Quick answer: Bond conditions are court-ordered rules you must follow while your case is pending — like ignition interlock devices, alcohol monitoring, travel limits, or no-contact orders. Violating them can land you back in jail with a higher bond, so take them seriously from day one.
Getting out of jail is step one — staying out is step two. This video explains common bond conditions in Texas criminal and DWI cases: interlock devices, portable alcohol monitors, drug testing, check-ins, and no-contact orders.
Judges have wide discretion here, and an attorney can often get conditions reduced or modified — for example, removing an interlock requirement that isn’t legally required for your charge. The video covers what to do if a condition is unworkable for your job or family life.
