FAQ
In California, a bail bondsman typically has six months to find and return the defendant. If the defendant is not found in the timeframe, you will be responsible for paying not only the full amount of the bond, but also any additional expenses and any unpaid premiums.
If the jail is busy, the bail bonds process typically takes anywhere between 3 and 24 hours. Jail release is fully dependent upon the jail in which the accused is being held. Busier locations, such as the Tarrant County Jail can take a longer amount of time simply because of the time required to process the paperwork.
Advantages of Using Online Bail Bond Services Speed: Online services are often quicker because the paperwork can be submitted electronically. This can speed up the process of securing the defendant's release. 24/7 Availability: Online services allow you to start the process anytime, day or night.

The decision to post bail for someone should not be taken lightly. Financially, you risk losing the bail amount or collateral if the defendant fails to appear in court. Legally, the defendant's absence can lead to arrest warrants and additional charges, complicating their legal situation further.
