How to Bond Someone Out of Dallas County Jail (what the site says)
If your loved one is eligible for bond at Dallas County Jail, there are two ways to get them out. Here's what the jail says—plus what to confirm before you spend time or money.
According to Dallas County Jail, eligible inmates can bond out one of two ways: posting a cash bond or going through a bonding company. Which option works best depends on the bond amount and what you can afford up front.
Note: The jail lists bonding companies as an option, but details can vary case-by-case. Before you commit to a bondsman, confirm with the jail that this person can use a bonding company and what the jail will require.
The county's website covers the basics, but it won't tell you every requirement for your specific situation. Call ahead to avoid a wasted trip. The main facility number is 515-993-4771. Administrative office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The Records Department keeps the same hours and can be reached at the same number - those are your best windows for getting detailed answers.
- Call during business hours - Reach the jail/records at 515-993-4771 Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
- Ask if they’re eligible to bond out - Confirm that bond is allowed for this person before you try to pay anything.
- Confirm what you must bring or provide - Ask what information and documentation they require and what payment method(s) they’ll accept for posting bond.
If you’re told you need to handle bond in person (or you’re coordinating with someone who will), Dallas County Jail’s listed physical address is 28985 Thin Blue Line Lane, Adel, IA 50003.
