There can be exceptions, but most often, the court will customarily accept ten percent of the full amount as your bond to appear.

this is called a deposit bail. A bail bond is when you have someone else pay your bail.

What is the purpose of paying bail without using a bail bondsman?
When you use a bondsman to pay, say $10,000 bail, he usually charges 10%. You pay $1,000 to him. He then pays the court $10,000 (your bail). When you return to court and get convicted/released he gets his $10,000 back. He made $1,000. If you pay the $10,000 bond, you get the $10,000 back. Thus saving you the 10% (minus any court costs/fines). So if you can afford it, pay the bond yourself, it's cheaper.
How long can you be locked up for a felony probation before you get a court date?

Do you get your money back if the bail has been exonerated?
No, BAIL money is not returned, if you use a BAIL BONDSMAN, If you post the FULL BAIL AMOUNT with the clerk of the jail or court they will refund your money and proceedings are over and the defendant is finally sentenced. Paying a bondsman is usually ten percent of the bail money that the court sets. This is their fee that they charge in the event that you do not have the full amount of bail that the court sets. Bail is used to insure that someone will show up to their court hearing. If they show up and are there throughout the trial, at the end, whether they are guilty or innocent, the bail money is returned.

Yes, if a felon who is out on bail does not comply with the conditions of their release or fails to appear in court, the co-signers may still be held liable for the full bail amount. Co-signers are financially responsible for ensuring that the defendant complies with the terms of their release.
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.

Can a bail bondsman garnish your cosigners wages after you are serving your sentence?
If they receive a court order that allows it, yes. You, and the cosigner, made an agreement with a private company. The private company would pay your bail if you agreed to show up to all of your court dates AND pay them a certain percentage (usually 10-15%) of the bail. The private company is entitled to its payment.
