A missed court date can create a warrant, bond forfeiture risk, and additional stress. The worst move is ignoring it.
Call Immediately
If someone missed court while out on bond, contact the bondsman right away. Timing matters.
Do Not Guess
Every case is different. The next step may depend on the court, parish, reason for missing court, and whether a warrant has issued.
Keep Communication Open
A cosigner or indemnitor should keep A-1 updated if the defendant moves, changes phone numbers, or has trouble getting to court.
