§ 1106 Deposit for bail.

If you're allowed to post bail, you have another option besides paying a bail bond company. You can pay the full bail amount directly to the court in cash. Once you hand over that money, the law treats it the same as if you had posted a formal bail bond, and you must be released from jail.

This gives defendants a straightforward way to get out of custody while their case moves forward. Instead of dealing with a bail bondsman and paying a nonrefundable fee, you can pay the exact bail amount set by the court. If you show up to all your required court dates and follow the terms of your release, you can typically get this deposit back once the case is resolved.
