Bail Bonds Service in San Antonio TX
What Our San Antonio Clients Say About Us
San Antonio stretches across more than 400 square miles. Picture the Southside, Westside, Stone Oak, Alamo Heights. Arrests happen in every one of these areas, and the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on N Comal Street books people around the clock. Calls come in from across the city day and night, often after weekend arrests, late-night DWI stops, and domestic incidents. Co-signers walk into our office on S Presa Street, and others meet us nearer the jail on N Comal. Honestly, nights and weekends are when this system slows down most. Misdemeanor and felony charges out of Bexar County courts move through the system every day. When San Antonio families need a bondsman, they call McRae Bail Bonds.

Bexar County Jail: What You Should Know

Magistration usually happens within 24 to 48 hours. The drive from S Presa Street up I-37 to that jail is a familiar one. Booking backlogs on Saturday nights are a regular thing, and as your bail bonds in San Antonio TX, we know the rhythm of the building. Familiarity with the building helps the process move.
Our After-Hours Response Process
A 2 AM call from the Bexar County Jail. A weekend arrest in the Pearl District. A holiday DWI on Loop 410. Calls like these come in around the clock, and the bond process can start the same hour.
Information goes by phone, paperwork by email or text, and card payments process without anyone driving across town in the middle of the night. Bonds can be posted at the N Comal jail at any hour, including early morning. Family members can also meet us at our S Presa Street office when that works better. Reaching a real person is the point of after-hours service at McRae Bail Bonds.
Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Bonds
Charges in Bexar County range across the full spectrum, from Class C misdemeanors with low bond amounts to State jail felonies and higher. Class A and B misdemeanors like DWI, possession, and assault are common. Third-degree felonies and up can carry bond amounts running into five and six figures.
Misdemeanor bonds often get posted the same morning as the arrest, while felony bond paperwork can require additional co-signer documentation. Probation violation holds and family violence cases also move through the Bexar County Courthouse on Dolorosa Street. Bond amounts in San Antonio typically follow a 10 percent fee structure, which is standard across Texas. Bigger bonds need more paperwork. We move through it methodically.
Texas Co-Signer Requirements
In Texas, a co-signer takes on real responsibility. The co-signer guarantees the defendant will appear at every court date, and if the defendant does not show up, the co-signer is on the hook for the full bond amount. Most co-signers in San Antonio are parents, spouses, siblings, or close friends with steady income.
Co-signers can come from any part of the city, whether the Westside or Windcrest on the Northeast side. First-time co-signers get walked through the paperwork line by line, no rushing.

We also serve nearby Alamo Heights, Schertz, Universal City, and the Helotes area.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How long does it take to get released from the Bexar County Jail after a bond is posted?
Release times in Bexar County commonly run several hours and sometimes longer, depending on jail staffing, processing volume, and how busy the night is. The bond posting itself is fast, but the jail release process is the slow part.
2. What information do I need before calling a bail bondsman in San Antonio?
You will want the full legal name of the person in custody, their date of birth, and the facility they are being held at if you know it. The charges and bond amount are helpful but not required, because we can look those up once we have the name and date of birth.
