FAQ for Bail Bonds in San Jose
How is the amount of a bail bond determined?
In most cases, bail is set according to a Pre-determined Bail Bonds Schedule that is created by judges in the local area. This list includes some of the most commonly charged crimes and the basic amount of bail charged for each offense. Individuals who have more than one offense may have to go through the arraignment process if the combination of their charges does not appear on the list.
Does a defendant have to see a judge for the bail to be set?
There are many cases in which the Pre-determined Bail Bonds Schedule can be used to set bail. If the crime is exceptionally severe (like murder) or the defendant has many different charges, they may have to go in front of a judge at a formal arraignment hearing. Arraignments are normally held within 72 hours of the time of the arrest.
Does the co-signer have rights?
As a co-signer, you have the right to say no. You do not have to put up bail unless you want to. A co-signer must be willing to guarantee that the defendant will comply with the court's demands once they are released from jail. If they don't, the co-signer runs the risk of losing their property or having to pay the bail bonds agency for the entire bond amount.
What does the court require of the defendant to be able to post bail?
The defendant must check in regularly with his or her bail bondsman, report any changes in address or employment, not leave the area, complete any classes required by the court and appear at any and all court scheduled court hearings.
What happens when the case closes?
Once the case has closed and a verdict has been rendered by the judge, the San Jose bail bond will be released. At that time, any collateral that was held by the bail bonds agency or the court will be released back to the co-signer, minus any fines, fees or restitution that must be paid.
What happens if the defendant skips bond?
If the defendant skips bond, the police will notify the bail bonds agency and give them an opportunity to find them and return them to jail. They will be given a certain amount of time to do so before the judge orders that the bail bond be forfeited. If the bail bond is forfeited, the co-signer becomes immediately responsible for paying back the entire amount.
Will I lose my property if the bail bond is forfeited?
The co-signer will only lose their property if the defendant is not returned to the jail in a timely fashion. Normally the judge will give the bail bonds agency a set amount of time to recover the fugitive. If they cannot produce them and return them to jail, the co-signer will be forced to pay the entire amount of the bail bond. If property was used as collateral, it will be sold and any amount left over will be returned to the co-signer.
