An arrest usually happens after a 911 call, the accused is booked into the Tarrant County Jail, and a magistrate sets bail along with protective conditions. PCS Bail Bonds has handled these cases since 1991. You deal directly with a licensed bondsman, not a call center, and we explain the no-contact rules clearly so a mistake after release does not make things worse. Explore bail by charge type, or call us now so your loved one does not spend one extra hour in custody.
Why Families Facing a Family Violence Charge Call PCS First
Arrested on a Family Violence Charge? Here is what happens
After a family violence arrest in Fort Worth or anywhere in the county, the person is booked into the Tarrant County Jail in downtown Fort Worth. A magistrate reviews the charge, sets the bail amount, and in most family violence cases also issues a Magistrate’s Order for Emergency Protection under Texas law. If a weapon was used or the accused has a family violence history, the magistrate can hold them for up to 48 hours before bail. Bond conditions and the EPO are often set by different courts, so the conditions can be strict: no contact with the protected person, staying away from their home and work, GPS monitoring in some cases, and surrendering firearms. Once bail is set, PCS can post a surety bond so your loved one is released while the case moves through the Tarrant County courts. Call us first with the name and we will confirm the charge, the bail amount, and the conditions before you do anything.
Texas Family Violence Charge Levels & Typical Bail
In Texas, “family violence” covers acts against a family or household member or a dating partner. The level of the charge drives the potential punishment and the bail amount. The judge sets the exact bond, but these ranges show how much it can vary:
| Charge Level | Potential Punishment | Typical Bail Range* |
|---|---|---|
| Assault by Contact (Class C) | Fine up to $500 | $500 – $1,500 |
| Assault Family Violence (Class A misdemeanor) | Up to 1 year jail | $1,500 – $5,000 |
| Assault FV by Strangulation / prior conviction (3rd degree felony) | 2 – 10 years | $5,000 – $20,000 |
| Continuous Violence Against the Family (3rd degree felony) | 2 – 10 years | $5,000 – $25,000 |
| Aggravated or repeat strangulation (2nd degree felony) | 2 – 20 years | $10,000 – $50,000+ |
*Ranges are illustrative only. The magistrate sets the actual bail based on the charge, criminal history, and safety factors. Call us for a straight answer on a specific case.

A friend of mine was able to use PCS to make my bond from Tarrant County and Christina specifically was VERY, VERY HELPFUL. They would be the ONLY company I recommend.
They were professional, quick, and very understanding of my situation. The process was explained clearly, and they made everything as smooth and stress-free as possible.
They truly care and get you out as soon as possible and make sure to follow up with the courts so the ones bonded out aren’t just sitting there any longer than they have to!
Karina was so understanding, friendly, respectful, and helpful with helping me understand the Tarrant County legal system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can PCS bond out a family violence charge?
Yes. PCS Bail Bonds posts bonds for family violence and domestic violence charges across Fort Worth and Tarrant County, from a Class A misdemeanor to felony charges. Call us 24/7 at (817) 335-1655 and a licensed bondsman will confirm the bail amount and the bond conditions.
What is an emergency protective order (EPO)?
In most Texas family violence cases, a magistrate issues a Magistrate’s Order for Emergency Protection at the first hearing. It can bar the accused from contacting the protected person, going near their home or work, and possessing firearms, and it stays in effect even after bail is posted. Posting bail does not cancel an EPO; only a judge can change it.
Can they go home after a family violence arrest?
Often not right away. If an EPO or no-contact bond condition is in place, the accused usually cannot return to a shared home or contact the protected person until a court changes the order. We explain exactly what the conditions allow before release, because violating them is a separate crime and can revoke the bond.
How much does a family violence bail bond cost?
A bail bond fee is a percentage of the total bail set by the court, and the bail depends on the charge level. PCS offers flexible, 0% Interest payment plans with no credit check, and you approve the exact cost before anything is charged.
Can someone be held for 48 hours on a family violence charge?
Yes. In Texas, a magistrate can hold a family violence defendant for up to 48 hours before setting bail if a weapon was used or the person has a family violence history. Call us with the name and we will tell you where things stand and move the moment bail is set.
What do I need to bail someone out?
Generally the defendant’s full name and where they are held, a valid photo ID, and a co-signer with proof of residence and steady income or local ties. We will tell you exactly what is required before you commit.
Do you offer payment plans with no credit check?
Yes. PCS offers flexible, 0% Interest payment plans with no credit check and complete confidentiality.
Do you offer family violence bail bonds in Spanish?
Sí. Hablamos español. Our bilingual team explains the entire process, including the protective order conditions, in English or Spanish, 24 hours a day.
