C.R.S. 16-4-102-Right To Bail Before Conviction
Any person who is in custody, and for whom the court has not set bond and conditions of release pursuant to the applicable rule of criminal procedure, and who is not subject to the provisions of section 16-4-101(5), has the right to a hearing to determine bond and conditions of release. A person in custody may also request a hearing so that bond and conditions of release can be set. Upon receiving the request, the judge shall notify the district attorney immediately of the arrested person’s request, and the district attorney has the right to attend and advise the court of matters pertinent to the type of bond and conditions of release to be set. The judge shall also order the appropriate law enforcement agency having custody of the prisoner to bring him or her before the court forthwith, and the judge shall set bond and conditions of release if the offense for which the person was arrested is bailable. It is not a prerequisite to bail that criminal charge of any kind has been filed.
Once bond has been set you can call Dennis Blackwell Bail Bonds, we will work out the details of the bond to have your friend or loved on released. Once bond is posted at the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center your friend or loved one will be released in 2 to 6 hours.
Bond Conditions
All defendants must agree to meet certain requirements known as “conditions” or “bond conditions.” The most important of these is personal appearance at all court proceedings. Failure to attend hearings may result in an arrest warrant being issued and loss of the entire bond amount. In addition, “Failure to Appear” is a criminal offense that can be added to the defendant’s existing sentence and result in imprisonment of 6 months to 1 year as well as loss of eligibility for probation or suspended sentence. (’18-8-212, C.R.S.) Other standard conditions a defendant must agree to include staying in the state in which they were convicted while released on bail and acknowledging the existence of a mandatory restraining order that prohibits contact with the alleged victim and witnesses. Lastly, defendants are typically required to send immediate notification to the court if there is any change in residence or mailing address.
Appear At All Court Hearings
The most important condition of a bond is the defendant’s agreement to personally appear at each and every court proceeding. The defendant is responsible for knowing when and where those hearings will take place.
Failure To Appear As Required
If a defendant fails to appear in court a warrant for arrest may be issued, bond may be revoked. In addition, a completely new crime, known as “failure to appear” may be charged. Lastly, the entire bail bond may be forfeited and the valued property or amount of money deposited may be lost.
Missed Court Appearance
If you or someone you know has missed a court appearance, it is important to act quickly. If bond was posted by a bail bonding agent, contact them first, right away. The bail bonding agent may choose to arrange for “consent of surety,” which you can obtain from the county clerk. Upon receiving consent of surety from your bail bonding agent, the clerk may issue you a new court date. If you posted bond personally, then go to the county clerk immediately and try to make new arrangements for a new appearance date. Be aware that a warrant was probably issued for your arrest, and “Failure to Appear” may have been charged.

The Right To Release On Bail
For a majority of offenses, except murder and certain violent felonies, the charged party will be released from custody as soon as bail money or a bail asset is accepted by the court.
What Determines the Amount of My Bail
- What is the defendant’s criminal history?
- Is the defendant a flight risk?
- Does the defendant have important family obligations?
- Does the defendant have a strong connection with the community?
- Does the defendant pose a public safety risk?
We're Here When You Need Us
Depending on the situation, bail can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. The defendant, or their friends or family members, might not have funds readily on hand to pay the entire amount. In such cases, they can turn to a bail bond company, such as Dennis Blackwell Bail Bonds.
These agencies provide a promissory note to the court stating that they will pay the full bail amount should the defendant not appear for any of their scheduled hearings. In exchange for this service, the defendant, or their loved one, pays a small premium. In Colorado, the fee can be no more than 10%. This means that if a person’s bail is set at $20,000, the defendant would only have to pay $2,000 to get released from jail. Basically, a bond is a surety that the defendant will show up in court.
We’re here when you need us most, helping families in Colorado understand the bail bond process and take the next step toward getting a loved one released. At Dennis Blackwell Bail Bonds, we provide fast, reliable support when the full bail amount is more than you can pay upfront.
QUESTIONS? WE'VE got answers
COLORADO BAIL FAQs
Quick answers to the most common questions about bail in Colorado.
Q: What are your fees?
A:
By Colorado state law (C.R.S. § 10-2-707), commercial bail bond premiums are strictly regulated. The non-refundable premium fee is capped at a maximum of 15% of the total bail amount set by the judge, with a mandatory state minimum fee of $50.00.
While the standard premium rate for a standard surety bond is typically 10% to 15%, we offer flexible pricing incentives down to 5% exclusively for large bonds or qualified property-collateralized bonds. Contact our office directly for a transparent, exact quote based on your specific case.
Q: Do I need collateral?
A:
Most bonds are done with a signature only. Large bonds and high-risk bonds do require collateral in certain circumstances.
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A:
Yes. In certain situations, we offer flexible payment plans depending on the size of the bond, the defendant’s prior criminal history, the nature and severity of the charges, and other qualifying factors. However, our primary focus is providing competitive, discounted bond rates that often result in a lower overall cost than companies that heavily rely on payment plans. We work with each client individually to find the most affordable solution possible while providing fast, professional, and reliable service.
Q: What happens when you get arrested in Colorado Springs?
A:
Q: What Determines the Amount of My Bail?
A:
In Colorado, the specific amount of your bail is determined by a judge during a bond hearing, typically held within 48 hours of an arrest. Judges utilize a set of standardized legal criteria to evaluate the defendant’s profile and ensure community safety. The primary factors that influence the final bail amount include:
- Severity of the Alleged Offense: Felonies or violent crimes naturally command significantly higher bail amounts than minor misdemeanors or traffic infractions.
- Prior Criminal History: Repeat offenses, past convictions, or a history of failure to appear (FTA) in court will drastically elevate the required bond amount.
- Ties to the Local Community: Deep local roots, such as active employment, resident family members, or long-term property ownership in Colorado, indicate a lower flight risk.
- Public Safety Risk: The court assesses whether the defendant poses an immediate threat to victims, witnesses, or the general public if released.
Q: Some of the things that you’ll want to keep in mind:
A:
After you get arrested, you will have a bond or held without bond until you are advised in front of judge the following court day. The judge will determine the amount of your bail. There are a few things that the judge will consider when setting your bail. A judge will ask themselves a few questions when determining your bail, which includes:
- What is the defendant’s criminal history?
- Is the defendant a flight risk?
- Does the defendant have important family obligations?
- Does the defendant have a strong connection with the community?
- Does the defendant pose a public safety risk?
In addition to an amount of bond, the judge may impose conditions that you must follow. Some of these conditions could be travel restrictions, firearm restrictions, and no-contact orders. If you fail to abide by the rules that are given to you, you risk the chance of going back to jail.
Once bond has been set you can call Dennis Blackwell Bail Bonds, we will work out the details of the bond to have your friend or loved one released. Once bond is posted at the El Paso County Criminal Justice Center your friend or loved one will be released in 2 to 6 hours.
