HS 11352 makes it a felony to sell or transport a controlled substance, and HS 11379.6 makes it a felony to manufacture drugs. Because the bail amounts are large, these are among the cases where a no-collateral bond and a payment plan matter most.
What the charge means for bail
Bail on a sales or trafficking charge follows the county schedule and climbs with the amount recovered, packaging, scales, weapons, and large sums of cash — the same factors prosecutors point to as evidence of intent to distribute. We can write large bonds, in many cases without collateral, for qualifying cosigners.
The PC 1275 hold
Cases involving alleged drug sales frequently come with a PC 1275 hold, meaning the court wants proof that the bail money is from a legitimate source. We help you assemble the documentation — bank statements, tax returns, proof of income — that lifts the hold so the bond can be posted.
Watch the rate
California Insurance Code § 1800 caps the bail premium at 10% of the face amount of the bond — that’s the legal ceiling, not the minimum. Anything above 10% is illegal. Walk away from any bondsman who quotes above the cap, demands wired money before paperwork is signed, has no California Department of Insurance license number visible, or pressures you to decide in under a minute. A real bondsman walks the family through the math.
