Texas Court vs. Bondsman Bond Conditions

Here is a quick explanation provided by BailBondBidsNow.com - explaining the difference between Texas Court vs. Bondsman Bond Conditions:

In Texas when someone makes Bond there are in truth two sets of conditions that need to be followed. One being from the Court and the other being from the Bondsman (assuming a Bondsman was used) which can be quickly described as follows:

Typical Court “Conditions of Release”: narcotic prohibitions; remain in county; maintain employment; undergo counseling; report to pretrial release office; etc. If these conditions are not followed when allege by a pretrial release officer, Police, pretrial services contractor, the prosecutor or other outside party then a Motion to Find Bond Insufficient can be filed. In short, this is a request to the Court contending that violations occurred and for the Court to find the current bond insufficient and thus placing the Defendant back into custody.

In sum, comply with Court conditions and evidence such compliance. It is difficult to challenge court personnel, court contractors or prosecutors when they contend violations occurred.

Typical Bondsman “Terms of Release”: comply with any payment terms; remain in county; routinely “report in” by phone, in person or app; attend all court dates; etc. Different Bondsmen require different levels/types of conditions therefore comparing options to find the least bothersome might be advisable. Even though there is no public record of compliance and allegation by a Bondsman of non-compliance permit that Bondsman to file a Motion Requesting Surety Withdraw. This is basically a request contending that the Defendant has not complied with the agreed requirements and therefore is asking the Court to permit them to get off the bond. This if granted would result in the Defendant being placed back into custody.

Likewise, comply with the Bondsman’s conditions and again evidence such compliance. Though a bit easier, it is better not to get in a situation where the Bondsman wants to be relieved from the surety bond.
