Bail Bonds near Highland Park in San Antonio TX
What Our San Antonio Clients Say About Us
Highland Park sits on San Antonio’s Southeast Side. Most of the homes go back to the 1920s and 30s, with Craftsman bungalows and Tudor cottages still standing on streets like E Highland Boulevard and S Hackberry. A lot of the older houses got chopped into duplexes and rentals decades ago, so the area is a real mix of long-time owners and tenants.
Late-night calls from Highland Park families are something we are used to. Sometimes it is a mom whose son has just been booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on a DWI. Sometimes it is a grandmother trying to get a grandson home before sunrise. When something happens at 2 AM, Highland Park families call McRae Bail Bonds.
