By going to court and saying so, the sooner the better. Check in with the court clerk office.

Re: Forfeit Cash Bail

In order to exonerate a bail bond, a timely Motion to exonerate must be filed with the Court where the charges are pending, and the prosecuting attorneys must be notified of the Motion. The Motion must be properly supported by sworn testimony and applicable law.

Your attorney can explain further.

Re: Forfeit Cash Bail

I do not do criminal law, but if you are unsure how tofollow the advice from the two other attorneys who responded, call a local bail bond agency and see if they can give you some quick information. I assume you mean that the defendant posted his own cash and did not use a bail bondsman; if he did, contact that bail bondsman to handle the matter.
