The bail bond company (bail bondsman) will have to pay the amount of the bond. Bail bond companies don't actually post the full amount of the bond with the court officials. Instead, they agree to pay the bond amount if the defendant "jumps" bond and does not appear for trial or other court hearings. Once the defendant is returned to the jurisdiction of the court, some or all of the money is refunded to the bail bond company. In some jurisdictions, the bail bond company is given a reasonable amount of time to apprehend the defendant before being required to pay the bond amount.
Added:
In Texas, If a bondsman has reason to suspect that the defendant is not following conditions of bond, he will often file an affidavit to go off the bond, thereby resulting in a warrant for the defendant's arrest, and reduced liability on the part of the bondsman.
I believe bond works differently in other states, however, because in other states bondsmen are known to actually facilitate arrests of their clients in order to get their money back.
Regardless, however, if a felony defendant leaves the state and fails to report as required, it WILL result in a warrant, and once that individual is arrested in the other state, he/she will likely be returned to the state that issued the warrant.

Do you get money back from bail bondsman?
No. When posting bail (bond) you pay a bondsman an amount negotiated usually 10% of the total bail amount. Example $50,000 bail, you pay the bondsman $5,000 then put up co-lateral worth $50,000 and the bondsman is the one to pay the State/Court the balance. If the person on bail forfeits (skips out) on the bail then the collateral becomes property of the bondsman. The original $5,000 is how the bondsman earns his living.
