Stalking Bail Bonds Explained

What Are
Stalking Bail Bonds?

A stalking bail bond works the same as any bail bond — M&J Bail Bonds pays the full bail amount set by the court and you pay the 10% state-regulated premium (Ala. Code § 12-19-311).

Alabama has a comprehensive stalking statute that covers in-person stalking, electronic stalking (cyberstalking), and aggravated stalking (stalking in violation of a court order). The degree of the charge depends primarily on whether a protective or restraining order was already in place at the time of the conduct.

Stalking charges frequently arise alongside Domestic Violence charges — particularly when the stalking involves a current or former intimate partner. A no-contact order is almost always attached as a condition of release on any stalking charge. Learn more from the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center (SPARC).

Alabama Stalking Statute

Alabama stalking law covers in-person conduct, court-order violations, and electronic harassment. Here's a plain-English breakdown of each degree.

Ala. Code §§ 13A-6-90 · 13A-6-91 · 13A-6-95

Stalking 2nd Degree — Class B Misdemeanor

Knowingly engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel terror, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress. The least serious stalking charge under Ala. Code § 13A-6-90.1.

Stalking 1st Degree — Class C Felony

Knowingly engaging in a course of conduct that would cause a reasonable person to feel terror, where the defendant makes a threat of harm or has a prior conviction for harassment, domestic violence, or a related offense. Ala. Code § 13A-6-90.

Aggravated Stalking 1st Degree — Class B Felony

Committing stalking in violation of any court order or injunction — protective order, no-contact order, or restraining order. This is automatically elevated to a Class B Felony under Ala. Code § 13A-6-91 when a court order is violated, regardless of the underlying conduct.

Electronic Stalking 1st Degree — Class C Felony

Using electronic communication — phone, text, social media, or email — to stalk, harass, or intimidate a specific person under Ala. Code § 13A-6-95.

View the full text of the Alabama Stalking and Aggravated Stalking Statutes (Justia)

Additional Stalking Classifications

Aggravated Stalking 2nd Degree (§ 13A-6-91.1) is a Class C Felony for committing 2nd Degree stalking in violation of a court order. Electronic Stalking 2nd Degree (§ 13A-6-96) is a Class A Misdemeanor. Stalking charges are NOT listed under Aniah's Law — bail is available in virtually all stalking cases.

Ala. Code §§ 13A-6-90 · 13A-6-91 · 13A-6-95 · This page provides general legal information only. It is not legal advice. Consult a licensed Alabama attorney regarding your specific situation.

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).

Protective Order Violation Elevates The Charge

The single biggest factor in stalking cases is whether a protective or no-contact order was in place. Any stalking conduct while a court order is active is automatically "aggravated" — elevating the charge by at least one degree. This is why violating any no-contact order — even briefly — dramatically increases both the charge severity and bail.

Stalking + Domestic Violence

Stalking charges frequently accompany Domestic Violence charges, particularly when the defendant is a former intimate partner. Both charges carry conditions of no-contact with the victim. The 12-hour DV hold may apply depending on how the charges are filed. See Alabama Domestic Violence Bail Bonds for more.

What To Expect

How Much Is Bail For Stalking In Alabama?

Bail amounts are set by the presiding judge based on the specific charge, criminal history, and flight risk. The table below reflects typical bail ranges seen in Mobile County and across Alabama. Your actual amount may be higher or lower.

01Stalking 2nd Degree (Misd.)

Bail: $500 – $2,500

Your cost: $50 – $250

02Electronic Stalking 2nd (Misd.)

Bail: $1,000 – $3,000

Your cost: $100 – $300

How The Math Works

Alabama law (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10% of the total bail amount. That is the non-refundable fee paid to M&J Bail Bonds to post your bond. On a $5,000 bail, your cost is $500. On a $25,000 bail, your cost is $2,500. Alabama also adds state administrative fees on top — our agents will walk you through the exact total before anything is signed.

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.

Bail Eligibility

Who Qualifies For Bail?

Most Alabama stalking arrests are bailable once booking is complete. Stalking is not listed under Aniah's Law, so bail is available in virtually every case — though certain facts can raise the amount or require collateral.

Misdemeanor Stalking (2nd Degree)

Bail is almost always available same day, straight off the county bail schedule — a fast process.

  • Class B Misdemeanor
  • Bail typically $500–$2,500
  • Bondable within hours in most cases

Citations

Ala. Code § 13A-6-90.1 (Stalking 2nd Degree)

Stalking 1st Degree (Felony)

Bail is available in most cases. Judge sets bail, typically $5,000–$15,000.

  • Class C Felony
  • Bail typically $5,000–$15,000
  • Set by judge at arraignment

Citations

Ala. Code § 13A-6-90 (Stalking 1st Degree)

Aggravated Stalking (Violating Court Order)

Bail is available but elevated. Violation of an order is treated seriously by courts, resulting in higher bail.

  • Class B or C Felony
  • Bail typically $15,000–$50,000
  • Violation of protective order treated seriously

Citations

Ala. Code § 13A-6-91 (Aggravated Stalking 1st Degree); § 13A-6-91.1 (2nd Degree)

Stalking + DV Charges (Combined)

The DV 12-hour hold may apply, and both charges are addressed simultaneously. Call M&J — we navigate the combined situation.

  • DV 12-hour hold may apply
  • Both charges handled together
  • No-contact order almost always required

Citations

Handled alongside Alabama Domestic Violence statutes

Prior Stalking Convictions

Higher bail applies when a pattern of behavior is flagged. Prior stalking history escalates the bail amount.

  • Pattern-of-behavior flag raises bail
  • Prior convictions can affect degree charged
  • NOT listed under Aniah's Law — bail available

Citations

Ala. Code § 13A-6-90 (prior conviction elevates to 1st Degree)

Who Usually Qualifies

Stalking charges are not listed under Aniah's Law. Bail is available in virtually all stalking cases — from misdemeanor Stalking 2nd Degree through Class B Felony Aggravated Stalking 1st Degree.

Who Doesn't Qualify Automatically

Any stalking conduct while a protective or no-contact order is active is automatically elevated to aggravated stalking, and combined stalking + domestic violence charges may trigger Alabama's 12-hour DV hold before bail can be posted.

Step By Step

The Bail Process
On An Alabama Stalking Charge

A stalking arrest in Alabama follows a predictable sequence. Here is exactly what happens from booking to release, whether the charge is a misdemeanor or a felony.

1

Step 1Arrest & Booking

After a stalking arrest, the defendant is booked at the Mobile County Metro Jail (450 St. Emanuel Street). Misdemeanor stalking bail typically comes straight off the county bail schedule, while felony stalking bail is set by a judge at arraignment.

2

Step 2Call M&J Immediately

We locate the booking, confirm the exact stalking charge, and check whether Domestic Violence charges are also filed, which can trigger a 12-hour hold. You can also search using the Who's In Jail inmate search tool.

3

Step 3We Explain All Costs Upfront

10% premium (Ala. Code § 12-19-311) plus Alabama state fees. Collateral is rarely required on misdemeanor stalking but may be needed on aggravated stalking felony bonds.

4

Step 4Bond Posted

Our agent posts the bond directly at the Mobile County Metro Jail, authorizing the jail to begin processing the release.

5

Step 5Release — With No-Contact Order

Your loved one is almost always released with a no-contact order attached. Violating it results in immediate re-arrest. Check alacourt.gov for court date information.
