Sheriff – Jail Division – Frequently Asked Questions

How do I contact a bail bondsman?

Most bail bond company’s are available 24 hours a day. Hays County is a Bail Bond Board County which means bonding companies must be licensed in order to post bonds. An approved list of bonding companies is available at the Sheriff’s Office and is rotated weekly. Sheriff’s Office employees may not contact a Bail Bondsman for you, nor can they recommend one; you must make the arrangements yourself.
