About Beauregard Parish
Beauregard Parish is anchored by DeRidder as its parish seat, with Merryville as the parish's only other incorporated town. Named after Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard, the parish sits along the Texas border in Southwest Louisiana. Carter Bail Bonds is based in Lake Charles, about 49 miles west of DeRidder via I-10 and US-171 — distance never slows down how fast we can move once bail is set.
Whether an arrest happens in DeRidder or out toward Merryville, the booking process runs through the Beauregard Parish Jail in DeRidder, and felony cases are heard at the 36th Judicial District Court.

How Much Does Bail
Cost in Beauregard Parish?
Louisiana law (La. R.S. 22:1443) sets the bail bond premium at 12% of the total bail amount, or $120, whichever is greater — the same rate across every licensed bail bond company in the state, regardless of parish.
Bond Cost Examples
The bail amount itself depends entirely on the specific charge — visit the relevant charge page above for a realistic range, or call us directly with the court-set amount for an exact premium calculation. Payment plans are available. We offer flexible monthly payment plans and low-down financing so the defendant can get out now and pay over time.
Is the Premium Refundable?
- No — the 12% premium is non-refundable by Louisiana state law, regardless of case outcome.
- It is the service fee for posting the bond and taking on the financial risk of the defendant appearing in court.
