Surety bonds are designed to ensure a defendant will appear in court if they are released from jail on bond. Here’s how they work:

• When bail is set, a surety bond may be purchased at 10% of the total bail amount by a cosigner. This is a non-refundable fee necessary to secure bond.
• The bail bond company that backed the bond becomes responsible to ensure the defendant appears for all schedule court dates.
• If the defendant does not appear in court, the bail bond company may utilize a fugitive recovery agent to locate the defendant. The cosigner of the bond will be responsible for the fee for this service.
• If the defendant is unable to be located, the entire amount of bail will be required to be paid by the cosigner.
