What if the criminal charge is dismissed?
If the charges are dropped or dismissed, the bond will be exonerated. Neither the signer nor the bail bond company have a financial responsibility to the court any longer. Even though the charges have been dismissed, the signer still does not receive any of the premium back. In the case of collateral, it will be returned to the signer.
