Cryptocurrency payments
This business accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Solana only. We do not accept cash, credit cards, checks, wire transfers, bank transfers, or any other cryptocurrency under this payment policy. Every payment is verified by this server reading the blockchain directly, to a stated confirmation count — never on the strength of a screenshot or a notification.
Three rules that override everything else on this page
- Send only to the address on your own invoice, on this site, while you are looking at it. If an address arrives by text, email, or message, it is not this office until you have read it back on the phone.
- Nobody here will ever ask for your wallet password, private key, seed phrase, or recovery phrase. No business needs any of them to receive a payment. Anyone who asks is stealing.
- This business cannot reverse a crypto payment. There is no chargeback or recall. A chain reorganization or a network failure is outside this office's control.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Solana.
This office accepts four assets and nothing else: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Solana. The invoice names the asset and the network. If a coin is not on this list, do not send it.
| Asset | Network you must use | Type | Confirmations required | Address status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Bitcoin BTC |
Bitcoin mainnet | Native chain | 2 | Accepting |
 Ethereum ETH |
Ethereum mainnet | Native chain | 12 | Accepting |
 Litecoin LTC |
Litecoin mainnet | Native chain | 3 | Accepting |
 Solana SOL |
Solana mainnet | Native chain | 1 | Accepting |
All listed assets are configured
Every invoice issued will reserve a real address and be verified on-chain to the confirmation count shown.
One invoice, one address, one network
An invoice is issued against a specific bond at a specific price and fixes the exact amount in the chosen asset. It expires, so an address is never left live indefinitely.
The bond is priced, then an invoice is issued
The premium is calculated from the bail amount and shown itemized before any invoice exists. Court and jail fees are listed separately and are never folded into the total — they are charged by the county and collected by the county.
You choose the asset and the invoice picks one address
The invoice reserves a single address for a single asset on a single network. It also prints the amount in that asset, converted from the dollar total at a stated rate and rounded down to the nearest supported decimal, so the amount shown is the amount to send.
You send from your own wallet
Scan the QR code or copy the address, verify both the asset and the network, and send. Transaction fees are set by the blockchain and paid by you; this office does not collect them and cannot reduce them.
This server watches the chain, not the browser
When the transaction appears the status moves to confirming. When it reaches the confirmation count printed on the invoice it moves to confirmed, and a receipt becomes available. A payment under the invoiced amount shows as underpaid with the shortfall stated, rather than being quietly accepted.
An expired address is never reused
Once an invoice expires, its address is closed and a new invoice gets a new address. An address is never reused across invoices. If a payment was already in flight when the clock ran out, the office can still verify it and credit the invoice; nothing new should be sent to that address.
Why "sent" and "received" are different words here
A signed message, a screenshot, a wallet notification, or a webhook from a third party all have the same weakness: they describe what somebody says happened. On an irreversible payment rail, that is not good enough to release a bond against.
So this server asks the chain directly. It reads the invoice address, sums what actually arrived, checks the block height for confirmations, and derives the status itself.
- Nothing the browser reports can advance an invoice.
- Nothing a notification claims can advance an invoice — every notification is answered with a fresh lookup.
- If the chain lookup fails, the invoice stays where it is. A failed lookup never advances anything.
- Underpayment is shown as underpayment, with the shortfall, instead of being rounded up to paid.
The practical consequence: when the page says confirmed, the money is verifiably on-chain at the stated depth. It does not mean a form was submitted.
Confirmation counts
Different chains carry different risks of a reorganisation, so the number of blocks required differs.
What the invoice timer means
60 minutes is the life of an invoice by default. That window exists so an address is not left open to be paid into months later, after the rate has moved and the bond has long since been handled.
If it expires, ask for a new invoice. Sending to an expired address means the money arrives somewhere nobody is watching, and recovery is slow and not guaranteed.
Risk, fees, and refunds — stated before you pay
Risk disclosures
- A cryptocurrency transaction cannot be recalled or charged back by this business. A blockchain reorganization or network failure can undo a confirmation; those events are outside this office's control.
- You are solely responsible for selecting the correct cryptocurrency and the correct blockchain network. Funds sent on the wrong network, or to an address that is not the one on your invoice, may be permanently lost.
- Cryptocurrency values fluctuate. The amount owed is the amount stated on the invoice at the time it is issued.
- A payment is not treated as received until it reaches the confirmation count shown on the invoice and has been verified by this server against the blockchain.
- We never ask for your wallet password, private key, seed phrase, or recovery phrase. Anyone who does is impersonating us — hang up and call the number on this site.
- Transaction (network) fees are set by the blockchain, are paid by the sender, and are not collected by this business.
Fees
Fees charged by the jail or the courts, where applicable, are itemized separately from the premium and are not collected by this office.
Refunds
The premium is earned in full when the bond is posted and is not refundable. An overpayment above the amount due is returned to a verified return address you control after the payment has fully confirmed and reconciled; any other refund of a confirmed payment is at the business's sole discretion and is subject to the written agreement.
The full refund policy sets out what is and is not refundable, including why a premium is earned when the bond is posted.
Six ways people lose money on bond payments
Every one of these has happened to someone paying a bondsman. They are listed so that recognising one costs you nothing.
-
01
An address that arrived by message
The most common loss. A legitimate invoice exists only on the business's own site. If an address arrives by text, email, or social message — even from someone who knows the details of the case — it is not confirmed until you read it back on the phone.
-
02
Someone asking for a recovery phrase
There is no legitimate reason for anyone to need it, ever, for any payment. Anyone who asks is going to empty the wallet the moment they have it, and the request itself is the proof.
-
03
A "verification wallet" or "refund wallet"
A second wallet to receive a refund, or to "verify" a payment, is a second chance to steal. Refunds come back to an address you already control, not to one you are told to set up.
-
04
Pressure to send before a deadline
Urgency is the tool. Real deadlines exist in bail, but they are never a reason to send to an unverified address. Calling takes two minutes and removes the whole risk.
-
05
A "processing fee" added on the night
The premium is a percentage with a stated minimum, itemized before you commit. Anything invented at the moment of payment, on top of that, is not a fee — it is a skim.
-
06
A guarantee of release
Nobody can guarantee a release time, and nobody can influence a bail amount. A guarantee is a sign that the person making it does not understand the process or is betting you will not check.
If you think you have been targeted
Stop sending anything, then call this office on the number printed on this site — not a number from the message you received. Have the address you were given ready and read it back. That single call settles whether it was legitimate.
If funds were already sent, there is no recall mechanism. Report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center and to the Texas Attorney General's consumer protection division. Neither can reverse a transaction, but both build the record.
