How Sexual Assault Bonds Work
Arrest & Booking
After an arrest on sexual assault charges in Dallas County, the defendant is transported to Lew Sterrett Justice Center for booking. Personal information, fingerprints, and photographs are recorded before the magistration process.
Magistration
A Dallas County magistrate reviews the sexual assault charge and sets a bond amount based on the severity of the offense, criminal history, and flight risk. Bond schedules for sexual assault cases vary depending on specific circumstances of the arrest.
Bond Posted
Once the bond amount is set, a licensed bail bond agent files the necessary paperwork with Dallas County. Act Quick Bail Bonds handles all documentation and coordination with the jail to expedite the release process.
Release
After the bond is posted and processed, the defendant is released from custody. Release timelines vary based on current facility conditions and volume.
Initial Check-In — Required
Within 24 to 72 hours of release, the defendant must report to our office for a mandatory initial check-in. We review all court dates, bond conditions, and reporting requirements. Failure to complete this check-in results in bond forfeiture and a new warrant for the defendant's arrest.
