Mesquite Bail Bonds

Mesquite

Ah, Mesquite. The pleasant suburb of Dallas, located on its east side. It’s located smack-dab in the middle of four major highways, making it one of the most accessible cities in Texas. As a matter of fact, it has its own little airport: the Mesquite Metro Airport. While this urban city is heavily populated (it’s the 21st most populated city in Texas), it’s unexpectedly green. The city of Mesquite has been named the Tree City USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation—for 4 consecutive years!

As booming and bustling as Mesquite is, it does see its fair share of crime; in fact, the crime rate in Mesquite is 48% higher than the national average. This means if you live in Mesquite, there’s a 1 in 25 chance you’ll be a victim of a crime (this sounds scary, but it refers to any and all crime—even the petty ones). If the Mesquite Police Department arrests you, you’ll most likely be taken to the Mesquite City Jail (also referred to as the Mesquite Police Jail).

Property Crime in Mesquite

Property crimes (such as theft, burglary, and vehicle theft) are by far the most commonly reported crimes in Mesquite. Of the three, theft is the most common—around 3,500 reported each year. The charge for theft depends on a variety of factors: the value of the stolen item, the criminal history, and the overall nature of the crime itself. However, for the most part, sentence guidelines for theft are as follows (assuming there’s no criminal history):

• Class B Misdemeanor Theft: when the item is worth $50 to $500.
• Bail Bond: $2,000. Since bail is 10%, the jail needs $200 to release an inmate.
• Class A Misdemeanor Theft: when the item is worth $500 to $1,500.
• Bail Bond: $4,000. Since bail is 10%, the jail needs $400 to release an inmate.
• State Jail Felony Theft: when the item is worth $1,500 to $20,000.
• Bail Bond: $10,000. Since bail is 10%, the jail needs at least $1,000 to release an inmate.
• Third Degree Felony Theft: when the item is worth $20,000 to $100,000.
• Bail Bond: $10,000. Since bail is 10%, the jail needs $1,000 to release an inmate.
• Second Degree Felony Theft: when the item is worth $100,000 to $200,000.
• Bail Bond: $10,000. Since bail is 10%, the jail needs $1,000 to release an inmate.
• First Degree Felony Theft: when the item is worth $200,000 or more.

Violent Crime in Mesquite

Thankfully, violent crime is not as common in Mesquite as property crime. Violent crimes include murder/homicide, r*pe, robbery, and assault. Contrary to what one might think initially, robbery isn’t a property crime. It’s classified as a violent crime due to its nature of involving direct contact with a victim, which is usually violent in nature. The most common violent crime in Mesquite is assault (followed closely behind by robbery). Assuming there’s no criminal history, assault sentence guidelines are as follows:

• Class C Misdemeanor Assault: threatening to harm another, or physically making contact with a victim in either an aggressive, provocative, or offensive manner (no injuries).
