Paying bail for someone in Overton County

After being arrested and booked into Overton County Jail in Livingston, the arrestee's situation will proceed in one of three ways:

Cash bonds are paid in full at the jail's bonding window or with the clerk of court, accepted as cash, cashier's check or money order, and many jails let you pay by card at a lobby kiosk or with an online bond vendor for a fee; have the inmate's full name and booking number when you go, and the jail is at 931-823-5635.
Licensed bail bond agents in Overton County can facilitate the process.
