BAIL BOND SERVICE ACROSS DALLAS COUNTY

From Dallas to Irving, Grand Prairie to Garland — Act Quick Bail Bonds serves every city in Dallas County.

HOW BAIL BONDS WORK IN DALLAS COUNTY

01

Call Act Quick Bail Bonds

Call our 24/7 line at (214) 744-1414. Provide the arrested person's full legal name and the facility where they're being held. We handle the rest.

02

We Post the Bond

A licensed Act Quick agent arrives at the facility, files the bond paperwork with the court, and posts the surety bond. At Lew Sterrett, this is done at the bond posting window.

03

Release from Custody

After the bond is posted and processed, the facility releases the defendant. Release timelines vary based on facility volume and time of day.

04

Initial Check-In — Required

Within 24 to 72 hours of release, the defendant must report to our office for an initial check-in. We review all court dates, bond conditions, and reporting requirements, and complete the required paperwork. This step is mandatory — failure to complete the initial check-in results in bond forfeiture, and a new warrant is issued for the defendant’s arrest.

YOUR RIGHTS AFTER AN ARREST

Know your rights under Texas law. These rights apply to everyone regardless of immigration status.

01

Right to Remain Silent

You are not required to answer questions from police beyond providing identification. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court.

02

Right to an Attorney

You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, the court will appoint a public defender after magistration.

03

Right to Bail

In most cases, the Texas Constitution guarantees the right to bail. Only capital offenses and certain probation violations may be denied bail.

04

Right to a Phone Call

After booking, you have the right to make a phone call. Use it to contact a family member or call Act Quick Bail Bonds directly at (214) 744-1414.

05

Right to Know the Charges

The magistrate must inform you of the charges against you during magistration. You have the right to understand why you were arrested and what your bail amount is.

06

Right to an Interpreter

If you do not speak English fluently, you have the right to an interpreter during magistration and all court proceedings in Dallas County.
