You lose your money if they don't show up for court. New offense means new bail.

Bail is a promise that they will appear in court, not a guarantee they won't get into further trouble. If you feel that the additional problems would make the defendant a flight risk, talk to the Bail Agent. He/she can revoke the bail and you would be off the hook. If the bail was posted directly with the court and you're worried that the person won't appear on the charge you bailed them out on, let the court know you want the bail revoked. Otherwise, additional, unrelated charges have no effect on your obligation.

No,as long as they dont skip town on the bail for the charge you bailed them out of.But,you are taking a risk..,I wouldnt bail anyone out for their own actions.Sounds like you may have learned not to,good luck.

as long as it's not related to the offense you bailed him out for. That will be a whole other issue. So your bail is safe. Long as he goes to court.

More than likely..yes...as he was likely released on bail and conditions. One condition would likely be that he keep the peace and be of good behavoir.
You can attepmt to have the monies recovered in small claims court, however I doubt a repeat offender would honour a judgment.
