6.
The court usually exonerates (releases) the bond when one of four things happens: the charges are dropped, the case is dismissed, the defendant has been sentenced or the defendant is returned to custody. As soon as the Clerk of Court discharges the bond any collateral used to secure the bail bond will be returned.
By involving family, friends, and possible collateral, the bail bond company can be reasonably assured that an individual released on bail bond will appear at their appointed court date. With this in mind, always understand your responsibility before you agree to sign on someone else’s behalf. If the person fails to appear, the bail bond company will expect you to know where the defendant can be found and assist in their return to court.
Collateral is something used to secure the entire amount of the bond if the defendant does not appear in court. Types of collateral include: houses, land, cars, cash, credit cards, boats, or anything that is equal to or more than the amount of the bond. You will get the collateral back once the person appears in court and the bond is exonerated.
