Bail Bonds Service in Bedford, TX

A Way Out Bail Bonds writes bonds for Bedford, Texas arrests around the clock, and the first thing Bedford families need to know is that the city’s jail services have moved. The Bedford Police Department is still headquartered at 2121 L. Don Dodson Dr., but according to the city, people arrested by Bedford officers are now booked and held at the Euless Police Department jail at 1102 W. Euless Blvd. in neighboring Euless, with longer holds going to the Tarrant County Corrections Center in Fort Worth. We post felony, misdemeanor, DWI, warrant and traffic bonds at both facilities under Tarrant County Bail Bond License #218, with bonds underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company, and we have served Tarrant County for more than 35 years. Our line is answered live 24 hours a day, our agents speak Spanish, and we offer payment plans, low down payment options and no credit check. Call 817-261-2828 at any hour.

About Bail Bonds in Bedford, TX

Bedford is a settled Mid-Cities suburb where most arrests begin on two highways, and the city’s shared jail arrangement means the place you look for someone is not the place they were arrested. The 2020 census counted 49,928 residents across about 10 square miles in northeast Tarrant County, between Hurst to the west and Euless to the east, and the three cities share the Hurst-Euless-Bedford school district and a good deal of public safety infrastructure. SH-183, known locally as Airport Freeway, runs east to west across the south side of the city toward DFW Airport, and SH-121 forms the northern edge. Harwood Road, Bedford Road, Central Drive and Forest Ridge Drive carry most of the local traffic, and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital HEB and the Bedford Boys Ranch park complex are the city’s largest landmarks.

Arrest patterns in Bedford are steady rather than dramatic. DWI stops on Airport Freeway and SH-121, especially late on weekends as traffic returns from Dallas, Fort Worth and the airport hotel corridor, are the most common serious charge. Traffic-stop warrant arrests along Harwood Road and Central Drive come next, followed by family disturbance calls, retail theft along the SH-183 frontage roads and public intoxication during the Bedford Blues and BBQ Festival at Boys Ranch each Labor Day weekend. Because the HEB cities are compact and tightly connected, an arrest in Bedford routinely involves a warrant from Hurst, Euless or Tarrant County, and families often need help sorting out which court each charge belongs to.

What is an indemnitor?

An indemnitor is the person who signs the bail bond agreement alongside the bail bond company and takes financial responsibility if the defendant fails to appear in court. Most people call this person the co-signer. The indemnitor does not need perfect credit, but they do need identification, a verifiable address and a willingness to stay in contact with the defendant until the case ends. Our How Bail Bonds Work page explains what the indemnitor signs and when the obligation ends.

Which Jail Will Someone Arrested in Bedford Be Taken To?

A person arrested by the Bedford Police Department is booked into the Euless Police Department jail, 1102 W. Euless Blvd., Euless, TX 76040, phone 817-685-1577 or 817-685-1576, which the City of Bedford now uses for its jail services. The City of Bedford jail information page states that these services are provided at the Euless facility, which is open 24 hours a day. People who are not released from Euless are transferred to the Tarrant County Corrections Center, 100 N. Lamar St., Fort Worth, TX 76196, where the Bond Desk operates 24 hours and inmate information is available at 817-884-3000.

Many websites, including some bail bond companies, still list the Bedford City Jail at 2121 L. Don Dodson Dr. as the place to find a Bedford arrestee. That address remains the Bedford Police Department headquarters, but the jail function has moved. Here is the current path:

• Arrest by Bedford police. Officers complete the arrest at the scene or at the police station on L. Don Dodson Drive. For a Class C offense or a Bedford municipal warrant, the person may be released from there after posting a cash bond or being given a court date.
• Booking at the Euless jail. For Class B misdemeanors and above, and for county or out-of-town warrants, the person is transported about two miles east to 1102 W. Euless Blvd. Booking includes fingerprints, photographs and a warrant check, and it commonly takes several hours. Bedford recommends calling the Euless jail directly to confirm someone is there.
• Magistration. A Tarrant County magistrate advises the person of the charge, reviews the Public Safety Report required by Texas law and sets the bond amount and conditions. Texas requires this within 48 hours of arrest; in practice it usually happens sooner at Mid-Cities jails.
• Bond posting. Once a bond exists, our agent posts the surety bond at the Euless jail. If the person has already been moved downtown, we post at the Tarrant County Bond Desk at 100 N. Lamar St.
• Release. The jail verifies the bond and releases the person from the Euless lobby. Release can take one to several hours after posting depending on activity at the facility.
• Transfer if no bond is posted. Anyone not bonded out within a day or two is transported to the Tarrant County Corrections Center, where the process starts again at a much larger facility with longer wait times.

If you are not sure where your family member is, call us before you drive anywhere. We check the Euless jail and the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office inmate search and tell you exactly where the person is and whether a bond has been set.

Class C Charges and the Bedford Municipal Court

Fine-only Class C cases, including traffic citations written by Bedford officers and city ordinance violations, are handled by the Bedford Municipal Court, 2000 Forest Ridge Dr., Building A, Bedford, TX 76021, phone 817-952-2150, during regular weekday business hours. The court’s warrant page explains that a bench warrant issued for failing to appear can be cleared by posting a cash bond at the court to obtain a new court date, by submitting a written guilty plea with payment, or by hiring an attorney, and that a capias warrant issued for an unfinished judgment is cleared by paying the amount owed. The court accepts cash, MasterCard, Visa, money orders and cashier’s checks but not personal checks. If you have an active Bedford warrant and want to handle it before it turns into an arrest during a traffic stop, call us and we will explain what the court allows and how a walk-through works.

Bail Bond Services We Offer in Bedford

We handle every charge level that comes through the Euless jail and the Tarrant County system for Bedford arrests, and each service below links to a fuller explanation.

Felony Bail Bonds in Bedford

Felony cases from Bedford arrests are prosecuted in the Tarrant County Criminal District Courts at the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap St., Fort Worth, TX 76196. Felony bonds are set individually and frequently require a co-signer and sometimes collateral. We write bonds for drug possession and delivery, aggravated assault, burglary, felony theft, weapons charges and felony DWI, and we explain collateral requirements before you commit. Our Types of Bail Bonds page describes how felony bonds differ.

Misdemeanor Bail Bonds in Bedford

Class A and B misdemeanors are the bulk of Bedford bookings: first-offense DWI, possession of marijuana, simple assault, family violence assault, theft and criminal trespass. These cases move through the Tarrant County Criminal Courts at Law, and a misdemeanor bond can usually be posted within hours of magistration at the Euless jail. See our criminal cases page for how each charge level proceeds.

DWI and DUI Bail Bonds in Bedford

Airport Freeway and SH-121 make DWI the charge Bedford families call about most, particularly late on Friday and Saturday nights. A first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor, and Tarrant County magistrates often add an ignition interlock condition to the bond. Our DWI and DUI bail bonds page explains the steps after a DWI arrest and how interlock conditions work.

Warrant Bail Bonds in Bedford

Many Bedford arrests begin as a traffic stop on Harwood Road or Central Drive that turns up an outstanding warrant from Tarrant County or a neighboring city. If you know a warrant exists, we can often arrange a walk-through so the person surrenders at the jail with the bond ready and leaves the same day. We also post bonds for out-of-county warrants that appear at booking.

Traffic and Class C Bonds in Bedford

For Bedford Municipal Court traffic warrants, we explain whether a cash bond at the court or a surety bond makes more sense and, where the court permits it, we post the bond. Our traffic ticket bail bonds page has more detail.

How the Bail Process Works in Bedford

The process for a Bedford arrest follows six steps from your call to the release lobby.

• Call 817-261-2828. Tell us the person’s full name and date of birth, when and where the arrest happened and the charge if you know it. A live agent answers every call, day or night.
• We locate the person. We confirm whether your family member is at the Euless jail or has been moved to Fort Worth, and we find out whether magistration has taken place and what the bond amount is.
• Indemnitor paperwork. The co-signer signs the bond agreement and provides identification, by phone, fax or email or in person with a mobile agent who can meet you in Bedford or at the jail.
• We post the bond. Our agent files the surety bond at the Euless jail or at the Tarrant County Bond Desk at 100 N. Lamar St., whichever facility is holding the person.
• Release. The jail verifies the bond and processes the release. At the Euless facility, release after posting typically takes one to a few hours; at the county jail it can take considerably longer because of volume. We give you a realistic estimate rather than a promise.
• Court follow-up. We give the defendant and the indemnitor every court date and send reminders ahead of each one, because appearing in court is what keeps the bond in good standing.

Two recent changes in Texas law shape bond decisions in Bedford cases. Senate Bill 6, the Damon Allen Act, took effect in December 2021 and requires magistrates to review a Public Safety Report before setting bail while barring personal bonds for certain violent offenses. Proposition 3, approved by Texas voters on November 4, 2025, allows a judge to deny bail in defined violent and sexual felony cases when the state proves by clear and convincing evidence that bail is not appropriate. These provisions touch a small share of Bedford arrests; for the misdemeanors and non-violent felonies that make up most bookings, a bond is set and a surety bond is available. The Texas Justice Court Training Center publishes a current summary of the rules.

Affordable Bail Bonds in Bedford: Payment Options

With a surety bond, your family pays the bondsman’s fee instead of the entire bail amount, and we structure that fee to fit your circumstances.

• Payment plans. Installment arrangements are available on many bonds so release does not depend on a single payment.
• Low down payment options. Qualified indemnitors can often begin with a smaller initial payment.
• No credit check. Approval rests on the charge, the defendant’s history and the co-signer, not a credit score.
• Co-signer flexibility. A parent, spouse, adult child, employer or friend can serve as indemnitor, and more than one person can share the obligation.
• Collateral only when required. Most misdemeanor bonds require none. When a larger felony bond calls for collateral, we explain what qualifies and how it is returned.
• Payment methods. Major credit cards, American Express, Western Union, personal checks, cash in some situations and payment arranged at the jail.
• Written agreement. You review the fee and every term in writing before signing.

Our payment options page covers each of these. Bail bond fees in Texas are not refundable, so ask us any question before you commit.

Local Knowledge: Bedford Courts, Districts and Rules

Bedford’s geography is simple, and so are its arrest corridors. Airport Freeway (SH-183) along the south side, with its hotel and restaurant frontage roads near Central Drive and Bedford Road, produces the most DWI and public intoxication arrests. SH-121 on the north side and the Harwood Road and Forest Ridge Drive corridors through the center generate traffic-stop warrant arrests. The Bedford Boys Ranch park on Forest Ridge Drive hosts the Bedford Blues and BBQ Festival each Labor Day weekend, which brings a short, predictable rise in alcohol-related arrests. The older neighborhoods north of Harwood Road and the apartment communities along Airport Freeway account for most disturbance and family violence calls. Because Bedford, Hurst and Euless are so interwoven, a Bedford arrestee often has a citation or warrant from a neighboring city, and we sort out which court handles each one.

Court matters for Bedford arrests split by charge level:

• Class C (fine-only): Bedford Municipal Court, 2000 Forest Ridge Dr., Building A, Bedford, TX 76021, 817-952-2150.
• Class A and B misdemeanors: Tarrant County Criminal Courts at Law, Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap St., Fort Worth, TX 76196.
• Felonies: Tarrant County Criminal District Courts, also at the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center.

One rule that surprises Bedford families: the person was arrested by Bedford police, but while at 1102 W. Euless Blvd. they are in the physical custody of the Euless jail, and the criminal case belongs to Tarrant County. Questions about visiting or property go to the Euless jail at 817-685-1577; questions about the charge or the bond amount are Tarrant County matters; and a Bedford municipal citation attached to the same arrest is handled by the Bedford court on Forest Ridge Drive. We make those calls so you do not have to.

Response Time to Bedford

Our office at 633 W. Division St., Suite A, Arlington, TX 76011 is approximately 11 miles from the Euless jail at 1102 W. Euless Blvd., about a 20-minute drive north on SH-360 and SH-183 in normal traffic, and about 12 miles from the Bedford Police Department and Bedford Municipal Court. The Tarrant County Corrections Center at 100 N. Lamar St. in Fort Worth is roughly 20 miles from our office, about 25 minutes via I-30. Drive times are approximate and vary with traffic. Because most paperwork is completed by phone, fax or email, the bond is usually ready before the jail finishes its own processing, and a mobile agent can meet you in Bedford or at either jail if you prefer to sign in person.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bedford Bail Bonds

Does Bedford have its own jail?

Not anymore. The Bedford Police Department remains at 2121 L. Don Dodson Dr., but the City of Bedford states that its jail services are now provided at the Euless Police Department jail, 1102 W. Euless Blvd., Euless, TX 76040, phone 817-685-1577. A person arrested by Bedford police is booked and held there, and anyone not released is later moved to the Tarrant County Corrections Center in Fort Worth. Older listings that describe a Bedford City Jail are out of date.

Can you help clear a Bedford Municipal Court warrant?

Yes. Bedford Municipal Court warrants are Class C matters handled at 2000 Forest Ridge Dr., Building A, and the court allows a bench warrant to be cleared by posting a cash bond for a new court date, entering a written plea with payment, or appearing through an attorney. We explain which option fits your situation and, where a surety bond is permitted, post it. If a Bedford warrant has already led to an arrest and a county charge, we handle both together.

How long does release from the Euless jail take after a bond is posted?

Release from the Euless facility usually follows within one to a few hours after the bond is posted and verified, though the total time from arrest depends on when magistration occurs. Booking and magistration can take several hours, and weekend nights run slower. If the person has already been transferred to the Tarrant County Corrections Center, release after posting can take considerably longer because of that facility’s size. We give a realistic estimate based on the facility’s activity when you call.

Do I have to come to your office in Arlington?

No. Most Bedford families complete the entire process by phone, fax or email. The indemnitor signs the agreement electronically or by fax, pays by card or Western Union, and we post the bond at the Euless jail or in Fort Worth. If you prefer to meet in person, a mobile agent can come to you in Bedford or meet you at the jail.

Is the bail bond fee refundable?

No. The fee paid to a bail bond company is the charge for posting the bond and is not returned when the case ends, whatever the outcome. Cash bail paid directly to Tarrant County is refunded at the end of the case less any court costs, but only if the family posts the entire bail amount up front, which is why most families choose a surety bond.

What if the defendant misses a court date?

The court can forfeit the bond and issue a warrant. Contact us right away if that happens. In many cases we can help the defendant appear voluntarily at the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center and ask the court to reinstate the bond. Our reminders before each court date are designed to keep this from happening.

Do you have Spanish-speaking agents for Bedford?

Yes. Se habla espanol. Our bilingual agents explain the bond agreement, the indemnitor’s responsibilities and every court date in Spanish, and paperwork can be reviewed in Spanish before anyone signs.

What should I have ready when I call?

Have the person’s full legal name and date of birth, where and roughly when they were arrested, and the charge if you know it. The indemnitor should have a government-issued ID, a current address and a way to make the initial payment. If you are missing any of these, call anyway; we can look up most of what we need.
