Generally, the bail bond agency pays the full amount of the bail if the defendant pays his/her share.

If the defendant doesn't show/skips out on the hearing, the court keeps the bail money.
How much is a bond for failure to appear? The cost of failing to appear can be as much as $10,000 if you were already out on bail before you failed to appear. Failing to appear can also add jail time, should you be convicted of the crimes you are charged with when you fail to appear.
If you paid for your own bail, once the charges are dropped you'll get the entire amount you paid back. If you contacted the Tennessee Bonding Company and arranged for a bail bond from us, you won't get any money back.
In Tennessee, the bail bond agency or bondsmen charges a non-refundable fee of 10% of the total amount of the bail itself. For example, a bail of $1,000 will require at least $100 from the defendant or a family member or friend that posts the fee on their behalf.
