How to look someone upEvery bond in McLennan County is posted at the Detention Center on East Highway 6. Call the facility to confirm the charge and bail amount, or give us the name and we will look it up for you.
What to do right now.
Most of what families do in the first hour does not help. These four things do.
01
Get the full legal name and date of birth
Booking staff work from identifiers, not descriptions. Spell the name out. Without a date of birth a lookup can stall for an hour on a common surname.
02
Call us before calling around
We make these calls to the detention center every night and we know who to ask. It costs nothing to find out whether they have been booked and what bail is set.
03
Find one photo ID and proof of income
A driver’s licence and a recent pay stub or bank statement is usually all a cosigner needs. Gathering it now saves a second trip later.
04
Do not send money to anyone else
No legitimate bondsman asks for a wire transfer, a gift card or a payment app. If someone has asked you for one, stop and call us.
Filed in 30–45 minutes.
That is the part we control, and we hold to it. What happens after — property, processing, the walk to the front door — belongs to the jail, and we will tell you honestly what it looks like tonight.

Speak with a bondsman nowEvery bond McLennan County writes.
01
Felony bonds
State and federal felony charges, any amount the court sets. Discreet handling and a bondsman who knows the McLennan County docket.
02
Misdemeanor bonds
DWI, assault, theft, possession. The fastest turnaround we write — often signed and filed inside the hour.
03
Cash bonds
When the court requires the full amount in cash, we post it on your behalf and handle the filing with the clerk.
04
Warrant assistance
We check for outstanding warrants and arrange a walk-through so the bond is waiting before you turn yourself in.
05
Traffic ticket bonds
Unpaid citations and failure-to-appear holds cleared without a night in county.
06
Notary public
Notary on site at 700 E Waco Dr, so signatures and affidavits are handled in the same visit.
Three steps, one phone call.
The full processStep 01
Call us
Tell us the name, the jail, and what you know about the charge. We confirm the bail amount with the facility.
Step 02
Sign the paperwork
In the office at 700 E Waco Dr or online from your phone. A notary is on site. Payment plans are set here.
Step 03
We post the bond
Filed within 30–45 minutes of agreement. Release timing after that is up to the jail’s processing queue.
We file the paperwork within 30–45 minutes of the agreement being signed. From there, release depends on the jail’s own processing queue — McLennan County typically runs one to four hours after a bond is posted.
The premium is a percentage of the court-set bail amount, standard at 10% in Texas. On a $10,000 bail that is $1,000. The premium is the fee for posting the bond and is not refunded.
Yes. We set payment plans with a down payment to start, and we work with Bail Rep for financing. Bring ID and proof of income or employment when you sign.
A valid photo ID, a working phone number, and proof of residence or employment. As cosigner you are responsible for making sure the defendant appears at every court date.
Call before anything else. We can often arrange a walk-through where the bond is prearranged, so the time spent in custody is measured in minutes rather than days.
McLennan County Detention Center on East Highway 6 in Waco is the only facility in the county that accepts bonds. Wherever in McLennan County the arrest happened, that is where the bond is posted and where release takes place.
