What happens if the person I signed a bond for skips?

The bail bond company will first attempt to contact the defendant via phone and reschedule the court date. If this attempt fails, and there has been no contact with the defendant, the bonding company will obtain a copy of the arrest warrant. Search for the defendant and arrest them. They will then be surrendered to the appropriate court. This ensures that they will attend their future court appearances. Any expenses incurred for the apprehension of the defendant will be billed and collected from the signer of the bond.
