- A bail bondsman is a person who provides bail bonds for people charged with crimes and who do not have the money necessary to post the entire bail with the court.
Ways to Post Bond in Lexington, NC?
- Written Promise to Appear: This is not really a bond at all, and it means exactly what it sounds like: the defendant is free to leave custody on their written promise to show up on their court date.
- Unsecured Bond: the magistrate sets a monetary bond but the defendant is not required to actually pay that money in order to be released from jail. However, if they fail to appear for a required court date then they would have a judgment against them for that amount of money and, if they are later caught, they would have to pay that as well as a new, higher bond in order to get back out of jail.
- Secured Bond: a monetary bond that can be satisfied by paying cash in that amount, hiring a bonding company, or using some sort of acceptable collateral such as real property. This is probably the most common type of bond.
- Cash Bond: a monetary bond that can only be paid using United States currency.
What Happens if I miss court while on bond?
- You can hire an attorney and have them strike the OFA (order for arrest) and clear out the Bond Forfeiture which will get you a new court date.
- The defendant can turn themselves in and we can post bond for them again if the defendant handled the situation in a timely manner.
- If either two options don’t work for the defendant, our Fugitive Recovery can assist them back to the Davidson County Jail.

How do Bail Bonds Work when using a bondsman?
Most people do not have the resources to pay the entire amount owed and get out of jail, so for them, there are a couple of options. First, they can hire a bail bondsman. A bonding company will sign a contract with the Indemnitor (co-signer) where they agree to be responsible for the entire bond in exchange for payment of a fee and/or other collateral. The bonding fee is capped at 15% of the total bond amount but can often be lower than that.
