If you are out on bail and get arrested the court can revoke your bail or increase it even if the charge is later dismissed. The bail bondsman should not have a problem if the case was dismissed.

If your new problem constitutes a technical violation, then your bond could be revoked.

The bondsman can always surrender you and the bond if they fell uncomfortable with continuing to post bail for you.

Bail bond company doesn't revoke your bond. The court does. So as long as there were no new charges, the bail will probably not be revoked.

Yes, for picking up a new charge. A bond company is like an insurance company. Any change in the status quo can result in a change in the bond. You not being arrested is irrelevant, it simply means you're good at evading police.

A bail bondsman can revoke his bond anytime and for any reason he wants to. If he thinks the bond is in jeopardy he can surrender you to the Court of the Court can issue a bench warrant. It seems harsh, but it is the law.

If your charges were dropped there would be no reason to lose your bond.

Bail bondsmen cannot revoke the bond, the judge can, for failure to appear. If the charges were dropped the case is over.

Your bond cannot be revoked unless you violate the conditions of your release.
