Cash bond, the dominant bail system in Texas, allows an individual to secure release by merely posting the full cash amount with the court clerk or by paying a fee to a bondsman, who acts as a surety on the bail amount and guarantees the person's appearance in court.
In Texas, a wealthy, high-risk individual charged with a violent offense can almost immediately post a high dollar cash bail, while a poor, low-risk person accused of a non- violent crime can spend years in pre-trial detention waiting for their case to be heard. It is intellectually dishonest to argue that such a system does not violate the accused's constitutional rights and the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Read more here.

Thank you for mentioning that the Texas bail system enables an individual to obtain release by either paying a fee to a bondsman who acts as a guarantor on the bail amount and ensures the person's appearance in court or by depositing the whole cash amount with the court clerk. My friend is posting a bond for a charge. I'll advise her to hire a bondsman specialist to assist her in paying the charge in accordance with the Act.

It gets really hard sometimes when you know someone committed a crime under passion and they deserve bail but then they also don't. That hard line between accountability and mercy is a tough one. Especially here in the city of Los Angeles. Great post!

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

There are moments when it's particularly challenging to reconcile the knowledge that someone acted criminally in a moment of passion, and while they may seem deserving of bail, they might also not. Striking a balance between holding individuals accountable and extending compassion is no easy task. This is especially true in a bustling metropolis like Los Angeles. Great post!

At times, it's tough to balance the understanding that a person committed a crime in a passionate moment, with the decision of whether they should be granted bail. It's a delicate act to navigate between ensuring accountability and offering mercy. This becomes even more complex in a busy city like Los Angeles. Excellent post!

I applied for a business loan and surgery loan for my daughter’s health early February, condition I was told I would be considered and contacted but never got to hear from any of the lenders. A credit repair agent said I would have to be on a 700+ score to be considered but never told how to get my score up to that in no long time. I had a 539 Score. I bumped into a credit review forum where PENTIUM TECHS was mentioned by many people who claimed he fixed their credit. I contacted the hacker out of curiosity and desperation on his email [email protected] we got talking and he gave me a week to delete collections and 2 charge offs. He also got my credit up to 765. I got the surgery loan and was contacted as regards the business loans I applied for. All thanks to PENTIUM TECHS

I just recently got married and accepted into Park University. I had an eviction and my eviction was 5 years old therefore no one would even rent to me. I just wanted to get my life together and live a better life so I needed a credit repair company or freelancer to help me fix my credit ASAP. While making research on the subject, I discovered PENTIUM TECHS came most recommended and I hired them. They are the best fastest credit repair company in the states, in just 8 days, they got rid of the eviction and raised my score to 790. I bought a house thereafter and life became easier with my new credit history. Thanks to them and here is their contact: [email protected] . You can contact them for your credit issues.

This article sheds light on a crucial issue within the Texas bail system, highlighting the disparities and injustices faced by individuals based on their financial status. It effectively conveys how the current cash bond system disproportionately impacts low-income individuals, resulting in prolonged pre-trial detention for minor offenses while wealthier individuals can secure immediate release for serious charges. By emphasizing the violation of constitutional rights and the principle of equal protection, the article advocates for necessary reforms to achieve a fairer and more equitable justice system. It has helped me grasp the importance of addressing these inequalities and advocating for reform to ensure justice with accountability for all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Great job in bringing attention to this critical issue and advocating for positive change!

This piece illuminates a significant problem in the Texas bail system, underscoring the inequalities and unfair treatment that people encounter based on their economic standing. It adeptly illustrates how the prevailing cash bond system adversely affects those with limited resources, leading to extended pre-trial detentions for minor infractions, whereas affluent individuals can swiftly secure their release for more severe offenses. The article stresses the breach of constitutional rights and the fundamental principle of equal protection, calling for essential reforms to foster a more just and equitable legal system. It has enlightened me on the necessity of confronting these disparities and pushing for changes to ensure that justice, coupled with accountability, is served to everyone, irrespective of their financial situation.

This article on Texas bail reform brings attention to a crucial issue in our justice system, highlighting the disparities that exist based on wealth and risk level. It's heart-wrenching to see how someone with financial means can secure their release swiftly while others, often from marginalized communities, languish in detention for extended periods, merely because they cannot afford bail. This inequality not only violates constitutional rights but also perpetuates systemic injustices. By shedding light on these disparities, the article prompts us to reflect on the need for reform that balances justice with accountability, ensuring fair treatment for all individuals regardless of their financial status. It's a call to action for a more equitable and humane approach to the bail system in Texas.

This article on Texas bail reform sheds light on a critical issue that affects many people unfairly. It's eye-opening to learn how the current cash bail system can lead to disparities, where wealthy individuals accused of serious crimes can easily get out of jail, while those who can't afford bail may remain incarcerated for extended periods even for minor offenses. This inequality seems unjust and goes against our principles of fairness and equal rights under the law. It's important for us to advocate for reforms that ensure everyone, regardless of financial status, is treated fairly in the legal system. This article has helped me understand the urgency of addressing these issues and working towards a more just and equitable bail system in Texas.

I really appreciated this article about cash bail and how it affects people unfairly based on their wealth. It clearly showed how the system can make freedom depend on how much money someone has, which seems so wrong. The way the article explained the constitutional and moral issues made me understand why we need to reform bail practices to make sure everyone is treated fairly, no matter their financial situation. You did an excellent job of breaking down this important topic and helping me see why bail reform is so crucial. Thanks for making such a complex issue easy to understand!

When the man I love broke my heart, I felt something did left me because I wasn't myself anymore. I had gone to several places for help and counseling yet, I got no results. Until I found [email protected] and I was introduced to Dr Muna by text +2347035449257. I explained my marriage issues with Dr Muna. I’m glad I trusted him by doing all he requested. He performed a spiritual cleansing to banish negative energies that was battling against the joy in my home and then casted a love spell. After 72 hours, the man I was missing began to call and after our conversation, he texted how much he badly misses me too. He apologized for leaving me in the dark and we got back together again.
