“Hi, this is Ray from bailbondbidsnow.com. I'm going to discuss something that's a little tenuous and not necessarily a fun topic but what if somebody's already on Bond and they are arrested on new charges or a new case? New charges in the sense that it's the same case but new charges are added. For example, it could be for domestic violence and now they're also adding a terroristic threat charge. Likewise there is a new case and it can be based on the same facts but unfortunately it's now an entirely new case - a new cause number in court. So two different things. Now that first one where they add a charge - the prosecutor or the court can say that the current bond is “insufficient” and that means the person that's out on bond will basically be re-arrested and that judge will have to issue another Bond and they'll have to “satisfy” - AKA - pay that bond in order to get out. Now if a new case is brought forth just like we discussed then basically likewise it's a brand new Bond - a new Bond entirely just from the very beginning and the Defendant will have to be arrested and taken to the municipal judge or the justice of the peace Judge and then from there the normal bond process carries forward. Now it's not common that prosecutors do this but they do at times and so if you're concerned about this I would highly suggest that whenever you're talking to a bondsman that you work this out in an agreement that if there's a news charge it's based on the same case or a new case based on the same facts that they honor the prior Bond and they do another bond without additional cost or if there are going to be additional costs that it would be a set amount or a lower amount. Or that the use of additional collateral is not going to be needed again. This is not the most common thing that occurs but over my years it has occurred whenever prosecutors think that there's a serious charge such as violence towards a child and then they'll basically bring in a new charge on the same thing but just a different type of charge in order to try to rearrest that person under the game that it's a separate factual basis even though it's really not. Once again it doesn't always happen - it's more in the serious cases but if there's that concern talk to your bondsman to try to work it out in advance in case that does happen. All right hope this helps guys.”
