Request Summary (Agenda Caption):
title
Request that the County Judge execute an addendum to an agreement with AllPaid, Inc., dba GovPayNet to establish a new agreement for online bail bond payment services for the Sheriff’s Office for the period of November 13, 2025 - November 12, 2026 with two (2) one-year renewal options, in connection with an agreement approved by Commissioners Court on June 14, 2022 (210101).

Background and Discussion:
The Harris County Sheriff's Office was seeking a solution to accept credit card and debit card payments for cash bonds payments that will be available 24/7/365 via phone, online from anywhere, including notification of successful payment in real-time to HCSO and the consumer provided by AllPaid, Inc., dba GovPayNet.
Request for approval of a renewal option with AllPaid, Inc., dba GovPayNet for online bail bond payment services for the Sheriff’s Office for the period of June 14, 2025 - June 13, 2026 at no additional cost to the county (210101).
Expected Impact:
The Harris County Sheriff's Office receives approximately 3,000 cash bond payments from the community annually; to process this payment, the person must come to the Joint Processing Center in person to pay the bond. AllPaid provides a streamlined process of collecting the cash payment electronically from the community, eliminating the traveling downtown to make the payment and reducing the amount of foot traffic in our Harris County Sheriff's Office Facility. We are early after implementation, but this has been a step towards online-based solutions.
