I am not an Alabama attorney. However, generally speaking, the purpose of a bond is to insure your appearance at court. If you comply with the conditions of your bond and appear at all court appearances, you should receive your bond money back once your case is concluded.

Chances are your bond will be applied to any fines and court costs that you will be assessed at your hearing (if you're found guilty or plead guilty). If you're found not guilty, full refund on cash bonds.

You would be entitled to the return of your bond upon final conclusion of the case.

You will be eligible to receive a reimbursement of the bond paid. Provided however that you owe no fines or Court Cost. If you do owe money to the court system, your bond will be applied to that debt.
