What Is a Bail Bond?

Understanding Bail Bonds

A bail bond is the security required from Amigo Bail Bonds for the release of a defendant from custody. The bail bond serves as the guarantee for a defendant’s appearance in court. If the defendant fails to appear in court at all required hearings, Amigo Bail Bonds is obligated to pay the entire amount of bail set in the defendant’s case. For example, if the defendant’s bail bond is set at $5,000, that Defendant may be released upon Amigo Bail Bonds submitting a Bail Bond to the County of El Paso in the amount of $5,000.00.
