What is a bond and why must I post it?

A bond is posted as an assurance that you will appear in court. If you are required to post bond, your money will be returned to you or applied to your fines and costs at sentencing. If you fail to appear after posting bond, your bond will be forfeited. Only the judge has the authority to reinstate a forfeited bond.
