $2,500. That money is non-refundable, even if the case gets dismissed the next day, because what you’re paying for is the bond posting and the risk we carry until the case wraps up.
Ranges above are typical Texas ranges, not a quote on your case. Your magistrate could come in higher or lower depending on the charge and criminal history. Call us with the name and we’ll talk real numbers, and discuss payment options if those numbers are tough, especially if you’re working through Bail Bonds in San Antonio TX for the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Do I get the 10% bail bond fee back when the case is over?
No. The fee is non-refundable in Texas because it pays for the bond posting and the risk the bondsman carries until your case is closed.
2. Can a bond be revoked if my loved one violates a bond condition?
Yes. Missing court, breaking a no-contact order, or picking up a fresh charge can all land them back in Bexar County Jail with the bond forfeited.
