Posting Bond at Grimes County Jail: Accepted Payment Methods, ID, and Approved Bondsmen

Cash bonds and fines at Grimes County Jail are paid in person, and the jail accepts only two forms of payment: a cashier's check or a money order. Bring anything else, and you'll have to leave and come back - adding hours to an already stressful day.

Make your cashier's check or money order payable to Grimes County Sheriff's Office - exactly as written. A different payee name can slow everything down, especially if you need to replace the payment.

Handle this in person at the jail with your payment ready. Confirm the exact total before purchasing your cashier's check or money order - the jail only accepts the full amount. Cash and personal checks won't work for bonds or fines.

Bring a valid state or federal photo ID to post bond or pay a fine. A driver's license or state ID card works - just make sure it has your photograph on it.

Going through a bail bondsman? Grimes County is strict about who can write surety bonds. It's a Bail Bond Board county, so only bonding companies approved by the Grimes County Bail Bond Board can post bonds at the jail.

The sheriff's office publishes an approved bondsmen list with contact details. One option: Capps Bail Bonds (Clint Capps or Sandra Capps), Phone: (936) 873-9996, Fax: (936) 873-9993.
