Q: In Texas are you able to revoke a bond as the co-signer
A:
When you sign a bail bond you are obligated to pay whatever it says in the contract that you sign with the bondsman. Every bond is made with a written agreement. If you are signing a bond agreement, the written terms of the agreement are your obligations. However, if the bondsman allows you, he can revoke the bond, but he or she may not do as you ask if you have not paid in full yet.
Another option is to try to get in front of the judge that issued or allowed the bond and ask to be removed from any obligation, but that wouldn't be allowed unless the defendant was there in court or otherwise in custody.
So I would advise to call the bondsman, if you have been paying or are paid in-full. He will be happy to revoke the bond, if he has made his or her money. If not, you might have a problem. If that happens, your next move would be to let the bondsman know that the defendant has been or is now violating any of the conditions of the bond. They are written in the agreement.
