1275 Bail Bonds
A Penal Code 1275.1 hold can prevent someone from being released from custody—even when bail has already been set and the family is prepared to post a bail bond.
The purpose of the hold is to allow the court to examine the money, property, collateral, security, or other assets being used to secure the defendant’s release. Before accepting bail, the judge must be satisfied that the proposed bail funds and collateral were not obtained through felony activity.
At 2 Trees Bail Bonds, we help families understand the bail process, identify potential source-of-funds issues, prepare the bail bond portion of the process, and coordinate with the defendant’s attorney when a court hearing may be necessary.
A 1275.1 hold does not automatically mean the funds are illegal. It means the lawful source may need to be documented and approved by the court before release can occur.
What Is a Penal Code 1275.1 Hold?
California Penal Code § 1275.1 addresses situations in which a court has reason to believe that some portion of the money, property, pledge, security, deposit, or indemnification offered for bail may have been obtained through felony activity.
When a PC 1275.1 hold is placed, the jail generally cannot release the defendant simply because someone is ready to post bail. The court must first determine whether the proposed source of bail is lawful.
This process is commonly called:
- A 1275 hold
- A PC 1275.1 hold
- A source-of-funds hold
- A felonious source-of-bail hold
- A 1275.1 bail hearing
The hold concerns the source of the bail funds or collateral. It is separate from the amount of bail and separate from the question of whether the defendant is guilty of the underlying criminal charges.

Can a Bail Bond Be Posted While the Hold Is Active?
Generally, a defendant cannot be released through a bail bond until the court has addressed the PC 1275.1 hold.
A bail company can begin reviewing the bond, communicating with the family, identifying the proposed indemnitors and discussing potential collateral. However, the bond should not be posted until the hold has been cleared or the court has issued an order permitting the defendant’s release.
At 2 Trees Bail Bonds, we do not want a family to spend money without understanding the situation. When a 1275.1 issue is identified, we can work alongside the defendant’s criminal defense attorney so the bail process is ready to move forward once the court authorizes release.
