Bonds

If you want to plead “not guilty” to the warrant charge you must post the required bond so that your case can be assigned a trial date. There are three types of bonds:

Cash bonds can be posted at any of our locations by the defendant(PDF, 37KB) or by a third party(PDF, 31KB). You may pay bail for a person in custody online. Online bail bond payments are for Fort Worth Class C offenses only.

Surety bonds are accepted from approved bail bond agencies or attorneys. View a sample surety bond(PDF, 33KB). View a sample intention to surrender form(PDF, 14KB).
