If I was released on a $20,000 bond and the bonding company requests that I get a co-signer bit I’m having difficulty finding one, is there another option?

I am afraid that I might go back to jail. I will show up for court.

You can contact another bondsman and see if they will take over the bond.  You can also talk to your attorney and see if the judge will consider a bond reduction... thereby making it easier for you to get better bond conditions.
