What is a bail bond?

A bail bond is a payment of money to a court of law  by a defendant or their surety (the person or organization paying the bail) to help guarantee that the defendant will appear in court as scheduled. The term "to post bail" means the defendant or their representative has made the bail payment.

No. A Las Vegas bail bond can be posted 24-hours. Budget Bonds is available for help 24 hours, 7 days a week. Call (702) 333-3733 any time of day or night for assistance.

What happens if you "skip" or "jump" bail?

To "skip" or "jump" bail is a slang term that means that the defendant has failed to appear in court as scheduled and according to the terms of the bail bond agreement. When the defendant jumps bail, the court can revoke the bail bond (demanding full payment of the bail bond) and issue a warrant for the arrest of the defendant.
