What is a Failure To Appear Bail Bond?
A Failure to Appear (FTA) Bail Bond in Ohio is issued when a defendant misses a scheduled court appearance, ensuring they return to court or the court receives financial compensation. Failing to appear often results in a bench warrant, additional charges, and potentially a higher bond amount. For traffic-related cases, an FTA can trigger a driver’s license suspension by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV), which remains in effect until the defendant resolves the matter by appearing in court, paying fines, and submitting a compliance letter to the BMV with a reinstatement fee. Working with a bail bondsman can expedite the process and help address legal obligations promptly.
How to Obtain a Failure to Appear (FTA) Bail Bond in Ohio?
To obtain an FTA Bail Bond in Ohio, the defendant or their representative contacts a licensed bail bondsman after a bench warrant is issued for missing court. The bondsman charges a non-refundable fee, usually a percentage of the bond amount, and may require collateral. Once the bond is posted, the warrant is lifted, and the defendant must attend all future court dates. For traffic cases, resolving the FTA may involve paying fines and reinstating a suspended driver’s license through the Ohio BMV by submitting a compliance letter and paying fees. Acting quickly helps minimize further consequences.
