A bail bond, also called a surety bond, is a guarantee to the court that the person being released on the bail bond will make all of their required court appearances set by the court.

A cash only bond occurs when the judge will not allow you to be bailed out by a bail bond company. Usually these bonds are for speeding tickets, if you failed to pay unpaid fines and court costs.

As long as the defendant goes to court each and every time they are expected to you will not owe the bonding company any more money. That does not include fines and court costs incurred by the courts.

With our company the bond premium is a one time fee. Some companies charge a renewal fee. We never charge a renewal premium.

No matter where you are calling from, if you have a friend or family member in custody in a Missouri jail it is still possible to obtain a bail bond. The process involved simply requires faxing the contract to you and then us accepting a credit card and/or wire transfer for the bond premium.

Yes, you may pay the jail directly. For a defendant to be released on cash bail, you must post the full amount of the bail with the court in the form of cash or cashier’s check. It is important to check with the bail clerk to verify forms of payment the jail will accept for a cash bond because options and restrictions may vary from one court jurisdiction to another. For large bail amounts, you may expect that the source of funds will have to be verified to ensure that the money is coming from legal sources.

The most common types of bail releases are as follows:

• Cash bail
• Surety bond
• Property bonds
• Own recognizance
• Cite-out (Citation release)
