How you can post bail

If you must post bail, you must sign a bond promising to appear. The court can require one or more sureties. The court can accept cash or U.S. bonds or notes up to the bond’s face amount.

When your bail gets cleared or held

The court clears the bond if the case is dismissed or no formal case is filed, unless all parties agree otherwise or a short delay applies. A court can wait up to 30 days if a same or very similar charge from the same act or omission exists, or if you ask to stay on bail for a likely related charge. If a related charge is filed, the bail applies to that case and the bond moves to the right court. The new clerk must notify the surety and the bail agent within 10 days after getting the bond. A court may also handle or release the bond as all parties agree.

Your bail follows your case

One bail bond covers related matters in justice, municipal, or district court that come from the same charge. The bond stays in effect until the court clears it. If your case moves to another trial court, the bond moves to the new court’s clerk. The bond does not have to cover appeals. If bail is set on appeal, you must deposit it with the magistrate or the clerk of the court you appealed from.
