The Bail Post Episode No. 50: What Does PBT Do for Texas Bondsmen with Guest New PBT President Irma Montemayor


On this episode of The Bail Post, we reach several milestones.  First, this is episode number 50.  Second this is the start of Season 3 of the Bail Post.

On Season 1, the first episode focused on what bondsmen do.  On Season 2, the first episode highlighted why the private industry was so much more successful than any other release mechanism.

For Season 3, the first episode focuses on what it is that PBT does for the bondsmen of Texas.  Our guest is the new president of PBT, Irma Montemayor.  She talks about what it takes to run one of the best and most effective bail associations in the United States.  She also highlights the work that PBT engages in at the Texas Legislature.

There is also a discussion regarding how PBT raises funds to be able to be active at the legislature.  Ms. Montemayor highlights the importance of PBT's continuing education class.

Also, there was a discussion regarding the partnerships that PBT enters into with surety companies to provide additional funds to defend the bail industry to get their story out.  The current partners include:  AIA, American Surety, Bankers, Financial Casualty & Surety, and Lexington National.  Ms. Montemayor challenged agents of sureties not on this list to contact their insurance company to find out why they were not partnering with PBT to defend their businesses.

Join us on The Bail Post as we start Season 3.

Image
On this episode of The Bail Post we discuss an important case involving a recovery agent who was licensed in Louisiana.  A defendant who was charged with a misdemeanor failed to appear for court and then went to the state of Missouri where she was staying at the time she was filed.  The recovery agent and his partner traveled to Missouri, took the defendant into their custody and began traveling back to Louisiana.  The defendant was eventually dropped off at a sheriff's office in Mississippi.  The two recovery agents were charged with federal kidnapping charges because they crossed state lines.  One of the recovery agents plead guilty and was given probation.  The other went to trial and was convicted and given a sentence of 10 years.   The case was appealed because of the jury instructions given by the trial court.   Join us to find out why the court of appeals reversed the case and what the future holds for the recovery agent.

The Bail Post Episode No. 62- How Cartels Took Over the Legal Marijuana Drug Trade With Guest Daniel Greenfield

Image
This Episode of The Bail Post was recorded several months before the election last November.  When we attempted to post information regarding this episode on social media, it was immediately deleted.  After multiple attempts to post the information we began to question our decision to cover this matter.  Were we duped?  Were we just wrong?  Then the issue of cartels and drugs became an issue in the Presidential election.  Now that the election is over, it appears that this information was "suppressed" by social media. This episode of The Bail Post highlights how cartels are taking over the legal marijuana drug industry in California and in other states that have legalized the trade; taking advantage of lax immigration policies.  Our guest is Daniel Greenfield.  Daniel has been a writer, columnist and a journalist for nearly twenty years. In that time he has tackled stories across the country and around the world.  Daniel has worked alongside ...

The Bail Post Episode 63- The Untold Story: Selling Out Public Safety One District Attorney at a Time With Guest Eric Granof

Image
  "History is full of examples where good intentions paved the way to disastrous outcomes.  Today, we are witnessing another such moment -- a social experiment in criminal justice reform that has unleashed unforeseen consequences on our urban communities. This experiment was built on two flawed premises.  The first was that bail is unnecessary and people would voluntarily appear in court without financial incentives.  The second was that “soft-on-crime” policies would not lead to increased criminal activity.  Both assumptions have proven catastrophically wrong, but the damage has already been done. A group of individuals advocating bail reform -- and criminal justice reform in general -- established a network of groups to push a series of initiatives.  It was funded by a small number of extremely deep-pocketed foundations and wealthy billionaires.  Among them, the Open Society Foundation and its prominent backer, George Soros, played outsized roles in ...
