When you arrive at the jail, you will need to fill out a number of forms. First, the application, then an indemnity agreement and a disclosure statement. These documents will completely outline your responsibilities as a cosigner, and your bondsman will be happy to answer any questions you might have regarding these documents. Please note that you must be 18 years of age to begin this process. This process usually takes less than half an hour, however, inmate release times vary depending on size of the jail and number of inmates being processed on any particular day.
Glossary of Bail Bond Terms:
Bail Bond Exoneration: When the court exonerates the bond, this releases the bail bond agent from responsibility of ensuring the defendant shows up in court. Colorado law requires the collateral to be returned in no more than ten working days from bond exoneration. Bail bonds are typically exonerated once the defendant has been sentenced, but can be done by the judge at any time should they feel the bond is no longer necessary to ensure the defendant’s appearance in court.
Bail Forfeiture: When a defendant does not show up in court, a bond judgment is entered. The bail agent then has 180 days to pay the full amount of the bond, or produce the defendant in court or return him/her to custody.
Collateral: Something of value either pledged as security or turned over to the bail bondsman to hold until the bond is exonerated. This may be a lien against real estate; a vehicle, jewelry, firearm, or cash. Vehicle titles are NOT collateral and have no real value.
Cosigner(s): The person(s) who signs a contract with the bail agent stating they will pay the expenses incurred by the bondsman if the defendant must be returned to court after failing to appear. The cosigner is also responsible for payment of the bond premium.
Defendant: The arrested person.
Failure to Appear (FTA): When a defendant does not appear in court. In most cases, the defendant has made a mistake and the bond can be reinstated with a simple fax. However, there are rare instances when the defendant must be tracked down and re-arrested. If you miss court, don’t panic. Just call me and we’ll work it out.
Premium: The fee paid to the bail bond agent for posting the bond and assuming responsibility for ensuring the defendant shows in court.
Recovery Agent: A “bounty hunter,” usually a third party who is hired by the bail agent to find and return the defendant to court. Overwhelmingly, these are people with military and/or police backgrounds. Private investigators, retired police or FBI agents, and consummate professionals are hired by High Speed Bail Bonds to ensure the highest level of service and professionalism.
