About
Bayou La Batre Municipal Court

Bayou La Batre Municipal Court is located at 13785 South Wintzell Avenue, Bayou La Batre, AL 36509 — phone (251) 824-1825. Bail is set by the court, not by the jail. That is the fact families most often get wrong: the jail cannot raise, lower, or waive a bail amount, and it cannot release anyone until a bond is posted.

The bond itself is posted at the MCSO Docket inside Mobile County Metro Jail, 450 St. Emanuel Street, Mobile, AL 36603 — open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. You never have to travel there. M&J Bail Bonds delivers the bond in person at any hour.

Bayou La Batre Municipal Court handles City of Bayou La Batre ordinance violations and municipal traffic charges filed by Bayou La Batre Police Department. Presiding judge: L. Daniel Mims. Sessions are held the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at 3:30 PM.

As Alabama's working seafood port, boating-related enforcement is part of this docket — boating under the influence and marine violations show up here alongside ordinary traffic charges. Serious charges are prosecuted at the county level in Mobile County District or Circuit Court.

Bayou La Batre City Jail is a short-term holding facility. Extended custody transfers to Mobile County Metro Jail, 450 St. Emanuel Street — roughly 30 miles north — where bail is confirmed and where the bond is posted at the MCSO Docket. Call (833) MNJ-BAIL and we confirm which facility holds the defendant before you drive.

M&J Bail Bonds is headquartered at 11 North Water Street, Floor 10 in downtown Mobile — blocks from Government Plaza and minutes from Metro Jail. Call (833) MNJ-BAIL and a licensed local agent answers.

Alabama court dates and case records are published at alacourt.gov, with the 13th Judicial Circuit at mobile.alacourt.gov. Custody records are published by the Mobile County Sheriff's Office — mobileso.com.

License Suspensions & State Fees

License suspensions are administered by the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) — view official license suspension information →. First and second offenses also carry a $100 Impaired Drivers Trust Fund fee (§ 32-5A-191.2).

Check The Court Date Before It Is Missed

Alabama court dates are published at alacourt.gov, with 13th Judicial Circuit dates at mobile.alacourt.gov. Federal dockets are at alsd.uscourts.gov.

A missed date means a bench warrant and forfeiture of the bond. Call (833) MNJ-BAIL before the date — it is far easier to fix in advance.

Payment Plans On The Premium

Many Mobile County families cannot pay the full 10% premium at once. We arrange monthly installments, co-signers, and collateral options.

Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/ and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.

What To Expect

What Does A Bail Bond Cost For A Bayou La Batre Municipal Court Case?

Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court. M&J Bail Bonds charges exactly what the law requires — nothing more.

01Misdemeanors, DUI 1st, minor theft

Bail: $1,000 – $5,000

Your cost: $100 – $500

02DUI 2nd/3rd, simple assault, drug possession

Bail: $5,000 – $25,000

Your cost: $500 – $2,500

03DV felony, distribution, burglary

Bail: $25,000 – $100,000

Your cost: $2,500 – $10,000

04Violent felony, trafficking, robbery

Bail: $100,000+

Your cost: $10,000+

How The Math Works

Bail is $10,000. Alabama's regulated premium is 10%, so your cost is $1,000 plus state administrative fees. M&J posts the full $10,000 with the court and delivers the bond to the MCSO Docket at Metro Jail. Payment options: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash — with payment plans and no-collateral options for qualifying bonds. See /alabama/10-percent-bail-bonds/, /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/, and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.

Read the statute: Ala. Code § 12-19-311

10%State-Set Premium

Premium rate verified by FindLaw →

Alabama adds state administrative fees on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311. M&J discloses the exact total — premium plus state fees — before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or a promise of bail.

Flexible Payment Options

Payment Plans
For Real Families

Most families don't have the full 10% premium sitting in a checking account — and that is completely normal. M&J Bail Bonds offers flexible payment arrangements tailored to your financial situation so cost is never the reason your loved one stays in jail longer than necessary.

Payment Plans

We work with you on a payment schedule for the premium. Ask our agents about monthly payment arrangements when you call. No two situations are the same — we will find something that works for your family.

Collateral Options

Depending on the bond amount, collateral may or may not be required. Many DUI bonds — especially first and second offenses — do not require collateral at all. Ask us about your specific situation.

Multiple Payment Methods

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH / bank transfer, Zelle, and cash. Ask about which methods work best for your payment plan arrangement.

Important

The 10% premium is non-refundable under Alabama law — it is earned the moment the bond is posted, regardless of how the case resolves, even if charges are dropped. This is not M&J policy — it is Alabama state law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311). Our agents will explain this fully before you sign anything.
