The following list of Bail Agents are members of the Tennessee Association of Professional Bail Agents (TAPBA).  The list is sorted in alphabetical order of members last names, then first names, with the members affiliate bond company shown in the right column.

Members of TAPBA exchange information about many of the problems associated with everyday business and address current issues related to the Tennessee bail industry. Consequently, our members can share in the collective knowledge of the organization - by finding out from each other solutions which worked well in similar situations and also learning what common mistakes or pitfalls to avoid, without having to personally make the mistakes.

Through our lobbying team, TAPBA presents the collective concerns of bail bond agents in a single voice to the Tennessee state legislature. Although it may be easy for our elected officials to disregard the needs and concerns of one individual, it becomes very difficult and foolhardy for them to disregard the needs and concerns of a large organization representing the collective conscious of an entire business industry.

TAPBA's political action committee, Volunteer PAC, supports the campaigns of candidates who are aware of the valuable function the bail bond industry serves in the state's justice system. Volunteer PAC contributions open doors of opportunity to educate legislators and their staffs about the issues and challenges you face in your business, including the threat of pretrial release. Additionally, our legal staff has worked with members in successfully filing suit to uphold the rights of the private bail agent in Tennessee.

TAPBA has a full-time office in Gallatin, Tennessee, which provides continuing education to state bail agents and bail enforcement agents, providing five (5) seminars annually. TAPBA's Board of Directors is dedicated to moving our organization in a positive direction - and especially dedicated to promoting the interests of all bail agents in Tennessee. This voluntary Board of Directors depend on your ideas, your input, your participation, and your membership to continue the fight against threats to the bail industry.

Please get involved by attending our meetings. You will learn something and have a good time. You will have an opportunity to get to know agents from all parts of Tennessee. Give us the benefit of your knowledge and experience. Feel free to contact any TAPBA Officer or Director or our education coordinator with suggestions, requests or concerns. TAPBA is a presence in the twenty-first century in Tennessee, and we want you to be a part of us!

The TAPBA Annual Membership fees are $100.00 per company owner, $25.00 for each agent of a company member, and $50.00 for each Associate or Affiliate Member.

It has come to our attention that some agents have assumed that the registration fee for a continuing education class includes the TAPBA membership fees.  Their assumption is not correct.  The fees charged for attending continuing education classes have nothing to do with TAPBA membership fees, nor with an agent’s membership or lack of membership in the TAPBA. The Tennessee Code rules governing this subject may be viewed at LexisNexis, Statute 40-11-404 (a) (b) (c).
