Charges That May Need FTA Bail Bonds in California
Any criminal charge can result in a missed court date. These are the six most common charge types where people in California need an FTA bail bond.
DUI Offenses
DUI charges carry strict court appearance rules. Many people miss their hearing out of fear or confusion. If re-arrested on a bench warrant, an FTA bail bond can secure your release and get you back home fast.
Felony Charges
Missing court on a felony charge is treated as bail jumping and adds a second felony on top of the original. FTA bail bonds in these cases demand higher bail and may require collateral from a cosigner.
Drug Possession
Drug possession charges often lead to missed court dates. Substance use and fear disrupt attendance. An FTA bail bond gets your loved one out after re-arrest on a bench warrant so they can face the case properly.
Domestic Violance
Domestic violence charges carry real emotional weight. Fear pushes many defendants to miss their court date. An FTA bail bond gets you released so your attorney can work on building the strongest defense possible.
Misdemeanor Charges
Misdemeanor charges may seem small, but missing court still triggers a bench warrant. An FTA bail bond after a misdemeanor re-arrest gets you out fast so your life and work can move forward.
Probation Violations
Failing to appear while on probation puts you at risk of full revocation. FTA bail bonds help those facing probation violation charges get released quickly before the judge makes a ruling that affects your freedom.

FAQs About FTA Bail Bonds
What does FTA mean in the bail bond process?
FTA stands for Failure to Appear. It means a defendant did not show up for a required court date while released on bail. Once that happens, the judge issues a bench warrant, the original bail is forfeited, and a new, higher bail amount is set for release.
Can I still get a bail bond after a failure to appear?
Yes. An FTA bail bond is issued specifically for this situation. A bondsman like JR’s Bail Bonds posts the new bail amount set by the judge after the missed court date. The process is similar to the original bail, but the amount is usually higher.
How much will the new bail cost after a failure to appear?
The new bail amount is set by the judge and is almost always higher than the original. The bail bond premium is 10% of that new amount. For example, if the judge sets bail at $30,000, you pay a $3,000 non-refundable premium to JR’s Bail Bonds.
How long does a bench warrant stay active in California?
A bench warrant does not expire. It stays active until the defendant appears before the court or is arrested. There is no deadline that makes it go away. The only way to clear it is to take action, either by turning yourself in or working with a bondsman and attorney.
Will a failure to appear show up on a background check?
Yes. An active bench warrant and FTA charge both appear in public record searches. This can affect job applications, housing applications, and professional licenses. Clearing the warrant and resolving the case as fast as possible protects your record and your future.
Do I need collateral for an FTA bail bond?
In some cases, yes. FTA bail amounts are higher than original bail amounts, and for larger bonds the bondsman may require collateral such as a vehicle, property, or other assets. A cosigner or indemnitor may also be needed to guarantee the bond.
What is the difference between a bench warrant and an arrest warrant?
A bench warrant is issued by a judge when you miss a court date. It authorizes police to detain you if they encounter you. An arrest warrant is issued when police are actively looking for you. Both result in detention, but a bench warrant follows you passively everywhere you go.
What happens if I miss court a second time while out on FTA bail?
A second failure to appear is treated much more seriously. The judge is very likely to revoke bail entirely and hold you in custody until trial with no option for release. Acting responsibly and appearing on every court date after your FTA bail bond is posted is critical.
