• What is a cash bond?

A cash bond is the exact amount of money the defendant must pay before being released from jail. The full amount must be paid.

• How can I pay a cash bond?

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

* Cash (exact amount). Be sure to bring the exact amount as the Sheriff's Office cannot give change.
* Money order or cashier's check made out to the Travis County Sheriff's Office.

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

* Money order or cashier's check in the exact amount. Do not make the money order out to anyone until told to do so by the Sheriffs Office.

• Where do I pay a cash bond?

Bring your payment to:

* The Travis County jail at 509 W. 11th St, Austin, TX or
* The Travis County Correctional Complex (Del Valle Jail) at 3614 Bill Price Road, Del Valle, TX

• When can I get a cash bond back?

The money is returned to the defendant after the court case is completely over and the judge orders the money returned. Bonds paid for delinquent child support are not refunded to the payee or to the defendant.

• 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.
