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.
At a bail hearing or sometimes at an earlier hearing (like an initial appearance), the judge will evaluate any predetermined bail amount and decide whether to change it. If so, the judge needs to figure out what amount is reasonable to make sure the defendant shows up for future court appearances.
Getting released on your own recognizance, or OR, means you don't have to post bail or a bond in order to be released from custody following an arrest.
An “own recognizance” release is when the court lets a defendant out of jail after an arrest without having to post bail, based solely on his or her promise to (a) return to court for future hearings and (b) comply with certain conditions of release.
A personal recognizance bond allows a defendant to be released from jail without posting bail or putting up a deposit. Also known as a PR bond, being released on your own recognizance means you promise to appear in court without additional bond conditions.
For minor crimes, a defendant may be summoned to court without the need for bail, or may be released on recognizance (promising to appear in court, with no bail required) following arraignment.
