Cash versus surety payments
A deposit to a court and a commercial bail bond premium are different payments with different rules. Verify accepted methods with the specific court or company.
Important questions before arranging a bond
Ask for a receipt, the full fee and conditions for refunds or forfeiture. Beware payment requests through unverified accounts.
Information to have ready

- Next court date and the best way to reach you
Kansas release rules and local assistance
Actual eligibility is decided under the applicable order. Read K.S.A. 22-2802 for the Kansas framework, and check official Sedgwick County inmate records when that is the relevant jail. Visit our Wichita bond service page or Sedgwick County bail services for help.
Need to discuss paperwork? Call Air Capital Bail Bonds, (316) 755-5142. This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm procedures and fees directly before paying.
Financial questions to resolve before signing
Ask whether the payment is a refundable court deposit or a commercial surety premium, what the written agreement says about forfeiture, and whether anyone signing becomes responsible for additional amounts. A lower amount due immediately does not necessarily mean a lower total obligation. Review any installment schedule, collateral pledge, return conditions and consequences of missed court appearances.
Never send money based solely on a text message claiming that someone has been arrested. Confirm custody and the court order through official sources, verify the bail bond company’s telephone number independently, and keep copies of receipts and every signed document.
