You can either pay the entire amount of bail yourself to the jail, or you have to hire someone who specializes in Collin County bail bonds. This can either be a bonding company (an agency that specializes in writing surety bonds), or a lawyer that is licensed to write surety bonds in that specific county within Texas.

If you would like to pay the full amount yourself (also known as a "cash bond"), then you must go to the jail and pay this amount at the bond desk. Here is the contact information:

If you don't want to pay the full amount of the bail set by the judge or magistrate in the form of a cash bond, then you have the option to hire a Collin bondsman. The way that this process works is actually pretty simple. Basically, the bonding agent writes an insurance policy on the inmate and gives it to the judge or magistrate. This can also be done at the jail itself. In order for the policy to be enacted, there needs to be a qualified co-signer with a good work history, proof of residence, a valid ID, and proof of income. In some cases where the bail is extremely high, collateral may be required to secure the bond. The bonding company will only charge you a premium to get your friend or loved one out of jail. The amount of the premium can run anywhere between 10%-20% of the bail that was originally set by the judge or magistrate. The exact percentage is dependent on the bonding company's insurance policy, the qualifications of the co-signer, and the flight-risk potential of the inmate.
