In California, the usual bail bond premium is 10% of the bail amount, a rate filed with the California Department of Insurance. Bail itself is set by the Riverside County Superior Court bail schedule or by a judge.

The premium is the fee for the bond and is not refunded. Payment plans are available, and qualified co-signers may be approved with a low down payment.
How long does release from Cois M. Byrd take?
After the bond is posted, Byrd usually releases people within 2 to 6 hours. Weekday daytime is fastest; Friday and Saturday nights are slowest because bookings peak. If the person has been moved to Robert Presley in Riverside, release usually takes 6 to 12 hours.

- We post the bond at Byrd, and the jail completes the release.
Temecula court: which courthouse?
Temecula criminal cases are heard at the Southwest Justice Center, 30755-D Auld Road, Murrieta, CA 92563, next to the jail. The old Temecula Courthouse on County Center Drive closed on December 23, 2024, and its services moved to the Southwest Justice Center.

We send court date reminders to every client.
