FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the Procedure?
The defendant, the person that is in jail, is required to post bail before he is released from jail. A judge of the county of apprehension sets the amount of the bond. The bond is designed to guarantee the appearance of a defendant in court at the appointed time. Posting bail through a bonding company (AKA surety bond) is the most popular form of release.

This process involves a contractual undertaking between the governor of the state and a an admitted insurance company having adequate assets to satisfy the face value of the bond. The bonding company guarantees to the court that they will pay the bond forfeiture if a defendant fails to appear for court.

Prior to posting the bond a friend or relative of the defendant is contacted to serve as guarantor on. When posting bond through a bonding company a cosigner/indemnitor is required. The cosigner acts as financial guarantor obligating himself to ensure the defendant's appearance in court. If the defendant fails to appear in court the cosigner is obligated to turn the defendant into bonding company to be surrender. If the defendant has absconded the cosigner is obligated to remit the full amount of the bond to the bonding company, who in turns pays it to the courts.

The bonding company can be reasonably assured that the defendant released on a surety bond will appear for court by involving the friends and family of the defendant. Soon after a friend or a family member of the defendant has cosigned for the defendant the bail agent will sign the defendant's bond.

The defendant will be released after the bail agent posts the bond. However, release times vary from jail to jail. I t usually takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 8 hours to be released.
