When You Need Weapons Charge Bail Bonds
Weapons charges in Texas come in a few flavors. Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon under Section 46.02 is the most common one statewide. After that, it’s felon in possession under 46.04, prohibited weapons under 46.05, and aggravated assault charges where a firearm got pulled.
A lot of these arrests happen in ways people don’t expect. A traffic stop turns into a DWI and there’s a handgun in the glove box. Somebody walks into a bar that pulls more than half its income from alcohol with a gun on their hip. An old felony from years ago surfaces during the booking process. A heated argument escalates and now there’s an aggravated charge attached.
If your loved one is sitting at 200 N. Comal Street with a bond already set, call us and we can post it. If the magistrate hasn’t gotten to them yet, call us anyway. We’ll watch the file and move as soon as the number hits.
How a San Antonio Weapons Charge Bail Bond Works
Booking happens first. Your loved one gets fingerprinted, photographed, and held at the Bexar County Adult Detention Center while the file works through intake. Somewhere in the next 24 to 48 hours a magistrate sets the bond.
That’s when you call us. We need a name, date of birth, and the charge if you have it. From there we look up the booking, confirm the bond amount the magistrate set, and walk you through the paperwork and the 10% premium.
Once paperwork is signed and the premium is in, the bond gets posted at the jail. Release time after that is on the jail’s clock, not ours. Your loved one comes out with a court date and a sheet of bond conditions to follow, which is why families dealing with Bail Bonds in San Antonio TX rely on having someone who can move quickly once bail is set.
Weapons Charge Bail Bond Cost in San Antonio TX
Across San Antonio, the standard bail bond fee is 10% of whatever the magistrate set the bond at. That fee is non-refundable. It’s how the bondsman gets paid for fronting the full bond on your loved one’s behalf.
The bond amount itself depends on the charge. A misdemeanor UCW under Section 46.02 in Texas usually runs $2,000 to $3,500, which puts the 10% premium somewhere around $200 to $350.
Step it up to a third-degree felony like felon in possession or carrying in a 51% location and you’re more often looking at $7,500 to $15,000 on the bond. Premium on that lands roughly $750 to $1,500. Second-degree felonies, family violence cases involving a firearm, or anything tied to actual violence can run $25,000, $50,000, even higher, with premiums starting around $2,500.
Those are typical industry ranges. We don’t quote anybody until we see the magistrate’s number on the file. When you call, we tell you the exact premium upfront, and qualified clients can ask about payment arrangements on the standard 10% fee.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can a felon get out of jail on a weapons charge bond?
Usually, yes. Prior felonies tend to push the bond amount up and bring stricter conditions, but the bond itself is normally available. Once the magistrate sets it, we can post it.
2. How long does it take to get released from Bexar County Jail on a weapons charge?
After the bond is posted at the Adult Detention Center, release times can vary quite a bit, often anywhere from a few hours to most of a day. If the firearm is being held as evidence or the file needs extra clearance from the arresting agency, that window can stretch out further.
