Aiding and Abetting a Bail Jumper

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Texas

I use to play in a band with a few guys. Recently, one of them purposely missed his court date and jumped his bail (from a bondsman). He decided to quit the band and move back to California, where he was originally from. He asked for his cut of the bands profits so he could afford the trip. We decided this was not in our best interest for fear of aiding and abetting.
Now, hes made his way back to California on his own and is demanding his cut of the money. Meanwhile, the remaining members of the band still live in Texas. Would sending him money still be considered aiding and abetting?

He was originally given a court date for public intoxication and (I believe he was also charged for) assaulting a police officer. While awaiting his court date, he racked up several traffic tickets which he has not paid, nor will be showing up to court for, possibly adding to any warrants he may have.

Let him sue you and the other band members.

That's an outcome we definitely do not want to occur. We all believe he is definitely entitled to his cut, we just want to make sure it's okay to send money to him despite the fact he's openly told us he wanted to use the money to skip to another state and effectively run away from his charges. We still live here in Texas where he was charged, he does not.

We only made money here in Texas, and it's also where the bank account was made that has the money. Wouldn't he need to come back here to sue which would also get him arrested?

I appreciate your reply.

May I suggest this course of action? Send him the money and tell the bondsman when and where you are sending it.

In this manner you giving him what you believe he is entitled to without worries about whether you are aiding and abetting a fugitive.

P.S. I wouldn't be shy about asking for some reward money either if the bondsman gets him. You'll have earned it.
