Will I get my bail money back after court

It depends on how you posted the $1,300.

If you paid a bail bondsman:

• That money is a fee, not a deposit
• It is non-refundable, even if you go to court and the case is dismissed
• The bondsman keeps it for taking on the risk of your release

If you paid cash bail directly to the jail or court:

• The money is a deposit
• You will usually get it back after the case is finished, as long as you:
  • Show up to all court dates
  • Follow all court conditions
• The court may deduct fees, fines, or costs before returning the balance

Important for your situation (out of state):
Since you are from California, it is very important that you:

• Do not miss your court date
• Stay in contact with the court or an attorney

If you miss court, you can:

• Lose the entire bail amount
• Have a warrant issued

Bottom line

• Bondsman = you will not get the $1,300 back
• Cash paid to court = you likely will get most of it back after the case, if you show up

If you are unsure which one you used, check your receipt. That will tell you right away.
