If the judge issued a warrant for a house outside the judges county and the case is dismissed, the county the house is located in can't pick up the case from that warrant. Have I understand that correctly?

Does the court have to remove the bond associated with that charge or can they apply it to two lesser misdemeanor charges that had a bond of $250 a piece, and call it a” blanketbond” ?
