A Better Bail Bond is adept in handling both misdemeanor and felony bonds, providing 24-hour bail services. Additionally, for those in need, residents of Houston can conveniently apply for an online bail bond downtown. Beyond his success as an entrepreneur, Hampton has continually shown a profound dedication to philanthropy, striving to ensure that underprivileged children in Houston can experience the joy of both giving and receiving during the holiday season.
Through their annual toy drives and various charitable initiatives, the Hampton family has significantly impacted the lives of numerous children, especially those in the waiting process for adoption. Last year, their initiatives made sure that many deserving young boys had their holiday wishes fulfilled, reinforcing the family's commitment to giving back to those in greatest need.
A Better Bail Bond, established in 1989 by Lee Hampton, has evolved into a trusted entity within Houston, offering reliable and proficient bail bond services anchored in integrity. With four locations across Houston and an additional office in Angleton, Texas, the business employs over 50 people, serving as not only a vital community resource but also a significant contributor to local employment opportunities.

Reflecting on the importance of receiving this award, Hampton expressed, “It is a profound honor to be recognized at the MLK Grand Parade. This award is not merely a personal milestone but a testament to the hard work of my entire team and the collaborative efforts of all who pursue equality, justice, and unity within our communities. The legacy of Dr. King continues to motivate us to strive for a brighter and more inclusive future. Let us advance his vision with intention and fervor.”
This prestigious recognition is granted annually to exceptional individuals in business, education, and community service who exhibit extraordinary leadership and a commitment to societal improvement in commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday.
First recognized as a federal holiday in 1986, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day serves as a reminder of Dr. King's steadfast commitment to justice, equality, and nonviolent activism. More than just a holiday, it calls upon individuals and organizations nationwide to participate in meaningful community service. The day honors Dr. King's lasting influence, encouraging future generations to persevere in his mission of unity and progress. In Houston, the annual MLK Day Parade, initiated by Charles Stamps in 1995, stands as one of the largest and most vibrant celebrations across the country, uniting a diverse array of communities to pay tribute to King's vision of hope and transformation.
