The whole thing sounds confusion. I think the best thing right now would be to call the TABC in Austin, explain them the situation and confusion, and ask for further instructions. He should be honest in this matter right now because they have all his information. They said him to contact a bail bond company and to surrender. From what I understand, they mean he should surrender to the police himself and then get a bail from a bail bond company. But I am not sure on this and I pray and hope that this be not the case. So, it would be a wise idea to call and check with the TABC. Also, have you tried contacting the DWI or TABC attorneys or criminal attorneys as they will have better ideas in cases like these than the regular attorneys.

Good Luck and God Be with your friend.
