If you are out on bail and get arrested for a new offense, your original bail may be revoked, and the court can forfeit the bail money you posted. In many cases, the bail amount will not be refunded, as it serves to ensure your appearance in court for the new charges. Additionally, the new arrest may lead to a higher bail amount or different conditions for your release. Ultimately, the specific outcome can vary based on jurisdiction and the circumstances of the new arrest.
When someone is arrested, bail money can be paid in cash, through a bail bond company, or by using property as collateral. Bail is a set amount of money that allows the arrested person to be released from jail until their court date.
I am in the same situation. My fiance was arrested, but I had posted bail. Then probation violated him, so now he is incarcerated yet my bail has not been released for the previous arrest. The time he has served does not account towards anything because technically he is out on bail. How do I go about getting this bail revoked so the clock can start ticking ?
You can get bail only if you have been arrested and arraigned or the judge who issued the arrest warrant set bail when the warrant was issued (however, arrest is still a prerequisite for making bail).
Bail
If you breach bail, you can be arrested and brought back to court. Your bail may be revoked, and you may have to stay in custody until your trial. Additionally, breaching bail can lead to more severe consequences and may affect your credibility with the court.
After being bailed out, there is a court date given, and you have to appear in court to answer the charges. The case continues from there in the same fashion as if you were still in custody. For further informatoin, please see the related link below.
An American bail bond is the act of paying a jail a certain amount of money to release someone who has been arrested. The condition is that if any court dates are needed the bail bondsman will find the person who was arrested if they skip court. There is also a bail bonds company from Longview, Texas called American Bail Bonds (although this question specifically asks about American bail bond and not American Bail Bonds).
Contact the arresting agency to find out the exact amount of bail (Police department's generally don't make change so bring the exact amount). Respond to the department. You will fill out paperwork showing ownership of the bail money, and that the owner of such money will forfeit it if the arrested subject does not show up for court. Once the bail is accepted the subject will be released pending a court hearing.
Your bail will be revoked and you'll be sent to jail to await action on the offense you were out on bail on. Then - you'll be charged with the NEW offenses.
