Probably not, and here is why.
A failure to appear is exactly the kind of thing that makes a judge reluctant to reduce bond. The whole point of a bond is to give someone a financial reason to show up to court. When someone has already demonstrated they will not show up, the court's confidence in that arrangement drops significantly. The bond amount is essentially the judge's way of saying they need more assurance this time around.
At $1,025, the bond is relatively modest. That works in his favor in one sense because it is not an amount that requires a bondsman for most people, but it also means there is less argument to be made that it is unreasonably high. A judge hearing a reduction request on a failure to appear charge with a four-figure bond is unlikely to be sympathetic.
The path forward is getting an attorney to file a bond reduction motion and make the best case possible. That means showing the court he has community ties, a stable address, employment, and a legitimate reason for the original failure to appear. If the reason was compelling enough, a judge might listen. Without representation making that argument formally, the bond stays where it is.
On time served, if he cannot make bond and the case moves slowly, the time he sits will typically be credited against any eventual sentence. But the faster this gets resolved with legal help, the better the outcome is likely to be.
