Which of the following is NOT typically a reason for a bondsman to revoke a bond?

A bondsman typically revokes a bond based on specific actions or behaviors of the defendant that indicate a risk or violation of the terms of the bond agreement. One such action is when the defendant fails to appear in court, as this undermines the purpose of the bond, which is ensuring the defendant’s appearance at their scheduled court dates. Another valid reason for revocation is if the defendant is arrested again, which can heighten the risk for the bondsman and indicate that the defendant may not comply with the conditions of release.

On the other hand, if a defendant contacts the bondsman regularly, this behavior demonstrates a level of responsibility and communication that is viewed positively. Regular contact indicates a willingness to stay engaged with the bail process, which is contrary to the type of behavior that would lead to bond revocation. In contrast, changing one's address might be concerning if the bondsman is not notified, as it can impact where the defendant can be located, but it does not automatically warrant revocation like other actions might. Therefore, regular communication is not a valid reason for revoking a bond; rather, it suggests the defendant is fulfilling expectations.
