Posting Bond at Grimes County Jail: Accepted Payment Methods and ID Requirements

Grimes County Jail accepts cashier's checks in person for posting a cash bond or paying a cash fine. If you're heading to the jail to handle a bond or fine at the counter, this is one of the two approved payment methods.

Money orders are also accepted in person for cash bonds and cash fines. Don't have a cashier's check? A money order is the other option the jail lists for in-person payment.

• ✓ Bring the full amount of the bond or fine, because partial payments are not accepted in person.

Make cashier's checks and money orders payable to the Grimes County Sheriff's Office. If the payee line is wrong, you could end up delayed while you get a new one issued. Double-check that part before you leave the bank.

You'll need proper identification when you post a bond or pay a fine. Grimes County Jail requires a valid state or federal photo ID, like a driver's license or state ID card. The ID must show the depositor's photograph, so make sure you bring the actual document you plan to present at the counter.

1. Confirm you have the full amount. The jail accepts only the full bond or fine amount when you pay in person.
2. Get an approved payment instrument. Bring a cashier’s check or money order for a cash bond or cash fine (cash and personal checks are not accepted).
3. Write the payee correctly. Make it payable to the Grimes County Sheriff’s Office.
4. Bring a valid photo ID. Use a valid state or federal ID card or driver’s license with your photograph.
