Fullerton
Bail Bonds
Fullerton is a north Orange County university city policed by its own independent department at 237 West Commonwealth Avenue. Most Fullerton holds that continue past initial processing end up at the county's Theo Lacy Facility in the city of Orange. We work both ends, 24 hours a day. 10% premium, 1% down on approved credit.

Why Choose Midnight In Fullerton
Licensed agents on every shift, honest answers about where your family member actually is, and financing built for families who didn't plan on an arrest this week.
An Independent Police Department Downtown — And A Predictable County Transfer
Fullerton is not a Sheriff-contracted city. The Fullerton Police Department is a municipal agency at 237 W Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton, CA 92832, (714) 738-6800, in the downtown civic block. What is worth knowing before the phone tree wastes your night: Fullerton holds that continue past initial processing typically move into the Orange County Sheriff's system and land at the Theo Lacy Facility, 501 The City Dr S, Orange, CA 92868 — a major county jail the Sheriff lists at a maximum capacity of 3,442. That is a different city, a different agency, and a different release desk.
24/7 Availability
A licensed agent answers the phone at 3 a.m. on a Sunday the same way we answer at 3 p.m. on a Wednesday. Fullerton bookings do not wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Bilingual Agents
English and Spanish-speaking agents on every shift. Premium, cosigner obligations, and payment terms get explained in the language your family actually speaks.
No Collateral In Most Cases
Most bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified signature alone — no property, no pink slip. Above that, collateral may be requested depending on the charge and how the cosigner qualifies.
Affordable Payment Plans
California fixes the premium at 10% of the bail. The down payment is what flexes — as low as 1% on approved credit, with the balance on a written plan.
Licensed & Accountable
California License #1846101, with a staffed office at 965 N Vignes St #5, Los Angeles, CA 90012 covering Fullerton — a real office with real agents, not a national call center routing your case to a stranger.
How Bail Bonds Work In Fullerton
A Fullerton arrest begins with the city's own department, then either ends there on a bond or moves into the Orange County Sheriff's system. The bail figure comes from the county-wide schedule either way.
Arrest & Booking With The Fullerton Police Department
Fullerton Police Department officers make the arrest and initial processing runs through 237 W Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton, CA 92832, (714) 738-6800. Prints, photograph, and record checks have to clear before a bond is accepted. Confirm the person is still at Commonwealth Avenue before driving — a transfer to Theo Lacy puts them roughly eight miles south in a different city.
Charge Checked Against The Orange County Bail Schedule
Bail comes from the 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule of the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, approved by the judges under Penal Code §1269b(c) and effective January 1, 2026. Misdemeanors and infractions are scheduled here, unlike in San Bernardino County, and felony bail is computed per case from the highest single count plus enhancements. Larceny and fraud offenses use the scheduled amount or the loss amount, whichever is higher.
Call Midnight — We Confirm Where They Are
Call (213) 295-7796 with a full legal name and date of birth. We check the Fullerton city booking and the Orange County system, tell you where they are right now, and read back the exact bail amount and premium before you pay anything.
Qualification & Approval
A short cosigner conversation — employment, residence, and how the balance gets paid. Most approvals take minutes, and most Fullerton bonds require no collateral.
Bond Posted Where They Actually Are
We post at the facility holding the defendant, whether that's the city jail or the county jail system in Santa Ana, Orange, and Irvine after transfer. Release from a municipal booking area is usually faster; the county facilities run a processing queue that can take several hours, longer on weekends and holidays.
Payment Plan Begins
The remaining premium is paid on the written schedule agreed up front. No surprise fees, and we remind you of every court date so the bond stays in good standing.
Bail amounts for Fullerton arrests come from the Orange County 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule (effective January 1, 2026), the same county-wide schedule used for every other city in Orange County.

What Bail Bonds Cost In Fullerton
The premium is fixed by California law. The down payment is where we can help.
The Premium Is 10% — By Law
Bail premium rates in California are filed with and approved by the Department of Insurance under Cal. Ins. Code §1800. A bondsman quoting a Fullerton family less than the filed 10% premium as the total cost is quoting something they can't legally deliver.
The Premium Is Earned, Not Refundable
Once the bond is posted the premium is earned in full — whether the case is dismissed at arraignment or runs two years. That's the price of the surety, not a deposit held against the bail.
The Down Payment Is What's Negotiable
Down payments start as low as 1% of the bail on approved credit. The remainder of the 10% premium is financed on a written plan with fixed installments you agree to before signing.
Collateral Isn't Usually Required
Most Fullerton bonds under $100,000 are written on a qualified cosigner's signature. Larger bonds may call for collateral depending on the charge and the cosigner's file.
| Bail Amount | 10% Premium | Down At 1% |
|---|---|---|
| $20,000 | $2,000 | $200 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 |
The 1% figure is a down payment on approved credit, not a discounted premium — the full 10% is still owed on the payment plan. For the full 1% through 10% tier comparison and who qualifies for each, see affordable bail bonds.
Fullerton Jails We Serve
Commonwealth Avenue holds people at the start of a case. The realistic next stop for a Fullerton hold that continues is Theo Lacy in the city of Orange — confirm before you drive.
Fullerton City Jail
237 W Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton, CA 92832
(714) 738-6800
The independent Fullerton Police Department's headquarters and booking point in the downtown civic block. A municipal operation with its own records desk — not a Sheriff's facility, and not long-term housing.
Where Fullerton Arrestees Transfer
Theo Lacy Facility
501 The City Dr S, Orange, CA 92868
The usual destination for a Fullerton hold that continues past initial processing. A major Orange County Sheriff's male housing facility, listed by the Sheriff at a maximum capacity of 3,442.
Intake Release Center (IRC)
550 N Flower St, Santa Ana, CA 92703
The Sheriff's countywide booking and release point in Santa Ana. Many county-level Orange County releases finish here even when housing was elsewhere.
OC Central Men's & Women's Jail
550 N Flower St, Santa Ana, CA 92703
Sheriff-operated housing on the same Flower Street complex as the IRC, holding much of the county's pretrial population.
Where Fullerton Cases Are Heard
North Justice Center
1275 N Berkeley Ave, Fullerton, CA 92832
The Orange County Superior Court location designated for Fullerton's criminal and traffic matters under the Court Designation List effective June 30, 2025. In-custody defendants who do not bond out are transported here.
What We Need When You Call
Have these ready and we can locate the booking — city jail or county — and quote the premium on the first call.
Defendant's Full Legal Name
First, middle, and last as it appears on their ID. Nicknames slow the jail search.
Date of Birth
Prevents confusion when multiple people share the same name in the booking system.
City or County of Arrest
Tells us which jail to check first — Riverside, San Bernardino, LA, Orange, or San Diego.
Booking Number (If Available)
Not required, but if you have it, it speeds up locating the record considerably.
Cosigner Contact Info
Cosigner's name, phone, employer, and general credit range — this is what determines your financing terms.
Your Relationship to the Defendant
Family, friend, or coworker — helps us know who to loop in on updates and paperwork.
Most Common Bail Charges In Fullerton
Bail is set by the Superior Court of California, County of Orange schedule, not by the city — so a Fullerton booking starts from the same figures as one anywhere else in the county. The ranges below are county schedule ranges, not city-specific numbers.
DUI
County schedule range: $5,000 – $100,000
A first misdemeanor DUI sits at the low end of the schedule and can sometimes release on citation. Priors, injury, or a high BAC push the amount up fast.
View PageDomestic Violence
County schedule range: $50,000 – $100,000
Corporal injury filings book high and usually come with a protective order at arraignment. Release conditions matter as much as the bond — we walk cosigners through both before anything is signed.
View PageDrug Possession & Sale
County schedule range: $10,000 – $100,000+
Simple possession books low and often qualifies for diversion. Possession for sale and transportation book far higher, and weight or priors move the number quickly.
View PageAssault & Battery
PC §240 / §245(a)(1)
County schedule range: $25,000 – $50,000
Simple battery books at the low end. Assault with a deadly weapon is a strike-eligible felony and books substantially higher, often with additional enhancements filed.
View PageTheft & Burglary
PC §484/§487 and PC §459
County schedule range: $20,000 – $50,000
Petty theft books low; grand theft and first-degree residential burglary book substantially higher and carry felony jail or prison exposure. Burglary has its own dedicated page on this site.
View PageAbout Fullerton
Fullerton is a north Orange County city of about 140,000, bordered by Buena Park, Anaheim, Brea, and Placentia, and served by the 91 and 57 freeways. California State University, Fullerton and Fullerton College put a large student population in the city, and the downtown bar district around Harbor Boulevard and Commonwealth Avenue produces a recognizable weekend arrest pattern — public intoxication, DUI, fights outside closing time, and the occasional escalation into a felony charge.
Policing is municipal. The Fullerton Police Department operates from 237 W Commonwealth Ave, (714) 738-6800, a block from the same downtown corridor that generates much of its late-night workload. The practical fact for families is the transfer path: a Fullerton hold that is not resolved locally typically moves to the Theo Lacy Facility at 501 The City Dr S in the city of Orange. If you have been calling Fullerton for an hour and getting "no longer here," that is almost certainly where the person went.
Fullerton cases are filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, with bail set from the county-wide 2026 Uniform Bail Schedule. Criminal and traffic matters arising in Fullerton are designated to the North Justice Center at 1275 N Berkeley Ave in Fullerton, under the Orange County Superior Court Court Designation List effective June 30, 2025. What we confirm immediately on the phone is the facility, the scheduled bail for the actual charge, and whether PC §1270.1 freezes that figure until a judge sees the case.
