FAQ
Bond forfeiture means that the person loses the guarantee made by the bail bond company on their behalf. There are some circumstances in which the judge might excuse the accused for missing court and bail or bond can be reinstated.
A bail is forfeited when a defendant fails to appear, without sufficient excuse, for arraignment, trial, judgment, or any occasion prior to the pronouncement of judgment if the defendant's presence in court is legally required, or if the defendant fails to surrender in execution of the judgment after appeal.
How Can You Revoke a Bond in California? Let the bail bond company know that you wish to revoke the bail bond agreement. The bail bond agency will inform the courts of your intentions. Advice the courts on where they can find the defendants so that they can be arrested.
In California, once a bail bond is forfeited, the bail bonds agency and the co-signer are notified. They have a limited period, typically up to 180 days, to either bring the defendant to court or provide a valid reason for the defendant's absence.
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.
You only need to follow these steps: Let the bail bond company know that you wish to revoke the bail bond agreement. The bail bond agency will inform the courts of your intentions. Advice the courts on where they can find the defendants so that they can be arrested.
