How do you post bond after a Tarrant arrest?
Bail has to be set before anyone can post bond.

The amounts come from the schedule in Rule 7.2(b), and judges can go above or below it.
Once you know the bail amount, you can post the full amount in cash, or use a licensed bail bond company that posts the full bail for a fee. For a question about a Tarrant city case, call the Municipal Court magistrates at 205-849-2800.
