Because of its name, the concept of a transfer bond can be a little misleading. While most people might think that a transfer bond is needed when a person in custody needs to be transferred somewhere else, this is not the case. A transfer bond is actually a bail bond written for a person in another jurisdiction to get them out of jail there. In this example, a jurisdiction is an area of authority controlled by another police force. Let’s say that your sister get’s arrested in Dallas, Texas but you live in Houston. She calls you up one night and says that she has been arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence. Now, considering Houston and Dallas are rather far from each other, we are pretty sure that you don’t want to have to drive all the way up there just to bail your sister out. Luckily, a transfer bond can come to your rescue. Simply give us a call at Kocian Bail Bonds and we will set up a transfer bond to get your sister out of jail without you ever having to get in your car.
