When You Need Misdemeanor Bail Bonds
In Texas, a misdemeanor is anything below felony level but still serious enough to land you in a jail cell. Common ones in Bexar County include first-offense DWI, simple assault, possession of two ounces or less of marijuana, theft under $2,500, criminal trespass, public intoxication, and family violence assault.
Where they end up depends on who arrested them. SAPD arrests usually go to the San Antonio Detention Center on South Frio first, then transfer to the Bexar County Magistrate at 222 South Comal for booking and bond setting. Class C charges often skip jail and just get a citation.
Without a bond, that person sits. Could be days, could be weeks before the case moves anywhere. A bond gets them home, back to work, and able to actually fight the charge, which is why families turn to Bail Bonds in San Antonio TX when time matters.
How Misdemeanor Bail Bonds Work in San Antonio
After booking, your person sees a magistrate within 24 hours. The magistrate sets the bail amount, usually pulling from the Bexar County bond schedule but adjusting for the specifics of the charge. That number is the number.
From your end, it’s a phone call. We need a few things to get started: full name, date of birth, the jail they’re in, and what they’re charged with. We quote the fee, walk you through the cosigner paperwork, and once you sign, we file the bond.
Then it’s a waiting game on jail processing. North Comal moves fast on a quiet shift and slow during the rush. We’re not going to lie to you about timing, you’ll get the real number based on what the deputies are telling us that day.
Misdemeanor Bail Bonds Cost in San Antonio TX
The fee for a bond in Texas is a percentage of the bond amount, non-refundable. San Antonio’s standard rate is 10% or higher. So a $2,000 misdemeanor bond runs around $200 on the low end, and a $5,000 Class A bond runs around $500 and up.
What sets the bond amount itself is up to the judge, not us. They weigh the charge, prior record, whether you’ve got roots in San Antonio, and how likely it is you’d skip out on court. A clean-record first DWI looks different from a third assault, and family violence cases get treated more seriously across the board.
You’ll get a real quote before you sign, and we don’t tack on fees later. Tight on money? Tell us up front and we’ll work with what you’ve got.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the difference between a Class A, B, and C misdemeanor in Texas?
Class A is the worst of the three, up to a year in county and up to $4,000 in fines, covering things like assault causing bodily injury and a second DWI. Class B sits in the middle (first-offense DWI, small-amount marijuana possession), and Class C is the lightest, usually fine-only stuff like public intoxication.
2. Can I get out of jail the same day for a misdemeanor in Bexar County?
Most of the time, yes, especially if the bond gets posted right after magistration. Bexar County Jail release usually runs anywhere from a few hours to most of a day, depending on how slammed they are.
