Do they give signature bonds for failure to appear for the first time

Usually not.

Usually not. The reason they were give a signature bond the first time was that they trusted the offender would appear. Since they failed to appear, it is unlikely they will get a bond this time unless the charges are very minor and the magistrate does not feel that the offender is a threat to the community.
