You can unless the court put a restriction on your travelling out of state. You need to read any documentation you received on your case.

Sure, unless it violates the condition of your bond.

It depends on the wording in the court order releasing you from the county jail.

Review your case paperwork or call the Court to confirm if a condition of your bond is to not leave the State while the case is pending . If it is, then you may have to file a Motion with the Judge asking for permission to leave the State. Whether the Judge actually grants your request depends on the "type" of trip you are taking. For example, if the trip is for work or a funeral or a wedding, maybe okay. However, if for a bachelor party in Vegas or a cruise to Cancun or something like that, probably not.

Yes, as long as you are back in time to appear at your court hearing.

You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license. A lawyer can appear in court without you present.

It depends. Typically, in Colorado if you are released on a PR bond, there are no travel restrictions while the case is ongoing. If you are released or posted a cash or surety bond, then you must ask the court for permission to travel out of state. Either way, you do not want to violate the terms of your release because that could land you right back in jail.

Only if the judge says you can.

Unless there is a specific article in your bail bond document I say that you can go out of State as long as you are in court for the hearing. If you were released without bail you certainly can go out of State.
