Class C Misdemeanor Bail Bonds
A Class C misdemeanor is the lowest level of charge in Texas, usually a fine with no jail time. But an unpaid Class C or a missed court date can turn into a warrant and an arrest. If you or a loved one is held on a Class C in Fort Worth or Tarrant County, PCS can post a fast, low-cost bond and get them out quickly.
What Is a Class C Misdemeanor in Texas?
Under the Texas Penal Code, a Class C misdemeanor is the least serious criminal offense. It is punishable by a fine of up to $500 and no jail time for the offense itself. Most Class C charges start as a citation rather than an arrest, and they are handled in municipal and justice of the peace (JP) courts. The catch: if the fine goes unpaid or you miss a court date, the court can issue a warrant, and you can be arrested on that warrant, which is when a bond is needed.
Common Class C Misdemeanors
Class C charges cover a wide range of everyday citations, including:
Public intoxication
Disorderly conduct
Theft under $100
Possession of drug paraphernalia
Minor in possession of alcohol
Simple assault by contact
Issuance of a bad check (small amount)
