Options for Posting Bail

Cash Bond

A person may have the option to pay the full bail amount directly to the jail or court. This money will generally be returned at the end of the case if the defendant attends every hearing. If bail is set at $10,000, a person will need to pay the entire amount at once.

Surety Bond

A surety bond is the most common choice for people who are required to pay thousands of dollars in bail. Doc's Bail Bonds will pay the full bail amount on a person's behalf, and their family or others acting for them will pay a percentage of that amount. Most of the time, a bail bond can be obtained by paying 10% of the bail amount, so if bail is set at $10,000, only $1,000 will need to be paid.

Personal Bond

In some cases, a magistrate may agree to release a defendant on a personal bond in which they will make a promise to appear in court. These bonds, which will not require bail to be paid, are not available in every case.

Where People May Be Taken By Police After Arrests in Princeton

Princeton Police Department

The Princeton Police Department is based at 2000 East Princeton Drive, Princeton, TX 75407. After an arrest by Princeton officers, a person may first be brought to this location for initial processing, such as gathering identifying information and preparing arrest paperwork.

Collin County Jail

After being booked, most people arrested in Princeton will be taken to the Collin County Detention Jail. This facility is at 4300 Community Avenue, McKinney, TX 75071. This is where a magistrate will typically set bail and surety bonds will be filed. Doc's Bail Bonds can help you locate your loved one, determining whether they may still be in Princeton or have been transferred to McKinney.

Why People Are Arrested in Princeton

Princeton is a fast-growing city, and this population growth has led to a rise in police activity. Heavy traffic on U.S. Highway 380 may lead to arrests for driving while intoxicated (DWI). If a person is accused of attempting to flee during a traffic stop, they could face charges of evading arrest.

Officers in the area will often respond to domestic disturbances, and these situations can lead to family violence assault charges or arrests for violating a protective order. Other common charges include theft from retail stores, criminal mischief (vandalism), unlawful carrying of a weapon, and drug possession. Princeton officers may also serve people with warrants for arrest based on issues such as unpaid fines or missed court dates.
