FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Bail?

Bail constitutes an agreement between you, the defendant, and the court. As the defendant, you agree to post a specific amount of money in exchange for the assurance that you’ll return to court for your scheduled court date. Upon appearing in court as scheduled, and as stated in the bail bond agreement, you get your money back.

How Bail Bonds Work?

Bail bonds are similar to personal loans. After putting down a small percentage for the total amount, a bail bondsman or agent, gives you the rest of the money needed for your bail. Like a loan officer, this bail bondsman or agent is similar to the lender of a personal loan.

Are there different bail bonds?  

Yes.  Here are a few:

Bail Bond:  You are required to put down a small percentage of the total bond amount.  A bail bondsman puts up the rest of the money needed for your bail.

Property Bond: If you own property (i.e., a house), the bail bondsman may be able to use this as collateral instead of putting down cash. With this type of bond the court places a lien on your property and can sell it if you do not appear for your court date(s).

Release on Own Recognizance: Sometimes a judge will agree to release you without setting any bail amount. This normally happens only if you are accused of a low level crime and the judge doesn’t consider you to be a flight risk.

Cite Out: This would be if you are caught doing something illegal and the officer then decides to issue a citation to appear in court instead of booking you into jail.

What are Co-Signer responsibilities?

It is the responsibility of the cosigner to see the premium is paid. Any expenses incurred in the transaction of a bail bond, such as long distance calls, travel, or posting fees are to be paid by the indemnitor to the bail agent. Most additional expense we incur. It is the responsibility of the defendant or indemnitor to supply accurate information.

What happens if I am a Co-Signer of a defendant who does not appear in court? 

The defendant is obligated by the bail agreement to appear at each and every court appearance required by the court. The failure to do so will result in the forfeiture of the bond. Failure to act immediately can add up expense, such as tracing fees, court costs, and attorney fees if legal action is taken. The indemnitor is liable.

As a Co-Signer of a defendant, when am I no longer liable for the bond?

You are no longer liable for the defendant’s bond when he/she has completed all of their court appearances, and when premiums have been paid. It is best to contact the agent when the court, for the fast return of any collateral pledged, exonerates the bond and to confirm that the bond is exonerated. In the event of forfeiture, the indemnitor is liable until the full amount of the bail has been paid, plus any expense incurred or until the court exonerates the bond. The bond then becomes void.

What Tennessee Charges are Eligible for Bail?

Alcohol-Related Offenses.  In many cases you will be granted bail.

Drug Charges.  In most cases, bail is granted for people who have been charged with drug-related offenses.

Assault Charges.  It depends on when many factors.  Like was the assault in the heat of the moment, you have a history of violent behavior, was anyone hurt during the altercation, etc.

Murder Charges.  In some cases granting bail may be based on the circumstances surrounding the murder charges, your history, and your connection to the community, a judge will determine if you’re a good candidate for bail and how much that bail should be.
