Theodore, Alabama
Theodore is an unincorporated census-designated place (CDP) in southern Mobile County, approximately 14 miles southwest of downtown Mobile. The community borders the City of Mobile to the northeast and Tillmans Corner to the northwest — Interstate 10 forms the boundary between Theodore and Tillmans Corner at Exit 13 (Theodore Dawes Road).
Theodore takes its name from William Theodore Hieronymous, a sawmill operator and postmaster from the area around the turn of the 20th century. Prior to 1900 the area was known simply as "Clements."
With a population of approximately 6,270, Theodore is a significant unincorporated community with no city government, no city police department, and no city court. The Mobile County Sheriff's Office has complete jurisdiction over all law enforcement in Theodore.
Interstate 10 runs through the northern edge of Theodore — making it one of the more active enforcement corridors in south Mobile County for DUI, drug charges, and traffic stops that yield warrant arrests. All defendants arrested in Theodore go directly to Mobile County Metro Jail — no city holding facility stop.
M&J Bail Bonds is headquartered in Mobile, minutes from Metro Jail, and handles Theodore arrests 24/7. A bail bond in Theodore costs exactly 10% of the bail amount set by the court — fixed by Alabama law under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 — Alabama's bail bond fee law.

Mobile County Sheriff & Mobile County Metro Jail
Theodore is unincorporated — there is no city police department and no city jail. The Mobile County Sheriff's Office has full jurisdiction, and every arrest goes directly to Mobile County Metro Jail for booking, bail, and release.

510 South Royal Street, Mobile, AL 36603. Phone: (251) 574-2423 / (251) 574-8622. Website: mobileso.com. MCSO deputies patrol I-10, Theodore Dawes Road (Exit 13), Rangeline Road, and the residential streets of Theodore — there is no Theodore city jail or holding facility.

Release Timeline
Because there is no city jail stop, the process can move faster than in incorporated cities. After M&J posts the bond at Metro Jail, release processing typically takes 2–6 hours. Call M&J immediately after arrest — every hour matters.
Finding A Theodore Inmate
Check mobileso.com for Metro Jail bookings — the record appears after arrival since there is no city stop. Or call M&J Bail Bonds at (833) MNJ-BAIL — we are 14 miles from Theodore via I-10 and check the record for you immediately.

Where Bail Is Set
Bail is set at Mobile County Metro Jail after booking is complete. Misdemeanor bail follows the county schedule. Felony bail is set by a Circuit Court judge at arraignment. If you cannot locate your loved one right after a Theodore arrest, they may still be in transit on I-10 — call us and we will tell you exactly where they are.

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).
Court Dates & Case Records
Mobile County court information is published through the 13th Judicial Circuit at mobile.alacourt.gov, and statewide case and court-date lookups run through alacourt.gov. Federal cases are docketed at alsd.uscourts.gov.
Missing a court date in the 13th Circuit means a bench warrant and bond forfeiture. Call us before a date is missed — it is far easier to fix in advance.
Payment Plans For Theodore Families
Many Theodore families do not have the full 10% premium available upfront — that is completely normal. We offer monthly installment plans, co-signer arrangements, and collateral options on larger bonds. As low as 1% down for qualifying cases.
Accepted: Visa, Mastercard, Amex, ACH, Zelle, and cash. Mobile agents come to you if needed. See /alabama/payment-plan-bail-bonds/ and /alabama/no-collateral-bail-bonds/.

What Does A Bail Bond Cost After A Theodore Arrest?
Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) fixes the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the bail amount — the same rate across all of Mobile County. No exceptions.
Charge Level
Avg Bail Range
Your Cost (10%)
01Misdemeanor, petty theft, simple assault
Bail: $500 – $2,500
Your cost: $50 – $250
02DUI, drug possession
Bail: $2,500 – $10,000
Your cost: $250 – $1,000
03Burglary, felony drug charges
Bail: $10,000 – $25,000
Your cost: $1,000 – $2,500
04Robbery, felony assault, trafficking

Your cost: $2,500 – $7,500
05Serious violent felony
Bail: $75,000+
Your cost: $7,500+
How The Math Works
Bail is $15,000. Alabama's regulated premium is 10%, so your cost is $1,500 plus state administrative fees. M&J posts the full $15,000 with the court. The premium is earned and non-refundable once the bond is posted — that is state law, not our policy.
Read the statute: Ala. Code § 12-19-311
10%State-Set Premium
Premium rate verified by FindLaw →
Alabama state administrative fees are added on top of the 10% premium under Ala. Code § 12-19-311 (verified by FindLaw at codes.findlaw.com). M&J discloses the exact total — premium plus state fees — before you sign anything. Ranges are illustrative only and are not a quote or promise of bail.

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.

Start Bail ApplicationBail Eligibility
Who Qualifies For Bail After A Theodore Arrest?
Most people arrested in Theodore are bailable. Alabama's constitution guarantees bail in most cases — but Aniah's Law created an exception for certain violent offenses, and federal cases follow a different process.
Misdemeanor Arrests — Almost Always Bailable
The county bail schedule applies, so no judge is required. DUI, simple assault, petty theft, and misdemeanor possession all fall here, and release is often same-day once bail is set at Metro Jail.
- County schedule — no court appearance needed
- Bond can be posted 24 hours a day at Metro Jail
- See /alabama/misdemeanor-bail-bonds/
Authority
Mobile County bail schedule
Felony Arrests — Usually Bailable
A Circuit Court judge sets bail at arraignment. The I-10 corridor through Theodore drives much of the felony volume — DUI, drug trafficking, and commercial vehicle violations are common.
- Bail set by a 13th Circuit judge
- Preliminary hearing in District Court confirms probable cause
- See /alabama/felony-bail-bonds/
Authority
13th Judicial Circuit — Mobile County
Aniah's Law Charges — Bail May Be Denied
For murder, robbery 1st, burglary 1st, and drug trafficking, a judge CAN deny bail after an Aniah hearing. Call M&J immediately — we check Aniah status in real time.
- Applies only to enumerated violent felonies
- Requires a hearing; denial is not automatic
- We post the moment a judge grants bail
Authority
Ala. Const. Art. I § 16, am. 2022 (Aniah's Law)
I-10 Federal Charges — Different Process
Interstate 10 is a major drug corridor patrolled by state and federal task forces. Federal charges arising from I-10 stops carry a 15% premium and a U.S. Magistrate sets bail rather than a county judge.
- U.S. Magistrate sets conditions of release
- 15% premium on federal bonds
- See /alabama/federal-bail-bonds/
Authority
U.S. District Court — Southern District of Alabama
Who Usually Qualifies
Usually released same day: misdemeanors, first-offense DUI, petty theft, and simple possession booked directly into Metro Jail from Theodore.
Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically
Not automatic: Aniah's Law felonies, outstanding bench warrants, probation holds, and federal or immigration detainers. Call us and we will monitor the docket.

Theodore Arrest & Booking
What Happens First
When someone is arrested by Mobile County Sheriff's deputies inside the Theodore community, this is the exact sequence.
1
Step 1 — The Arrest
Mobile County Sheriff's Office deputies make the arrest — there is no Theodore city police department. Deputies patrol I-10, Theodore Dawes Road (Exit 13), Rangeline Road, and the residential streets of the community. MCSO headquarters: 510 South Royal Street, Mobile, AL 36603 · (251) 574-2423 / (251) 574-8622.
2
Step 2 — Direct Transport To Metro Jail
There is no city holding facility in Theodore. Deputies take defendants directly to Mobile County Metro Jail at 450 St. Emanuel Street, Mobile, AL 36603 — approximately 14 miles northeast on I-10 — for booking, fingerprinting, photographs, and warrant checks.
3
Step 3 — Bail Is Set At Metro Jail
Because there is no intermediate city jail stop, bail is set and the bond is posted at Metro Jail without delay. Booking records appear in mobileso.com after arrival.
4
Step 4 — Call M&J Bail Bonds Immediately
Call us the moment you know about the arrest. We monitor the Mobile County booking system through the Mobile County inmate search — mobileso.com and have the bond ready the moment the record appears. (833) MNJ-BAIL — 24/7.

Most Common Charges
In Theodore, Alabama
Interstate 10 running through the northern edge of Theodore at Exit 13 makes it one of south Mobile County's busiest enforcement corridors — DUI checkpoints, drug interdiction, and warrant service on traffic stops all occur regularly. Domestic violence and property crime near the commercial areas around Exit 13 also drive arrest volume. Crime statistics are drawn from FBI Uniform Crime Reporting data and published analyses of that data; this is general information only, not legal advice, and every bail amount depends on case facts, criminal history, and judicial discretion.
