What That Notice Is Telling You
Understanding Your Court Date Notice
When someone is released on bond, the court gives (or mails) a notice with the date, time, and division of the next required appearance. It’s easy for this paperwork to get lost in the chaos of an arrest, or for a mailed notice to go to an old address. If you’re not sure whether there’s an upcoming date, don’t guess, search it directly using the tool above, or call us and we can help you track it down.
What Happens If You Miss a Court Date in Colorado
Missing court is serious, but it’s not always the end of the world. Here’s what’s actually at stake, and what can be done about it.
What’s at Stake
- The judge can issue a bench warrant for arrest
- The bail bond can be forfeited, meaning the full bond amount is owed
- A felony charge missed on purpose can be charged as its own class 6 felony
- Future bail may come with stricter conditions, including a higher amount
The good news:
Acting fast changes the outcome. A bail bondsman can often file a Consent of Surety, a document asking the court to reinstate the bond instead of holding it against you permanently, if your loved one comes back into compliance quickly.
The 48-Hour Clock
How Fast Can a Bond Hearing Be Scheduled?
Colorado law requires a bond hearing within 48 hours of arrest, so decisions happen quickly on both ends. That’s exactly why calling us the moment something changes, whether it’s a missed date or a new arrest, matters. We move at the same speed the court does.
A Little Prep Goes a Long Way
Preparing for a Court Date
A little preparation goes a long way toward keeping a case moving smoothly.
01
Confirm the date, time, and division before you go. Court divisions can change, especially in busier counties like El Paso.
02
Bring valid photo ID and any paperwork related to the case.
03
Arrive early. Courthouse security lines can take time, especially on busy dockets.
04
Dress appropriately. Most courts expect clean, presentable clothing, nothing with offensive language or graphics.
05
Leave phones on silent and follow posted courtroom rules.
When to Call Your Bail Bondsman About a Court Date
You don’t need to wait until something goes wrong to call us. Reach out if:
- You're not sure when or where a court date is
- A court date is coming up and you’re worried about a conflict
- A court date was already missed
- You’ve received any paperwork you don’t understand
- You cosigned a bond and want to stay informed
We’d rather answer a question early than help clean up a bigger problem later.
How do I find out what my court date is in Colorado?
You can search Colorado’s statewide court docket using the case name or case number to look up an upcoming or past court date. If you don’t have a case number handy, the courthouse clerk’s office for the county where the arrest happened can also look it up for you over the phone. If you’re still coming up empty, call us. We search this information often and can usually help you track it down quickly.
What happens if you miss a court date in Colorado on a bail bond?
Missing court can trigger a bench warrant for arrest and put the bail bond at risk of forfeiture, meaning the full bond amount could become owed. It can also lead to a separate failure-to-appear charge, which in some cases is a class 6 felony. That said, none of this is necessarily permanent. Calling your bail bondsman right away gives you the best shot at fixing it before it escalates.
What is a bench warrant and how do I clear it?
A bench warrant is issued by a judge when someone misses a required court date, and it authorizes law enforcement to make an arrest. It doesn’t expire or go away on its own. Clearing it usually means either surrendering voluntarily with legal help, or having it addressed at a new court date. A bail bondsman or attorney can walk you through the fastest path forward for your specific situation.
Will I lose my bail bond money if I miss court?
It’s possible. Once a court date is missed, the bond can be forfeited, which means the full bail amount becomes owed to the court. This is exactly why speed matters. In many cases, a bail bondsman can file paperwork called a Consent of Surety, which asks the court to reinstate the bond rather than forfeit it, especially if the person comes back into compliance quickly.
What is a Consent of Surety in a Colorado bail bond case?
A Consent of Surety is a document your bail bondsman files with the court stating they’re still willing to stand behind the bond. It’s one of the main tools used to help get a bond reinstated after a missed court date, instead of losing the bond entirely. It’s not automatic, and timing matters, so this is usually the first thing we look into when a client calls us about a missed date.
How long after an arrest does someone get a bond hearing in Colorado?
Colorado law requires a bond hearing within 48 hours of arrest. That tight timeline is part of why it’s so important to call a bail bondsman as soon as possible after an arrest happens, since decisions and paperwork move fast on the court’s side too.
Can a court date be rescheduled if I know I'm going to miss it?
Sometimes, if you contact the court before the date actually passes. Depending on the circumstances, it may be possible to request a continuance. Once a date has already come and gone, the options get narrower and usually involve a bench warrant, so it’s always better to reach out ahead of time if there’s a real conflict.
Who should I call if I think I missed a court date?
Call your bail bondsman immediately, before doing anything else. We can often move faster than trying to figure it out alone, and we’ll help you understand exactly what’s happening and what steps come next, without judgment.
