If a court date is missed we will exhaust all our means to protect your liability by doing our best to find the defendant and return them to custody. If they do jump bond your assistance will be greatly appreciated in locating the defendant. In most cases you know them and their habits much better than we do.
If we need to go to another State to retrieve them we will, as long as that particular State's laws allow Bail Agents to pursue bail jumpers there. Some States do not have Bail Bondsmen therefore they prohibit Bail Agents from other States from the recovery of bail jumpers.
We will work with you and for you as much as we possibly can. Also we will be happy to answer any questions you might have. If we don't have the answer, we will try to get it for you in a timely manner.
One cold hard fact is that if the person you signed for misses court and can not be located and surrendered back into custody before midnight on the 150th day then you are liable for the full amount of the original bond that you co-signed. On occasion we do accept regularly scheduled payments, but generally you will need to pay the Bond in full within 14 days.
