Oklahoma Re-Commitment of Defendant by Bondsman is a legal process in which a defendant who has been released on bond is returned to custody by a bondsman or his agent. This is done if the defendant fails to appear in court or violates the terms of the bond agreement. There are two types of re-commitment: voluntary and involuntary. In a voluntary re-commitment, the defendant agrees to return to custody in order to face the charges against him or her. In an involuntary re-commitment, the bondsman or his agent takes the defendant into custody without the defendant's consent. In either case, the defendant is returned to the court and must appear in court to address the charges.
