Thanks for your help. I think I need to let my mom know what is going on.

If she has permission from her bondsman to be out of state, and has supplied a verifiable address and contact number, then she should have no difficulties as long as she goes to her court appearances. If I have a skip in Tennessee, we normally proceed to putting the defendant in the NCIC.

If the charge is a misdemeanor, the bonding company generally takes out a felony failure to appear which adds another charge. Accesory to the fact are the preferred charges by bondsman for those aiding and abbetting a felon, because it is the easiest to prove.

Best case scenerio, if she has skipped court, she needs to call the company that bonded her out, and turn herself in. If she doesn't, the company will probably send bounty hunters after her to protect their interest.

They can always leave the state unless they're incarcerated. Nobody's going to throw up any roadblocks to keep them from going. But if you do not report for your court date then in all likelihood a default judgement will be entered against you. You say you "belive this is a civil case." Exactly what is the nature of the charges involved? If it is actually a criminal case and you fail to appear, a warrant could be issued for your arrest and you could be extradited back to the state of origin.
