There are a few states that have no commercial bail some of them are; Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, Wisconsin. Massachusetts does allow commercial bail, however new agent licensing is difficult. You will need to check with your states department of insurance to confirm.
Other states like Texas and Georgia have different bail statutes, sometimes per each county, while some only accept professional bail agents.
