FAQ

If you were arrested in California, this state allows the reinstatement of bail bonds. There are many reasons you may violate the terms of your initial agreement – some of which can be out of your control, like a sudden sickness.

If you start communication with both your bondsman and the court as soon as possible, your court date will, in most cases, be reset, and the forfeiture of your bond will be recalled. However, if you do not get back in touch with your bondsman or the courts, the warrant for your arrest will remain active.

(4)(a) When a bond is forfeited, the clerk shall transmit the bond and any affidavits to the clerk of the circuit court in which the bond and affidavits are filed. The clerk of the circuit court shall record the forfeiture in the deed or official records book.
