Bail Bonds near Beacon Hill in San Antonio TX
What Our San Antonio Clients Say About Us
Beacon Hill sits in north central San Antonio, a historic neighborhood of bungalows and Craftsman homes between Hildebrand and Fredericksburg. The area runs about three miles north of downtown and a similar distance from the Bexar County Jail on N. Comal Street.
Late night calls come in from Beacon Hill more often than people think, often from a parent or spouse trying to figure out what to do next. Weekend calls run heavy too, and we have walked plenty of co-signers through paperwork by phone before sunup. When Beacon Hill families need a bondsman who answers the phone and gets the process moving, they call McRae Bail Bonds.

Bexar County Jail Release Assistance

The jail controls that part of it, and we tell callers that up front. Nobody likes waiting at a jail. We tell you what we have seen with timing, so you are not in the dark.
