About Bail Bonds in Colleyville, TX

Colleyville is one of the most affluent suburbs in Northeast Tarrant County, and its arrests look different from those in larger cities. The 2020 census counted 26,057 residents across about 13.1 square miles, and Colleyville is regularly named among the safest cities in Texas. State Highway 26, known locally as Colleyville Boulevard, runs diagonally through the city from Hurst to Grapevine, and State Highway 121 forms the eastern edge on the way to DFW International Airport. The city is almost entirely residential, with large-lot neighborhoods, the Colleyville Nature Center and the Cotton Belt Trail, and a restaurant row along Colleyville Boulevard near Glade Road and the Village at Colleyville.

Those characteristics shape the calls we take. DWI arrests on Colleyville Boulevard and SH-121, often after dinner in Colleyville, Grapevine or Southlake, are the most common. Family violence calls in residential neighborhoods produce Class A misdemeanor and felony assault bookings, and because Texas requires an arrest in many of those cases, families are frequently caught off guard. Warrant arrests from traffic stops on SH-26 and Glade Road, and occasional theft or drug possession cases, make up the rest.

For a Colleyville family, two things matter most: where the person is right now, and who will know. Our agents answer the first within minutes and treat the second as a professional obligation.

What is a surety bond?

A surety bond is a bail bond posted by a licensed bail bond company and backed by an insurance carrier, in our case United States Fire Insurance Company. Instead of depositing the full bail amount with Tarrant County, the family pays the bondsman’s fee and the company guarantees the defendant’s appearance in court. It is the most common form of release in Tarrant County and the one we post for nearly every Colleyville client. Our How Bail Bonds Work page explains it further.

Which Jail Will Someone Arrested in Colleyville Be Taken To?

Someone arrested by Colleyville police is held at the Keller Regional Detention Center, 330 Rufe Snow Dr., Keller, TX 76248, phone 817-743-4770, after initial processing at the Colleyville Police Department, 5201 Riverwalk Dr., Colleyville, TX 76034. Colleyville does not operate a long-term jail of its own; it shares the Keller facility with Keller, Southlake and Westlake. Tarrant County’s 24-hour Bond Desk is at the Tarrant County Corrections Center, 100 N. Lamar St., Fort Worth, TX 76196, inmate information 817-884-3000. The City of Keller Regional Detention Center FAQ publishes an online inmate search, and the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office lists inmates who have been moved to Fort Worth.

Colleyville lies entirely within Tarrant County, so there is no county split to sort out. The path from arrest to release runs as follows:

• Arrest and processing in Colleyville. The arresting officer completes reports at the police department on Riverwalk Drive. Any hold in Colleyville is brief.
• Transport to Keller. The person is driven about seven miles to 330 Rufe Snow Dr. and booked: fingerprints, photographs, property inventory and a statewide warrant check.
• Arraignment at Keller. Keller’s magistrate generally holds arraignments between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., with alternate times when the magistrate’s schedule requires. The magistrate reviews the Public Safety Report, sets the bond amount and adds any conditions.
• Bond posting. Keller accepts bonds from bail bond companies licensed in Tarrant County. Our agent files the surety bond, and the detention center verifies it. For a person already transferred to Fort Worth, we post at the Tarrant County Bond Desk at 100 N. Lamar St., which is open 24 hours.
• Release from Keller or transfer. Once the bond is confirmed, release happens at the Keller jail lobby. Keller describes itself as a short-term facility where most people stay less than 72 hours before release or transfer to the Tarrant County Corrections Center. Bonding out while the person is still in Keller is simpler and quicker for the family.

Call us before you begin calling facilities. We check the Keller inmate search and Tarrant County records and tell you exactly where your family member is.

Class C Charges and the Colleyville Municipal Court

Fine-only Class C offenses, including traffic citations and city ordinance violations, are heard by the Colleyville Municipal Court at City Hall, 5201 Riverwalk Dr., Colleyville, TX 76034, phone 817-503-1300 (press 177 for a clerk), fax 817-503-1309. The court publishes dockets and an online case search through the City of Colleyville Municipal Court page. Keller’s jail can accept a bond on an alias warrant from a bail bond company, but a capias pro fine warrant can only be cleared by paying the fine or serving jail credit, so it pays to know which type of warrant is outstanding. We check before you drive anywhere.

Bail Bond Services We Offer in Colleyville

We write every kind of bond a Colleyville arrest can produce, from a municipal traffic warrant to a serious felony.

Felony Bail Bonds in Colleyville

Felony cases from Colleyville are heard by the Tarrant County Criminal District Courts at the Tim Curry Criminal Justice Center, 401 W. Belknap St., Fort Worth, TX 76196. Felony bookings in Colleyville are less frequent than misdemeanors but do include aggravated assault with a family violence finding, felony DWI, drug possession and theft above the felony threshold. Felony bonds are set individually and may call for collateral or more than one co-signer. Our Types of Bail Bonds page describes the options.

Misdemeanor Bail Bonds in Colleyville

Class A and B misdemeanors are the bulk of Colleyville arrests: first DWI, assault causing bodily injury, possession of marijuana and driving with an invalid license. These bonds are set at Keller’s arraignment and are usually posted within hours. See our criminal cases page.

DWI and DUI Bail Bonds in Colleyville

DWI is the charge Colleyville families call about most, typically after a stop on Colleyville Boulevard or SH-121 late in the evening. A first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor, and Tarrant County magistrates commonly require an ignition interlock device as a condition of bond. We explain that condition, and how it is installed, before release. Our DWI and DUI bail bonds page has more detail.

Warrant Bail Bonds in Colleyville

An outstanding Tarrant County warrant often surfaces during a routine stop on Glade Road or Cheek-Sparger Road. We post bonds on existing warrants and frequently arrange walk-through surrenders, where a Colleyville client with a warrant appears at the appropriate facility with a bond already prepared and leaves the same day. For professionals who cannot afford an arrest at work, this is the most discreet option available.

Traffic and Class C Bonds in Colleyville

Colleyville Municipal Court traffic warrants are Class C matters. We confirm the warrant type, explain what the court and the Keller jail will accept and post a surety bond where permitted. Our traffic ticket bail bonds page covers the process.

How the Bail Process Works in Colleyville

Six steps take a Colleyville arrest from your first call to the release lobby at Keller.

• Call 817-261-2828. Provide the person’s full legal name and date of birth, where the arrest occurred and the charge if you know it. A live agent answers at any hour.
• We confirm custody and the bond amount. We check the Keller inmate search and Tarrant County records. If arraignment has not happened, we tell you when to expect it and prepare paperwork so nothing waits on us.
• Co-signer paperwork. The indemnitor signs the bond agreement and provides identification. Nearly all of it can be handled by phone, fax or email; a mobile agent can also meet you at your home in Colleyville or at the Keller jail.
• We post the bond. Our agent files the surety bond with the Keller Regional Detention Center or, if the person has been moved, at the Tarrant County Bond Desk on N. Lamar Street.
• Release. Keller processes releases at the jail lobby, usually within a few hours of bond confirmation on weekdays. Weekend nights and holiday periods run slower because of booking volume. No bondsman can promise an exact time, and we do not.
• Court reminders. We provide every court date to the defendant and co-signer and send reminders ahead of each one so the bond stays in good standing.

Two changes in Texas law affect this timeline. Senate Bill 6, the Damon Allen Act, has required since December 2021 that magistration occur within 48 hours of arrest and that a Public Safety Report be reviewed before bail is set; it also prohibits personal bonds for defendants charged with certain violent offenses. Proposition 3, approved by Texas voters on November 4, 2025, allows a judge to deny bail altogether in defined violent and sexual felony cases when the state proves its grounds by clear and convincing evidence. The typical Colleyville DWI or misdemeanor assault is not in that category, and a surety bond remains the normal route to release. The Texas Justice Court Training Center bail page has a complete summary.

Affordable Bail Bonds in Colleyville: Payment Options

Affordable at A Way Out Bail Bonds means a fee structure that fits the household rather than the full bail amount deposited with Tarrant County.

• Payment plans. Installments are available on many bonds so release does not depend on a single payment.
• Low down payment options. Approved co-signers can often begin with a smaller initial payment.
• No credit check. We look at the charge, the defendant’s history and the co-signer’s stability rather than a credit score.
• Co-signer options. More than one family member can share the indemnitor role.
• Collateral only when required. Most misdemeanor bonds need none; when a felony bond does, 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 at the jail.
• Written terms. Every fee and condition is spelled out before you sign.

Local Knowledge: Colleyville Courts, Districts and Rules

Colleyville’s arrests cluster along its two highways and its restaurant corridor. Colleyville Boulevard (SH-26) from the Hurst line to the Grapevine line is the primary DWI enforcement route, particularly near the Village at Colleyville and the Glade Road intersection where the city’s restaurants concentrate. SH-121 along the eastern boundary carries airport traffic and produces both DWI and warrant stops. The residential neighborhoods off Pleasant Run Road, Cheek-Sparger Road and Hall-Johnson Road generate the family violence calls that account for many misdemeanor assault bookings. Community events such as the city’s Fourth of July celebration at City Park and seasonal concerts at the Colleyville Center bring occasional public intoxication cases.

Court matters for Colleyville arrests split by charge level:

• Class C (fine-only): Colleyville Municipal Court, 5201 Riverwalk Dr., Colleyville, TX 76034, 817-503-1300.
• Class A and B misdemeanors: Tarrant County Criminal Courts at the 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.

The process quirk that surprises Colleyville families is the 24-hour pickup rule. If a person booked into Keller turns out to have a warrant from another city, Keller notifies that city, which then has 24 hours to come and pick the person up. A Colleyville arrest for one charge can therefore turn into a transfer to a different jail for an unrelated old ticket, and the family finds itself dealing with two facilities. We identify every outstanding warrant during our first check so you know the whole picture before any bond is posted.

Response Time to Colleyville

Our office at 633 W. Division St., Suite A, Arlington, TX 76011 is about a 25 to 30 minute drive to the Keller Regional Detention Center on Rufe Snow Drive via SH-360 and SH-183 in normal traffic, and about 20 minutes to the Tarrant County Corrections Center in downtown Fort Worth via I-30. Colleyville itself is roughly 20 minutes north of our office. Because paperwork can be completed by phone, fax or email, distance seldom affects how quickly a bond is posted, and a mobile agent can meet you at your home in Colleyville or at the Keller jail if you prefer to sign in person. Drive times are approximate and depend on traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions About Colleyville Bail Bonds

Does Colleyville have its own jail?

No. Colleyville police process arrests at their headquarters at 5201 Riverwalk Dr., then transport the person to the Keller Regional Detention Center, 330 Rufe Snow Dr., Keller, TX 76248, which Colleyville shares with Keller, Southlake and Westlake. Keller is a short-term facility, and people who are not bonded out are eventually transferred to the Tarrant County Corrections Center in Fort Worth. Call us and we will confirm where your family member is.

How confidential is the bail bond process?

Very. Your conversations with our agents, the bond agreement and the payment arrangement stay within the bond process, and we do not contact employers, neighbors or anyone you have not authorized. Arrest records are public documents that we cannot make disappear, but the bail bond itself draws no attention. Paperwork can be completed by phone or email from your home, and a mobile agent can meet you privately rather than at the jail.

How long does Tarrant County take to release after bond is posted?

Release from the Keller Regional Detention Center usually follows within a few hours of bond confirmation, with weekday afternoons fastest. If the person has already been moved to the Tarrant County Corrections Center at 100 N. Lamar St., release processing there can take several hours longer because of the facility’s size and booking volume. Posting the bond while the person is still in Keller is the quickest path.

What does a co-signer agree to?

The co-signer, or indemnitor, guarantees that the defendant will appear at every court date and accepts responsibility for the full bond amount if the defendant fails to appear and cannot be located. Co-signers also agree to keep us informed of address or phone changes. We keep co-signers informed of every court date so the obligation is never triggered.

Will I get the bail bond fee back when the case is over?

No. The fee paid to a bail bond company is the price of posting the bond and is not refunded regardless of how the case ends. A family that pays the full cash bail to Tarrant County instead does receive that money back at the conclusion of the case, less court costs, but only if it can deposit the entire amount up front.

What if the defendant misses a court date in Fort Worth?

The judge can order the bond forfeited and issue a warrant. Contact us the same day. We can often arrange for the defendant to appear voluntarily and ask the court to set aside the forfeiture and reinstate the bond, which protects both the defendant and the co-signer.

Can you post a bond for a Colleyville arrest on a Saturday night?

Yes. Our phones are answered live 24 hours a day, every day, and the Tarrant County Bond Desk never closes. Keller’s arraignments generally happen during the day, so a Saturday night arrest may wait until the next morning for a bond amount, but we prepare everything in advance so the bond is posted as soon as the amount exists.

How do I find out the bond amount for someone at the Keller jail?

Call us at 817-261-2828 and we will look it up. Keller publishes an online inmate search and can be reached at 817-743-4770, and Tarrant County inmate information is at 817-884-3000. If no bond amount is shown, the person has not yet been arraigned, and we can tell you when to expect it.
