Attending every scheduled court date is the most important obligation you have when released on bail.
Missing a court date results in an immediate bench warrant for your arrest. You can be taken into custody at any time.
Your bail is forfeited when you fail to appear. This means the bail bondsman loses the full bail amount and will seek recovery from you.
Your co-signer becomes financially liable for the full bail amount if you skip court.
Judges view failure to appear negatively, which can affect your case outcome. Always prioritize court attendance.
