How do Bail Bonds work at Marvin A. Smith Facility

Posting Bond for a Marvin A. Smith Facility Inmate

Bond for a Kilgore inmate is set exactly as for any other Gregg County defendant. Every Gregg County arrestee goes before a county magistrate, and Gregg County's JP courts list magistrate hearings with bail settings as one of their jobs; state law (CCP 15.17) caps the wait for that hearing at 48 hours. The Sheriff's jailing search then shows each charge's bail and the SO number tied to the record.

Release options from the Kilgore building follow Chapter 17 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Families can put up the full amount in cash and recover it when the case ends; pay a premium to a surety the county has licensed (Gregg County's license forms cover both property and cash sureties); or, if the magistrate permits, the defendant signs a personal bond. Whatever route you use, the magistrate's conditions, like staying away from a complaining witness, travel with the release. Before driving to Kilgore, confirm the amount and where to post it with the facility at 903-988-0609.
