About Bail Bonds in Blue Mound, TX
Blue Mound is one of the smallest cities in Tarrant County, which means bail bonds here are really Tarrant County bail bonds with a short local first step. The 2020 census counted 2,393 residents on about 0.51 square miles along FM 156, also called Blue Mound Road, roughly eight miles north of downtown Fort Worth. Saginaw wraps around the city to the west and north, Fort Worth borders the rest, and the Alliance corridor with I-35W and US-287 sits just beyond. Blue Mound incorporated in 1957 around the old Globe Aircraft and Bell Helicopter sites and is now a bedroom community for Fort Worth and Alliance workers.
A police department of about a dozen sworn and reserve officers does not generate many arrests, and most come from traffic stops on Blue Mound Road and the nearby highways: warrants discovered at a stop, DWI, invalid license and possession charges, plus disturbance calls in the neighborhoods off Ellis Road and Fossil Creek Boulevard.
What is magistration?
Magistration is the hearing, required by Texas law within 48 hours of arrest, where a magistrate reads the charge, advises the person of their rights, reviews the Public Safety Report and sets bail and any conditions. No bond can be posted until it is finished. Our How Bail Bonds Work page walks through the full sequence.

Which Jail Will Someone Arrested in Blue Mound Be Taken To?
A person arrested by Blue Mound police is booked into the Tarrant County Corrections Center, 100 N. Lamar St., Fort Worth, TX 76196, after a brief stop at the police department. The county inmate information line is 817-884-3000 and the Bond Desk is open 24 hours. Blue Mound has no long-term jail.
The path, based on the Blue Mound Police Department page and Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office information:
- Arrest and paperwork in Blue Mound. The Blue Mound Police Department, 301 S. Blue Mound Rd., Blue Mound, TX 76131, phone 817-232-0663, completes the arrest report. Its holding space is short-term only.
- Transport to Fort Worth. The arrestee is driven about ten miles south to 100 N. Lamar St., usually within a few hours.
- Booking at central intake. Tarrant County photographs, fingerprints and enrolls every arrival, and the person then appears in the Tarrant County inmate search.
- Magistration. A magistrate reviews the charge and the Public Safety Report and sets bail. This can happen at any hour; the wait depends on how many people arrived first.
- Bond posting. Our agent presents the surety bond at the Bond Desk, which never closes.
- Release. The Corrections Center verifies the bond, completes out-processing and releases the defendant through the Lamar Street lobby.

Bail Bond Services We Offer in Blue Mound
We write every bond type a Blue Mound arrest can produce.
Felony Bail Bonds in Blue Mound
Felony charges from Blue Mound are prosecuted in the Tarrant County Criminal District Courts at the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap St., Fort Worth, TX 76196, with bail set case by case at magistration. We write felony bonds for drug, assault, burglary, weapons and evading charges and tell you up front whether collateral will be needed. See our Types of Bail Bonds page.
Misdemeanor Bail Bonds in Blue Mound
Class A and Class B misdemeanors make up most Blue Mound arrests: driving while license invalid, possession of marijuana, theft, criminal mischief and assault. These bonds often need no collateral and can be posted as soon as bail is set. Misdemeanor cases are heard in the Tarrant County Criminal Courts in the same Belknap Street building.
DWI and DUI Bail Bonds in Blue Mound
DWI stops on Blue Mound Road, US-287 and the I-35W frontage roads are among the most common reasons a Blue Mound family calls us. A first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor, and magistrates often attach conditions such as an ignition interlock. Our DWI and DUI bail bonds page explains those conditions.
Warrant Bail Bonds in Blue Mound
Because Blue Mound is a pass-through city for Saginaw and Alliance traffic, warrant arrests during routine stops are common. We post bonds on Tarrant County warrants and on out-of-county warrants that surface at booking, and when someone knows a warrant exists we can arrange a walk-through surrender at 100 N. Lamar with the bond ready in advance.
Traffic and Class C Bonds in Blue Mound
For Blue Mound Municipal Court warrants, we tell you what the court will accept and post a surety bond where permitted. See our traffic ticket bail bonds page for the details.
How the Bail Process Works in Blue Mound
Release after a Blue Mound arrest follows six steps.
- Call 817-261-2828. Give us the person’s full name, date of birth, where the arrest happened and the charge if you know it. A live agent answers day or night.
- We locate the defendant and confirm bail. We check the county inmate search, or the Blue Mound Police Department if the person has not been transported yet.
- Paperwork with the co-signer. The co-signer, also called the indemnitor, provides identification, signs the bond agreement and arranges payment by phone, fax or email, or with a mobile agent.
- We post the bond. Our agent files the surety bond at the Bond Desk at 100 N. Lamar St.
- Release processing. Out-processing at Tarrant County typically takes several hours after the bond is accepted and runs longer on weekend nights and holidays. We give you an honest estimate that day.
- Court reminders until the case closes. We give every court date to the defendant and co-signer and follow up before each one.
Texas law shapes step four. Senate Bill 6, the Damon Allen Act, in effect since December 2021, requires a Public Safety Report before bail is set and bars personal bonds for listed violent offenses. Proposition 3, approved by Texas voters on November 4, 2025, lets a judge deny bail in defined violent and sexual felony cases on clear and convincing evidence. Neither change affects the ordinary Blue Mound arrest, a misdemeanor or non-violent felony with bail set in the usual way. The Texas Justice Court Training Center summarizes these rules.
Affordable Bail Bonds in Blue Mound: Payment Options
The cost of a bond should not keep a family member in Fort Worth longer than necessary.
- Payment plans. Installments are available on many bonds, so release does not wait on a lump sum.
- Low down payment options. A qualified co-signer can often start the process with a smaller initial payment.
- No credit check. We look at the charge, the defendant’s court history and the co-signer, not a credit score.
- Co-signer flexibility. Family members and close friends can serve as indemnitors, and more than one can share the responsibility.
- Collateral only when needed. Most misdemeanor bonds require none.
- Many ways to pay. Major credit cards, American Express, Western Union, personal checks and cash in some situations, with payment at the jail available.
Our bail payment options page covers each of these in more depth.

Local Knowledge: Blue Mound Courts, Districts and Rules
Blue Mound is a compact grid of residential streets between Blue Mound Road on the east and the Saginaw city limit on the west, with Ellis Road, Fossil Creek Boulevard and Westview Drive as the main cross streets. Most police contact happens along FM 156, the primary DWI and warrant-stop corridor. The city belongs to Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD, and Gilliland Elementary sits inside the city limits, so school-zone enforcement is a steady source of Class C citations.
Court matters split by charge level:
- Class C (fine-only): Blue Mound Municipal Court, 301 S. Blue Mound Rd., Blue Mound, TX 76131, 817-232-0663, open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
- Class A and B misdemeanors: Tarrant County Criminal Courts, 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 thing that catches families off guard: Blue Mound, Saginaw and Fort Worth patrol areas overlap so tightly that a stop on Blue Mound Road can end with a Saginaw or Fort Worth officer making the arrest. The destination is the same county facility, but the paperwork we match at the Bond Desk depends on the arresting agency, so we confirm it first.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blue Mound Bail Bonds
Does Blue Mound have a jail?
No, not one where someone stays overnight. The Blue Mound Police Department at 301 S. Blue Mound Rd. has short-term holding space, but anyone arrested on a jailable charge is transported to the Tarrant County Corrections Center at 100 N. Lamar St. in Fort Worth, where booking, magistration, bond posting and release all happen.
How do bail bonds work for a Tarrant County arrest?
After booking at 100 N. Lamar, a magistrate sets bail. A co-signer completes the bond agreement and payment, and our agent files the surety bond at the county’s 24-hour Bond Desk. Tarrant County verifies the bond and releases the defendant, who agrees to appear at every court date. The family pays our fee instead of the full bail amount.
How quickly can a bondsman reach the Tarrant County Jail from Blue Mound?
The Corrections Center sits in downtown Fort Worth about ten miles south of Blue Mound and roughly a half-hour from our Arlington office, so the drive is rarely the slow part. Booking and magistration inside the facility determine when a bond can be posted, and we use that time to finish your paperwork by phone.
Who can be a co-signer for a Blue Mound bond?
A co-signer is typically an adult with valid identification, a stable address and a verifiable income, often a family member or close friend. The co-signer, or indemnitor, promises the defendant will appear in court and accepts financial responsibility if that does not happen.
Will I get the bail bond fee back when the case is over?
No. The fee paid to a bail bond company is earned when the bond is posted and is not refunded, whatever the outcome. A family that pays full cash bail to Tarrant County instead may get that money back at the end of the case, less court costs, but only by paying the entire amount up front.
What happens if someone misses court after bonding out in Tarrant County?
The judge can order the bond forfeited and issue a warrant for the defendant’s arrest. If your family member misses a date, call us right away. We can often arrange a voluntary appearance and ask the court to set aside the forfeiture.
How do I find out the bond amount for someone arrested in Blue Mound?
Call us at 817-261-2828 and we will look it up. The Tarrant County inmate search lists charges and bail amounts once magistration is complete, and the county inmate information line is 817-884-3000. If the person has not been magistrated, no amount exists yet.
