I posted bond for my friend / relative to get out of jail and I received a notice in the mail to appear in court. Do I have to be in court on that day?

The notice is to inform you of the defendant's (your friend or relative) next court date. If the defendant does not appear, the bond money that you posted will be forfeited. The notice makes you aware of the court date so you can make sure that the defendant appears for his/her hearing at the court.
