Harris County - The 701 Jail Inmate Bail & Bonds

How do Bail Bonds work at Harris County - The 701 Jail

The Harris County Sheriff recommends that you use a bail bond agent licensed to do business in Harris County.

• You can pay a cash bond yourself, or use your home in Harris County, or in some cases the state of Texas, but the benefit of using a bail bond agent is that they take responsibility for making sure the inmate shows up for court in Harris County, and if they don't, then they take the financial responsibility.
• The typical fee for a bond will be between 10-20% of the bail amount; usually 15%.  So if an offender has a bail of $10,000.00, their bond will be $1500.00.
• If you want to pay cash, the Harris County Sheriff's Office will accept cash or surety bonds at 700 N. San Jacinto Street, Houston, TX 77002.
• You can also pay by credit card using AllPaid, an online bail and bond service.
