Tennessee Bond Source Hearing Request is a process by which individuals can request a hearing to determine if they are eligible for bond. Bond is a type of financial security provided by the court to guarantee that an individual will appear at court proceedings and comply with any court orders. There are two types of Tennessee Bond Source Hearing Requests: one for criminal cases and one for civil cases. For criminal cases, the hearing will determine if the individual is eligible for bond in order to be released from jail. For civil cases, the hearing will determine if the individual is eligible for bond in order to stay in the state while the case is pending. Both types of hearings involve filing a written request with the court, appearing at the hearing before a judge, providing evidence of financial responsibility, and making a case for why the individual should be granted bond.
