A Penal Code 1275 (PC 1275) bail hold is placed when law enforcement or the court believes that bail money may come from felonious activity. Until the lawful source of funds is proven, the defendant cannot be released on bail. At King Stahlman Bail Bonds, our team works with families, attorneys, and the court to document legitimate sources so the hold can be lifted and bail can be posted.

What Is a PC 1275 Bail Hold?

A PC 1275 hold prevents release until the court is satisfied that the premium and bail funds are legitimate. Holds may be requested by investigators, prosecutors, or the court based on case facts. To clear a hold, you typically must provide verifiable proof of where the money comes from.

Important: We do not provide legal advice. We coordinate documentation and timing with your attorney so the court can review and, when appropriate, lift the hold.

Common Documentation to Clear a 1275 Hold

Required proof varies by case and county, but examples can include:

• Recent pay stubs, W-2s, or 1099s
• Bank statements showing accumulated, legitimate funds
• Proof of business income (invoices, P&L, tax returns)
• Sale documents (vehicle, property) with deposit/escrow records
• Gift letters with the donor’s proof of funds
• Home equity or refinance statements

Our agents help organize a clear packet so your counsel can present it efficiently to the court or 1275 officer.
