How bail connects to the Hemet Courthouse

People who post bail are released with a promise to appear at their scheduled dates. Cases tied to the Hemet Courthouse usually begin with an arraignment within a few court days of booking. Missing a date here can trigger a bench warrant and a new failure to appear charge, so the co-signer needs to know when and where to show up. We walk through those appearance obligations before anyone signs.
