If I remember right.

Bail is the full amount needed to get out.
Bond is normally 10% of that amount used as collateral. If you fail to show, then the city, county, state or whatever entity you paid the bond to can come and get your property that you used as collateral.
So when they say $50,000 bond, if I am right, then the real "Bail" is $500,000.

It can happen anywhere, this just happens to be 1/2 mile from my house,

It is believed to be the first homocide in the Clear Lake City area in more than two years.

My wife wonders why I carry every day, all day, whenever legally possible.
I just wish I could get my wife to use her CHL, she has had it for 18 months almost and has not yet ever carried her weapon on her person or purse, she keeps it locked in her car. not likely she will be able to get it when she would need it
