When someone is arrested and charged with a crime, the court sets a monetary amount—known as bail—that must be paid for the defendant to remain out of jail while awaiting trial.

This is where a bail bondsman steps in. Instead of requiring the full bail amount upfront, a bail bondsman pays a percentage of the total to the court, assuming temporary legal custody of the defendant. This ensures the defendant’s appearance in court whenever required.

A bail bond is the payment made to the court by the bail bonding agency on behalf of the defendant. In return, the defendant owes the bonding agency the bail amount, plus a service fee for facilitating the process.

Why Use a Bail Bondsman?

• Reduces the upfront financial burden of posting bail.
• Ensures the defendant can stay out of jail while awaiting trial.
• Provides expert guidance through the legal and bail process.

Around The Clock Bail BondsThe payment process for bail bonds can vary depending on the amount set by the court.

• Low Bail Amounts: If the bail is relatively low, you may be eligible for a payment plan with the bonding agency that doesn’t require collateral.
• High Bail Amounts: When bail is set at a higher amount, collateral is often required. This collateral could include:
  • A lien on a house
  • Valuable items such as jewelry, stocks, bonds, or bank accounts
  • Credit cards or other assets of value
  Important Reminder

Your bail bond is the payment for the agency’s efforts to secure your release and ensure you remain out of jail while awaiting trial. Regardless of how your case is resolved, you are responsible for repaying the full amount to the bonding agency, plus any applicable fees.

If a defendant chooses to run, hide, or fails to appear when summoned, the court will issue a warrant for their arrest. The bail bonding agency will be notified of this development.

In this situation, your bail bondsman will become liable for the full amount of the bond to the court, unless the defendant can be located and returned to jail within a reasonable time frame.

What This Means for You

• Forfeiture of Bond: The bonding agency will have to pay the full bond amount.
• Responsibility for the Defendant: It’s crucial that the defendant adheres to all court dates and obligations to avoid these severe consequences.

If you have concerns or questions, it’s important to contact your bail bondsman immediately to discuss your options and responsibilities.

Violating the terms of your bail bond agreement can lead to your arrest, a return to jail, and the loss of your bond without a refund. You can and will be arrested if you:

• Fail to Make Payments: Do not pay the correct amounts to the bonding agency as outlined in your agreement.
• Change Your Address Without Notice: Move without informing your bail bondsman beforehand.
• Flee or Hide: Leave the state without permission or hide from authorities.
• Disobey Court Orders: Violate any condition set by the court.
• Lie or Withhold Information: Hide details about your failure to appear in court, past felony convictions, or any pending state or federal charges.
• Provide False Identification: Use an alias or provide inaccurate personal identification information.

Protect Yourself and Your Bond

Adhering to the terms of your bail bond is crucial for staying out of jail and maintaining your bond agreement. If you have any questions about your responsibilities or the terms of your agreement, reach out to your bail bondsman immediately.
