Bail Bonds Service in Coppell, TX
A Way Out Bail Bonds writes bail bonds for Coppell, Texas families around the clock, and most Coppell calls begin with a person in the holding facility at the Coppell Justice Center, 130 Town Center Blvd. Coppell police book arrestees there, hold them briefly, and then release them on bond or transfer them to the Dallas County Jail (Lew Sterrett Justice Center), since nearly all of Coppell lies in Dallas County. We post felony, misdemeanor, DWI, warrant and traffic bonds for those arrests under Dallas County Bail Bond License #285, with bonds underwritten by United States Fire Insurance Company. With more than 35 years at the Dallas and Tarrant County bond desks, a phone answered live 24 hours a day, bilingual agents (Se habla espanol), and payment plans with no credit check, we can start the release on your first call. For a Coppell arrest, dial our Dallas County line at 214-760-9978. Read reviews from Dallas County families who have worked with A Way Out Bail Bonds.

About Bail Bonds in Coppell, TX
Coppell is a commuter and logistics city wedged between DFW Airport and the Dallas North Tollway corridor, and its arrest patterns follow the highways more than the neighborhoods. The 2020 census counted 42,983 residents on about 14.4 square miles in the northwest corner of Dallas County, with a small strip north of State Highway 121 that reaches into Denton County. Interstate 635, SH-121 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway, the President George Bush Turnpike and Belt Line Road all cross or border the city, and part of DFW Airport property sits inside Coppell city limits. The result is a steady flow of traffic-stop arrests: warrants discovered on I-635 or SH-121, DWI stops on Belt Line Road and Denton Tap Road after the Old Town Coppell restaurants close, and possession or theft charges tied to the distribution warehouses in the south end of the city.
Because the Coppell Justice Center is a short-hold facility, the clock matters more here than in cities that run a full jail. A person booked on a Friday night can be moved to Lew Sterrett within a day if no bond is posted, and release from downtown is slower. Our aim is to have the bond ready the moment the magistrate sets an amount, so release happens from Coppell.
What is magistration?
Magistration is the first appearance after an arrest, held before a magistrate rather than the trial judge. The magistrate reads the charge, advises the defendant of their rights, reviews the Public Safety Report that Texas law requires, and sets the bail amount and any release conditions. Texas requires this appearance within 48 hours of arrest, and until it happens there is usually no bond amount to post. Our How Bail Bonds Work page walks through the full sequence.

Which Jail Will Someone Arrested in Coppell Be Taken To?
A person arrested by Coppell police is taken to the Coppell Police Department holding facility at the Coppell Justice Center, 130 Town Center Blvd., Coppell, TX 75019, and if no bond is posted within roughly 24 hours, is transferred to the Dallas County Jail (Lew Sterrett Justice Center), 111 W. Commerce St., Dallas, TX 75202. The Coppell Police Department’s main number is 972-304-3600. Dallas County inmate information is 214-761-9025, and the county bond desk operates 24 hours a day. The path normally runs like this:
- Arrest and transport to 130 Town Center Blvd. Coppell officers bring the arrestee to the Justice Center, which houses the police department, the municipal court and the holding cells in one building. Booking includes fingerprints, photographs and a property inventory.
- Short hold in Coppell. The facility is built for stays of no more than about a day. In that window the person is seen by a magistrate, released on bond, or scheduled for transfer.
- Magistration and bond setting. A magistrate reviews the charge and the Public Safety Report and sets bail. A Dallas County charge carries a Dallas County bond no matter where the person is physically held.
- Bond posting. Our agent files the surety bond through Dallas County and coordinates with Coppell jail staff so release is processed on site. If the person has already been moved, we post at the Dallas County bond desk, 111 W. Commerce St.
- Release. From Coppell if the bond lands in time; from Lew Sterrett if not, which takes longer because of the volume processed there.
To confirm county custody, the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office publishes an inmate lookup, and the City of Coppell Police Department page lists current contact information. We make both calls for you.
The Denton County Portion of Coppell
Coppell is a split city, and a small number of arrests are Denton County cases. The area north of SH-121, including the Coppell Greens subdivision, sits in Denton County. A state-offense arrest there is booked on a Denton County charge, and a person who is not bonded out is transferred to the Denton County Jail, 127 N. Woodrow Ln., Denton, TX 76205, rather than to Lew Sterrett.
Arrest area | County | Where the bond is posted |
|---|---|---|
South of SH-121 (most of the city, including Old Town and the I-635 corridor) | Dallas County | Dallas County bond desk, 111 W. Commerce St., or at the Coppell facility before transfer |
North of SH-121 (Coppell Greens and nearby streets) | Denton County | Denton County Jail, 127 N. Woodrow Ln., Denton |
A Way Out Bail Bonds is licensed in Dallas County and Tarrant County. If the arrest was booked as a Denton County case, we confirm the facility, explain the Denton County process and connect you with a resource licensed to post the bond there. We do not write bonds in Denton County, and we say so plainly rather than leave you waiting.

Class C Charges and Coppell Municipal Court
Fine-only Class C offenses, including traffic citations and ordinance violations, go to Coppell Municipal Court at the same Justice Center address, 130 Town Center Blvd. The court’s phone is 972-304-3650, and its hours are Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Friday 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., per the City of Coppell Municipal Court page. If a municipal warrant has been issued for an unpaid ticket or a missed appearance, call us before you go and we will explain what the court accepts and whether a surety bond is an option.
Bail Bond Services We Offer in Coppell
Our Coppell service covers every charge level that moves through the Justice Center and the Dallas County courts.
Felony Bail Bonds in Coppell
Felony bonds for Coppell arrests are set by the magistrate, and the case then proceeds to the Dallas County Criminal District Courts at the Frank Crowley Courts Building, 133 N. Riverfront Blvd. Coppell felonies often involve warehouse theft south of Bethel Road, drug possession found during highway stops, or assault. Larger felony bonds may call for collateral or a second co-signer, which we explain before anyone signs. See our Types of Bail Bonds page for the differences between felony and misdemeanor bonds.
Misdemeanor Bail Bonds in Coppell
Class A and Class B misdemeanors make up most Coppell bookings: marijuana possession, theft below the felony line, criminal trespass, driving with an invalid license and simple assault. These bonds can often be posted the same day, which is what keeps a misdemeanor arrestee from being transferred downtown.
DWI and DUI Bail Bonds in Coppell
DWI stops in Coppell cluster on Belt Line Road, Denton Tap Road and the SH-121 frontage roads late at night. A first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor, and the magistrate may require an ignition interlock device as a bond condition. Our DWI and DUI bail bonds page covers the conditions that follow a DWI arrest.
Warrant Bail Bonds in Coppell
Warrant arrests in Coppell usually begin as traffic stops on I-635, SH-121 or the Bush Turnpike, where a plate check turns up an outstanding warrant. We post bonds on Dallas County warrants and can often arrange a walk-through, where the person appears with our agent, is booked and bonded in one visit, and avoids an arrest at work or at home.
Traffic and Class C Bonds in Coppell
For Coppell Municipal Court traffic warrants, we tell you what the court requires and, when a surety bond is permitted, post it so the person stays out of custody while the citation is resolved. See our traffic ticket bail bonds page.
How the Bail Process Works in Coppell
The process for a Coppell arrest runs from your first call to a release from the Justice Center or Lew Sterrett in six steps.
- Call 214-760-9978 at any hour. Have the person’s full legal name and date of birth, the arresting agency, and the charge if you know it.
- We locate the person and find the bond amount. We contact the Justice Center and check Dallas County records. If magistration has not happened, we tell you when to expect it and prepare paperwork in advance.
- We complete the agreement with the co-signer. The co-signer provides identification, signs and arranges any collateral. Paperwork can be finished by phone, fax or email, or a mobile agent can meet you in Coppell.
- We post the bond. We file the surety bond with Dallas County and notify the Coppell jail. If the person has already been transferred, we file at the Lew Sterrett bond desk.
- Release is processed. Release from Coppell generally moves faster than release from Lew Sterrett, where processing after a bond is posted can take several hours depending on the day and the queue. We do not guarantee a release time, but we can tell you what is typical.
- We track court dates with you. The defendant and the co-signer receive every court date and a reminder before each one. Appearing in court is the one condition that keeps the bond in good standing.
Two pieces of Texas law shape the process. Senate Bill 6, the Damon Allen Act, in effect since December 2021, requires a Public Safety Report before bail is set and magistration within 48 hours of arrest, and it removes personal bonds for certain violent charges. Proposition 3, approved by Texas voters on November 4, 2025, lets judges deny bail outright in a defined set of violent and sexual felony cases on clear and convincing evidence. Neither change affects the ordinary Coppell arrest, which is a misdemeanor or non-violent felony with a bond set in the usual way. The Texas Justice Court Training Center publishes the statutory details.
Affordable Bail Bonds in Coppell: Payment Options
Affordability in bail bonds comes from how the fee is structured, not from a lower bail amount, and we offer several structures to Coppell families.
- Installment payment plans. On many bonds the fee can be spread across scheduled payments rather than paid in full before release.
- Low down payment options. A qualified co-signer can often begin the release with a reduced initial payment.
- No credit check. Approval rests on the charge, the defendant’s history and the co-signer, not a credit score.
- Shared co-signer responsibility. Two or more family members can sign together.
- Collateral only when needed. Most misdemeanor bonds require none. When a felony bond does, we explain what qualifies and how it is returned.
- Several ways to pay. Major credit cards, American Express, Western Union, personal checks, cash in some situations, and payment at the jail.
- Written terms before you sign. Every fee and condition appears in the agreement you review first.
Details are on our payment options page. If cost is holding you back, call anyway. The conversation is free.

Local Knowledge: Coppell Courts, Districts and Rules
Coppell’s arrests follow its roads and its warehouses. Old Town Coppell, centered on Main Street and Bethel Road, holds the city’s restaurants and the Saturday farmers market and is the most likely source of a late-night DWI stop. Denton Tap Road and Sandy Lake Road carry the commuter traffic that turns into warrant arrests. South toward I-635, the Freeport Parkway and Royal Lane logistics district near the DFW north cargo entrance generates theft, trespass and drug possession cases. Cypress Waters, the mixed-use development at Belt Line Road and I-635, is a Dallas exclave patrolled by Dallas police, so an arrest there goes straight to Lew Sterrett rather than through Coppell.
Court matters for a Coppell arrest divide by charge level:
- Class C (fine-only): Coppell Municipal Court, 130 Town Center Blvd., 972-304-3650, Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Friday 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
- Class A and B misdemeanors: Dallas County Criminal Courts, Frank Crowley Courts Building, 133 N. Riverfront Blvd., Dallas, TX 75207.
- Felonies: Dallas County Criminal District Courts, also at the Frank Crowley Courts Building.
- Denton County portion, above Class C: Denton County courts in Denton, bond posted at the Denton County Jail, 127 N. Woodrow Ln.
One quirk that catches Coppell families off guard: the police department, the municipal court and the holding cells share one address, so a relative who drives to “the Coppell jail” may end up at the municipal court window, which handles only Class C matters and cannot answer questions about a state charge or a Dallas County bond. Ask for the police records or jail window, or let us make the call first.

Response Time to Coppell
Our office at 633 W. Division St., Suite A, Arlington, TX 76011 is roughly 25 miles from the Coppell Justice Center via SH-360 north and SH-121, about a 30 to 35 minute drive in normal traffic. The Dallas County bond desk at 111 W. Commerce St. is about 25 minutes from our office via I-30 and about 20 miles from Coppell via I-635 and I-35E. Because paperwork can be handled by phone, fax or email, distance rarely slows a Coppell release. If you prefer to meet in person, a mobile agent can come to Coppell or to Lew Sterrett. Drive times are approximate and depend on traffic.
Frequently Asked Questions About Coppell Bail Bonds
Where is the Coppell jail located?
The Coppell jail is the holding facility inside the Coppell Justice Center at 130 Town Center Blvd., Coppell, TX 75019, the same building as the police department and the municipal court. The police department’s main number is 972-304-3600. It is a short-term facility, and people who do not bond out within about a day are moved to the Dallas County Jail at 111 W. Commerce St. Call us and we will confirm which facility is holding your family member.
Is a Coppell arrest handled by Dallas County or Denton County?
Nearly all Coppell arrests are Dallas County cases, because the city sits in the northwest corner of Dallas County. The exception is the area north of SH-121, including Coppell Greens, which lies in Denton County. A state-offense arrest there is a Denton County case, and the person would be transferred to the Denton County Jail rather than to Lew Sterrett. A Way Out Bail Bonds is licensed in Dallas and Tarrant counties and will connect you with a licensed resource if the case turns out to be Denton County.
Can you post bail for someone arrested near DFW Airport?
Yes, as long as the arrest is booked as a Dallas County or Tarrant County case. DFW Airport spans both counties, and part of the airport lies inside Coppell city limits. An arrest by Coppell police near the north cargo area is a Dallas County case. An arrest by DFW Airport DPS may be booked into a Dallas or Tarrant County facility depending on location, and we are licensed in both, so we post the bond either way once we confirm where the person was taken.
What does a co-signer agree to when signing a Coppell bond?
The co-signer, also called the indemnitor, promises that the defendant will attend every court date and accepts responsibility for the full bond amount if the defendant fails to appear and cannot be returned to court. The co-signer also pays the fee or arranges the payment plan. We give co-signers every court date and a reminder before each one so that responsibility never becomes an expense.
How can I find out the bond amount for a Coppell arrest?
Call us and we will find it for you. Bond amounts are set at magistration, and until then there is nothing to report. Once set, the amount appears in Dallas County records and can be confirmed through the Coppell jail or the Dallas County inmate information line at 214-761-9025. We check both, tell you the amount and conditions, and explain the payment options for that number.
What happens on a weekend arrest in Coppell?
Weekend arrests in Coppell still move forward, because magistrates see arrestees seven days a week to satisfy the 48-hour rule. The difference is volume: Friday and Saturday bookings are heavier, and a person transferred to Lew Sterrett over a weekend waits in a longer release queue. We answer 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays, so paperwork is ready before the bond is set.
Do you have Spanish-speaking bail agents for Coppell families?
Yes. Se habla espanol. Our bilingual agents explain the bond agreement, payment terms, court dates and co-signer obligations in Spanish, and paperwork can be reviewed in Spanish before anyone signs.
Is the bail bond fee refundable after the case ends?
No. The fee paid to a bail bond company is payment for posting the bond and carrying the risk, and it is not refundable regardless of how the case ends. A family that pays full cash bail directly to Dallas County can recover that money when the case closes, minus court costs, but that requires the entire bail amount up front.
