What is a Walk-Through Bond?

Walk-Through Bail Bond Documents

At Big Bubba’s Bail Bonds, we focus a lot on the process of getting people out of jail when they’ve been arrested. However, the standard bail bond isn’t the only legal way that a person can keep themselves out of jail overnight. 

Walk-through bonds are a different type of bond that eliminates the public humiliation of an arrest and gets eligible offenders home, faster.

What is a Walk-Through Bond?

A walk-through bond is an opportunity for offenders with an outstanding arrest warrant to own up to their mistakes and get the legal process started without the trauma of spending time in a jail cell.

If a person knows there is an arrest warrant out there with their name on it, they can take this information to a Fort Worth bondsman. We will double-check with local law enforcement regarding the validity of the warrant and what your bail cost is based on the “bail schedule” and any past incidents. 

From there, you can pay for your bail bond. One of our agents will accompany you to the police station where you turn yourself in and pay your bail at the same time. You’ll go through all of the booking process but none of the jail time. Walk-through bonds are quick, simple, and allow you to gain a little more time to prepare for your court hearings. 

Do You Have an Outstanding Arrest Warrant?

Many people who have arrest warrants don’t even realize the mistakes they’ve made to earn them.

From unpaid traffic tickets to not even knowing they’ve broken the law, arrest warrants are easier to get than one may think. Fortunately, mMost people who have an outstanding arrest warrant are eligible for a walk-through bond.

Who Isn’t Eligible for a Walk-Through Bond?

Keep in mind that not every person with a warrant is able to obtain a walk-through bond. Some of the warrants that are typically denied this opportunity are:

  • Warrants with Emergency Protective Order
  • Assault cases
  • Domestic violence cases
