• How can I pay a cash bond?

If the charge is from Hays County, you can pay by:

* Money order or cashier's check made out to the Hays County Sheriff's Office.

If the charge is from another county, you can pay by:

• I paid a cash bond for someone else. How can I get my money back?

The money paid for a cash bond is returned only to the defendant (except in cases of delinquent child support bonds), regardless of who paid the bond. See also "When can I get a cash bond back?" above.

• Bonds Paid in Delinquent Child Support Cases

In cases of cash bonds paid in delinquent child support cases the amount of the cash bond is based on the amount of the child support that is delinquent (in arrears), as either a percentage of the arrears or the full amount of the arrears. The cash bond monies posted/paid by the defendant (called "respondent" in civil law) at the Sheriff's Department are forwarded to the District Clerk's Office. From there the monies are sent to the child support registry who in turn sends them to the person who has legal custody of the children (called the payee). The cash bond is not returned to the person who paid the bond. However the person who owes the child support does get credit for this payment toward his/her child support obligation.
