ABOUT Open Court Bonds
What Is an
Open Court Bond?
An open court bond is approved by a judge during a court hearing, often when a defendant appears voluntarily or is required to appear without prior arrest. The judge can set release conditions, including posting a bond, without the defendant going through the jail booking process.
This allows the person to leave the courtroom instead of being taken into custody. Open court bonds are common when someone addresses pending charges or a warrant directly, allowing for immediate release and avoiding the arrest process.
