How and Why Can My Bond Get Revoked?

Judicial Bond Revocation

Judges have the authority to revoke a defendant’s bond if he or she does not abide by the conditions of release. Re-arrest is a good example. Once the judge learns about the incident, the judge will sometimes revoke bond.

Other reasons that a bond could bed revoked are a failure to check in or a failure to have an ignition interlock device installed on their car. In situations like these a judge may also revoke the defendant’s bond, or he or she may give the defendant a chance to make things right or let the defendant off with a warning.

The bond agent may surrender a defendant to the court if it is determined by the judge that the bonding company has good cause to do so.  This is solely at the judge’s discretion. Sometimes, the defendant violates a technical condition, like failure to check in and the judge will allow the bonding company to surrender the bond. Other times, especially with regard to co-signers, the person just gets a bad feeling about the situation and no longer wants to guarantee surety.  A co-signer will often need to come testify in court in order to surrender a bond for this reason
