Let’s say you have already been arrested, booked, and have seen a magistrate in Travis County or Williamson County. After all of these steps, you post bond, and are waiting to be released from jail.

Q: After I post bail bond, how soon will I be released from jail?

A: Anywhere from 2-6 hours.

While it would certainly be nice to have a firm, concrete answer for this particular question, the truth is that the time it takes to obtain release after posting bail bond varies. After the paperwork has been filed, the sheriff places the defendant in a “queue” of sorts, and the time it takes to be released generally just varies based on where a defendant is in that queue. With great certainty, though, we can say that most defendants are released within 2-6 hours of posting bond from the Austin jail or Georgetown jail.
