Bilingual Staff
English and Spanish speaking agents so nothing about the charge, the bond, or the court conditions gets lost in translation.

Georgetown, Round Rock, Taylor, Cedar Park, Hutto, Leander, Liberty Hill, and every other Williamson County community.
2. How To Search For An Inmate In Williamson County
Williamson County publishes its own jailing search, and because the county runs a single primary jail the search is far simpler here than in a multi-facility county. Here is how to do it yourself — or hand it to us.
Use The County Records Inquiry Portal
Williamson County publishes its own jailing search at judicialrecords.wilco.org. You can search by name or by booking number — the official system, updated by the county itself.
Check Who Made The Arrest
Georgetown PD, Round Rock PD, Cedar Park PD, and other city departments book locally before any transfer into the county system, so a very recent arrest may still sit with the city.
Allow For The Transfer Window
A fresh arrest can take a few hours to appear in the county system while booking, fingerprinting, and the warrant check are still underway. If a name is not there yet, search again shortly.
Know The Single-Facility System
Unlike larger counties, Williamson County operates one primary jail at 306 W. 4th Street. That simplifies the search considerably — there is no ambiguity about which of several facilities someone might be held in.
Or Hand It To Us
Give us a name and a rough date of birth and call (254) 374-8521. We check the county system and call you back with the charges, the bond amount, and what comes next.
3. Williamson County Jails We Serve
Williamson County operates one primary detention facility in Georgetown, run by the Sheriff's Office Corrections Bureau. City police departments in Round Rock, Cedar Park, and elsewhere book locally before transferring people into the county system.

Official facility informationA Note On The Justice Center Annex
A small in-custody annex inside the Justice Center at 405 M.L.K. Street holds inmates temporarily for court appearances. Transport is handled directly by the Sheriff's Office Corrections Bureau, so this is not a separate place to search for someone — just a detail worth knowing if a hearing is scheduled.
Official County Resources
Williamson County publishes its own inmate records and jail information. These are the county's systems and phone lines — not ours. The county's 24/7 jail information line is (512) 943-1365.
4. How The Bail Bonds Process Works In Williamson County
From the moment of arrest to the day the case concludes, here is what actually happens — and where a bondsman fits into it.
Arrest And Booking
Personal information is recorded, fingerprints and photographs are taken, the charges are documented, and a warrant check is run. Booking can take a couple of hours to several hours depending on jail volume.
Determination Of Bail Amount
Bail is set against the county's bail schedule under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 17.15, weighing offense severity, criminal history, flight risk, and public safety.
Contacting A Bondsman
An initial consultation, documentation — ID, proof of income, and a signed court-appearance agreement — and payment of the premium. The standard premium is 10% under Tex. Occ. Code Ch. 1704, with rates as low as 1% down for qualifying cosigners. Call (254) 374-8521.
Posting Bail
The bondsman issues the bond directly to the court. Processing typically takes 30 minutes to a few hours depending on how busy the jail is at that moment.
Release From Custody
Jail paperwork is completed, the bond is verified, and any court-imposed release conditions are read out — travel restrictions, check-ins, and no-contact orders where they apply.
Court Appearances
Every scheduled date has to be attended. Failure to appear results in bond forfeiture, a bench warrant, and potential legal and financial consequences for the cosigner.
Conclusion Of The Case
Once the case concludes the bond is exonerated. Any collateral provided is returned, provided every court obligation was met along the way.
5. Bail Options After Inmate Location
Once you know where someone is being held and what the bond is, Texas law sets the framework for everything that follows.
Art. 17.15 — Setting Bail
The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure directs the magistrate to weigh a defined set of factors — the nature and circumstances of the offense, the defendant's ability to make bail, criminal history, the safety of the community and the alleged victim, and the future safety of both — and to set bail high enough to secure appearance without being used as an instrument of oppression.
Read Art. 17.15Art. 17.028 — 48 Hours
Added by the 2021 Damon Allen Act (SB 6), Art. 17.028 requires a magistrate to make a bail decision without unnecessary delay and no later than 48 hours after arrest — which is exactly when having an agent already lined up matters most.
Read Chapter 17Ch. 1704 — The 10% Premium
Chapter 1704 of the Texas Occupations Code regulates licensed bail bond sureties. The standard premium is about 10% of the face amount of the bond, and qualified cosigners can start as low as 1% down on a written, interest-free plan.
Read Ch. 1704Typical Williamson County Bail Bond Cost
| Bail Amount | Standard 10% Premium | As Low As 1% Down | Payment Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| $1,500 | $150 | $15 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $5,000 | $500 | $50 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $10,000 | $1,000 | $100 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $25,000 | $2,500 | $250 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 | Yes, with an approved cosigner |
Examples only. The 1% down column shows the initial payment for qualifying cosigners on approved credit — the balance of the premium is financed interest-free. Call (254) 374-8521 for a real quote.
6. Common Bailable Offenses In Williamson County
These ranges are illustrative and anchored to general Texas bail principles — they are not verified Williamson County bail-schedule figures. Only the magistrate sets the actual amount, so treat these as a rough sense of scale and call us for the real number on a specific case.
DWI / DUI
Typical bail: $1,500 – $10,000 (first offense)
A first-offense DWI usually falls in the lower part of this range. Repeat offenses, an accident, a child in the vehicle, or aggravating facts push both the charge and the bond considerably higher.
Drug Possession
Typical bail: $1,500 – $50,000+
Bail varies significantly with the quantity and the penalty-group classification of the substance, prior offenses, and whether distribution or intent to deliver is alleged.
Assault & Family Violence
Typical bail: $2,000 – $25,000+
Family violence cases are treated as high priority. Bonds rise where injury is alleged or where a protective order is already in place and has been violated.
Theft & Burglary
Typical bail: Scales with property value
Texas grades theft in value tiers, so the alleged dollar amount drives whether the case is a misdemeanor or a felony — and the bond follows the grade. Confirm the current tier thresholds with your attorney or the court.
Failure To Appear
Typical bail: Added on top of the original bail
A missed court date creates a new charge and a bench warrant. The new bond is set separately and stacks on top of the bail for the underlying case.
7. Conditions Of Release & Missing Court
Release on bond is conditional. The court expects the defendant to appear at every hearing, to stay out of trouble, and to follow whatever terms the judge attached at release.
Travel Restrictions
Release usually limits travel to Williamson County or the state of Texas. Work, medical, or family travel needs prior approval from the court before you go.
Regular Check-Ins
Scheduled phone or in-person check-ins with your agent, plus prompt updates whenever an address, phone number, or employer changes.
No-Contact Orders
In assault, family violence, and harassment cases the judge may prohibit all contact with the alleged victim — including through third parties and social media.
No New Arrests
Any new arrest, even a minor one, can revoke the existing bond, raise the amount on the new charge, and change how the court views the defendant.
What Happens When A Court Date Is Missed
The Bond Is Forfeited
The court can demand the full face amount of the bond. A fast voluntary return with a legitimate reason sometimes leads a judge to reinstate it, but that is never guaranteed.
A Bench Warrant Is Issued
The judge typically issues the warrant the same day the date is missed. It stays active until the defendant is arrested or comes back to court voluntarily.
The Bond Company May Pursue Recovery
Because the surety is financially responsible, it has the legal right to locate the defendant and return them to custody, and to pursue the cosigner to recover its costs.
The Cosigner Is Financially Responsible
A cosigner who signs the bond agreement is on the hook for the full bail amount plus recovery costs if the defendant does not appear. This is the single biggest risk of cosigning.
Future Bail Gets Harder
A record of missed dates means denial of bail, higher amounts, stricter conditions, and losing access to the low down-payment options entirely.
What To Do Right Now
Call (254) 374-8521 immediately. We can coordinate with your attorney on a motion to recall the warrant and arrange a voluntary surrender instead of an arrest at work or at home.
8. Visitation Rules & Inmate Services
Williamson County publishes its own visitation rules for the jail at 306 W. 4th Street. Policies do change — confirm with the county's 24/7 jail information line at (512) 943-1365 before travelling.

Where The Next Court Date Happens
Williamson County has two buildings that people mix up constantly. Only one of them hears criminal cases.
Williamson County Justice Center — The Active Courthouse
405 M.L.K. Street, Georgetown, TX 78626
This is where criminal cases are actually heard. The Justice Center houses 4 County Courts at Law and multiple District Courts — the 26th, 277th, 368th, 395th, 425th, and 480th. Confirm your courtroom and hearing time with the county before travelling, because dockets and court assignments change.
Williamson County official siteDon't Go To The Historic Courthouse By Mistake
710 S. Main Street, Georgetown, TX 78626
The building on the downtown square is the historic Williamson County Courthouse — a Texas State Antiquities Landmark built in 1911. It is a preserved historic building, not where active criminal cases are heard today. If you are posting bail or attending a hearing, the Justice Center at 405 M.L.K. Street is the one that matters.
About Georgetown, Texas
Georgetown is the Williamson County seat, sitting where the North and South forks of the San Gabriel River meet, about half an hour north of Austin. Our office on Forest Street is minutes from both the county jail on West 4th Street and the Justice Center on M.L.K. Street.
The Historic Downtown Square
One of the best-preserved Victorian commercial districts in Texas, arranged around the 1911 courthouse. The square is the centre of civic life in Georgetown and a short walk from the county buildings.
San Gabriel River Parks
A connected chain of parks and trails following both forks of the San Gabriel River through town, linking neighbourhoods to the downtown core.
Blue Hole Park
A limestone swimming hole on the South San Gabriel River just west of downtown — one of the most recognisable spots in Georgetown and a local landmark for generations.
