As a crime victim, do I have any say regarding bond conditions (including no contact orders)?
The Ellis County attorney’s office attempts to contact victims of crimes prior to bond hearings. However, defendants must be brought before the first available judge as soon as is practical. Most bond hearings occur at 8:30 am on weekdays (Monday through Friday) for persons arrested the previous day. However, bond hearings are often scheduled in between other hearings when the court has time to see the defendant.No Contact Orders
