Will your bail bondsman know if you travel to Puerto Rico?

Generally the conditions of your bond prohibits you from traveling out of jurisdiction without permission from the court. If you have a valid reason for leaving the state you can ask the court for permission, something that if granted, doesn't matter if your bail bondsman knows.

This being said, you're taking a big risk by leaving the state without the court's permission. If you are lucky you might be able to leave and return undetected-- but it's a BIG gamble! Your bail bondsman has more rights over to you than the police do: he can take you back to jail (Bond Surrender) FOR ANY REASON, even if you have not committed any wrong act for which he would do so! All your bail bondsman has to do is have a gut feeling that you are up to no good and he will snatch you up in an instant!

The risks of going out of town on bail is tremendous: an accident, an ER visit or hospitalization, an encounter with police there, a person from your hometown or even the destination can call your Bondman and cause trouble!
