May a bondsman continue to perform the acts of a bondsman while suspended or revoked?

• A. Only with written permission
• B. Yes
• C. No
• D. Only if within 30 days

Answer: (C)

When a bondsman’s license is suspended or revoked, they lose the authority to conduct any bondsman activities. The license status itself governs whether someone may legally practice, and there are no safe loopholes or exceptions that allow continuing work during the period of discipline. If a bondsman acts while suspended or revoked, they’re practicing without a license, which is illegal and can lead to criminal charges, additional penalties, and further action from the licensing authority. The proper course is to stop all bonding activities immediately and pursue reinstatement or the required steps through the licensing process.
