What happens to the bail bondsman when a person jumps bail?
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.
