What Is Bail – What You Need To Know

Alameda Bail Bonds Explains How Bail Bonds Work

 Tulsa Bail Bondsman Angel Alameda explains what bail is. A bail bond is a promissory note (contractual agreement) between a bondsman and the district court. The Cosigner is guaranteeing to the Bondsman that a defendant will appear on all court dates

If a bond amount is large, the bondsman can use more than one cosigner. The Cosigners will sign and be financially responsible for the defendant.  If the defendant fails to appear in court, the judge will issue a bench warrant for his or her arrest.  The bondsman will contact the co-signer to notify them and find a way to resolve the matter.

 Please ensure that you know the person for whom you are cosigning. If you do not know the person, please do not cosign for them. Please see our frequently asked question page for more information relating how bail works.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE DEFENDANT MISSED COURT ?

Typically, Alameda Bail Bonds in Tulsa will notify the cosigner to inform them that they must locate the defendant and rectify the warrant. In some instances, the Judge may allow a re-endorsement of the bond. Re-endorsement occurs when the bondsman and the defendant contact the defendant’s attorney. Then they all must appear before the Judge to have the warrant removed and a new court date set.

A judge can decide that no re-endorsement will be permitted, so timing is crucial. This will only be done if the cosigner agrees to assume responsibility for the bond. Please be aware that this is not part of the original rate. Please take your time to read all contracts with any bail agency, and if you follow these tips, congratulations! You now know what bail is.
