Cowboy Bail Bonds Offers Tips On What To Do If Arrested Over Holiday
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 03, 2013 -- Cowboy Bail Bonds President Buckley Chappell wants Texans to enjoy this week’s Fourth of July Holiday, but warns everyone to be safe and heed the law.
“In my line of work, we see an increase in alcohol-related assault charges during the holidays,” Chappell said. “And of course, there will be a spike in DWI arrests due to Texas’ no-refusal policy.”
It is no surprise that TxDOT will enforce its no-refusal policy during the Fourth of July Holiday and Weekend. In 2012, there were 25,000 alcohol-related wrecks in Texas, that left 1,170 people dead, and another 9,000-plus seriously injured. The no-refusal policy means that a driver pulled over for drunk driving, does not have the right to refuse a breathalyzer test. The driver will be placed in custody and detained, while blood is forcibly drawn.
If the worst does happen and you find yourself arrested, Cowboy Bail Bonds says that all is not lost. There are ways they can get you out of jail, even outside of regular business hours.
Some tips to know:
• THE NUMBER TO YOUR BAIL BOND COMPANY: It is not good enough to have our number in your cell phone. The police will take your phone upon arrest. You will be able to make your call once you are in the holding tank and there is no phone book. Our number is: 214.716.5029.
• STASH CASH: Most ATMs have a per-day limit on what you can withdraw. If you don’t want to be stuck inside until the bank re-opens, leave extra cash for bail with someone you can trust, who will bring it to our office and co-sign your bond.
• BE READY TO PROVIDE NAME, BIRTH DATE, AND JAIL LOCATION: We will get more information later, but that is what you will need to start the process.
What you should know, is that even if there isn’t a judge available, there are things we can do to post the bond on your behalf. Despite what people may believe, in most cases, there is no need to wait in jail until after the holiday passes. Cowboy Bail Bonds is open 24/7, 365 days a year and helps thousands of people get out day and night.
“The main thing is, if they have valid identification, their jail location and a method of payment, I will take care of the rest,” said Floor Manager James Etheridge, who will be on duty during the Fourth of July Holiday.
Buckley Chappell also encourages people to be mindful of their surroundings and who they are with. If you are traveling in a vehicle where there is an open container or an illegal substance, all passengers of the vehicle are exposed to arrest, he said.
“Holidays are meant for family and fun, so designate a driver, obey the law and enjoy yourselves. We hope you won’t need us, but we are here if you do,” Chappell said.
