The most common way to reinstate a bond is to request your bail agency to re-assume the liability and file a 1305(c)(4) penal code motion. If you complied with all the conditions of your bail agency then they are required by law to reinstate your bond or refund the premiums paid. The bail agency also can't use the excuse that you haven't paid them the premium for not reinstating the bond.
If you posted your own money or surety with the court, you should receive it at the the conclusion of your case, provided that you showed up at every court hearing and never skipped or had to be tracked down and arrested on a bench warrant.
On the other hand, if you used the services of a bailbondsman, as his fee he keeps the the money you paid him to front your bond money, and you will not get that back.
Actually, if you've already been tried and sentenced, AND you made all the court appearances that you were supposed to, you (or whoever posted your bond) should have been able to get their bond money back right after you were sent to jail or prison to begin your sentence.
EXCEPT: If you used the services of a bailbondsman, you will NOT get back the fee that he charged for posting your bond for you. That is HIS profit for taking the risk on you, and is not refundable.
Ask the court in question what to and do it.
Petition the court for a bond reduction hearing. Once the hearing is set, be prepared to present a case outlining why a reduced bail bond amount is appropriate.
The bailbond is EXONERATED.

Bail or a Bond to appear
Bail is a monetary promise to appear, if you fail to appear then the money is surrendered to the court.
It's called a bail. As if someone where to ''bail'' you out.
Contact a family member, friend, or bail bondsman who can front enough money to effect your release.
You kiss your money goodbye. You may be able to recover all or a portion of it if you or the bail bondsman is able to locate the fugitive and return them to jail.
They will give you time served for the amount of time you spent before your hearing. So whatever time you were sentenced minus your time served. P.S If you have more than 6mos you can try to parole out, but you have to file for it asap.
False, courts issue bail to force appearance for the later court dates. If a defendant does not appear, they forfeit their bail percentage; money talks. As to having time to prepare, courts don't care if you are in jail or not, as long as you are back on the required date(s).
The release from jail with the promise to return and appear for trial is known as a bail. Bail can also be free, based on the court's discretion through being released on one's own recognizance.
If no one raises your bail money you will remain in jail until your trial.
Bail is the amount of money it takes to make bond (to get out of jail before being convicted, or sometimes formally charged). Bail is typically 10% of what the court ordered bond is.
"A typical salary of a bail bondsman is about $55,000. They deal with people who are criminals and are bonded out of jail and put back in jail. This is not the type of job that everyone would like to do."
