How bail works in Gaston County
- Booking and magistrateAfter booking at the Gaston County Jail, a magistrate sets conditions of release, usually within a few hours. For most charges that is a secured bond: a dollar amount that must be posted before release. Domestic violence charges wait for a judge, up to 48 hours. How the 48-hour hold works.
- Call 980-384-6630We confirm the charge and the bond from the jail record and quote the premium, capped at 15 percent by North Carolina law. Down payment and installments for families who qualify. Payment plans.
- Sign from anywhereCo-signers must be 25 or older with a valid ID, proof of current income and proof of current address. Signing is done on your phone or at either Charlotte office.
- We post in personOur agent posts at the jail, any hour. Release then belongs to the jail: two to four hours after the bond is accepted. The Gaston County Jail is one of the larger facilities we serve and the release queue can back up on Friday and Saturday nights. The jail sits beside the courthouse, so first appearances are next door.
- Court datesWe send reminders for every date and stay in touch until the case ends. What happens if a date is missed.
