Bond Conditions You May Face

In Bastrop County, DWI bonds frequently include conditions beyond the dollar amount:

  • Ignition interlock device — required in your vehicle; the car will not start without a clean breath sample
  • SCRAM continuous alcohol monitoring — ankle bracelet transmitting readings 24/7
  • No-alcohol condition — complete abstinence throughout the case
  • Travel restrictions — may require remaining in the county or state
  • Pretrial services check-ins — regular reporting to a supervision officer

Bond Reduction Hearings

If the bond set by the magistrate is beyond what your family can post, your attorney files a motion for bond reduction and schedules a hearing before the trial judge. The attorney presents evidence of community ties, employment, and lack of flight risk. Reduction is not guaranteed — but it is available and often successful in Bastrop County cases where the amount was set high on initial arraignment.
