Davidson County stretches from the High Point line down to Montgomery County and east into the Uwharrie foothills. We've posted bonds for families across all of it for more than fifteen years.
Davidson County is one of the largest counties in the Piedmont, geographically and by population. Arrests happen in every town and along every stretch of I-85 and US-52 that runs through it. Smith & Son posts bonds for residents throughout the county:
Just like Forsyth County, all law enforcement arrests in Davidson County funnel into a single facility: the Davidson County Detention Center in Lexington. Whether the arrest is made by the Davidson County Sheriff's Office, Lexington Police, Thomasville Police, the Highway Patrol, or any other agency operating in the county, the booking happens at the same place.
That makes the bail bond process predictable — once you've done it as many times as we have. We know the Davidson County detention staff, the magistrate's schedule, and what the bond paperwork looks like at every step.
The single intake facility for all of Davidson County. Bond posting is available 24 hours a day. After booking, defendants are held here until released on bond, posting cash bail, or being moved to long-term housing.
Once we've posted the bond, the jail begins its release process. From there, your loved one will have a court date set at the Davidson County Courthouse in Lexington. That's true even if the arrest happened in Thomasville or Denton — Davidson County has one main courthouse, and all matters get heard there.
Court dates are not optional. The single fastest way for a bond to go bad — and for a new warrant to be issued — is a missed court appearance. We track our clients' dates and remind them, but the legal obligation to appear belongs to the defendant.
The geography of Davidson County is wide. A late-night arrest in Denton, near the Montgomery County line, can feel a long way from any help. We make the drive. We've made it many times before. From our office in Winston-Salem, we can reach the Davidson County Detention Center quickly and start the posting process as soon as the paperwork is signed.
If a family member or friend is being held at the Davidson County Detention Center, the most important thing you can do is start the bond process as soon as possible. Each step in the chain — magistrate, booking, indemnity signing, bond posting, release processing — takes its own time. The sooner the chain starts, the sooner your loved one walks out.
