What Are The Different Ways To Get Out Of Jail?
In Austin, a person can be released one of three ways. One way is by posting a cash bond and paying the full amount of the bond. Another way is by posting a personal bond. This is known as a personal recognizance (PR) bond. If you qualify for this, you can get released for free based on your promise to come back to all of your court dates. The last way to get released is with a surety bond. This is where you pay a percentage of your bail bond to a bondsman and he posts the remaining amount for your release.
