 BONDS AND SURETIES

NOTE: Affix a green sticker to the outside of the case file to denote a property bond has
been posted in the case. This alerts you to release the bond in the county clerk’s office
according to the judge’s order when the defendant has been sentenced and the case has
been disposed of. Order the green sticker from AOC using item number AVE-05052, and
indicating the color fluorescent green.
12.2.9 Unsecured bond
An unsecured bond is a promise by the defendant or surety to pay the
designated amount upon a failure to appear when ordered by the court to
do so or upon a breach of a material condition of release, not secured by
any deposit of or lien upon property. RCr 4.00(h).

12.2.10 Full Cash Bond
A full cash bond is a bond in which the full amount of the bond (see
Accounting Manual for acceptable forms of payment) is deposited in your
office either by the defendant or surety. RCr 4.00(b).

12.2.11 Partially Secured Cash Bond
A partially secured cash bond is a bond which requires a deposit of less than
the full amount of the bond. The exact percentage depends on the judge's
order, and may be as little as 10% of the amount of the bond. The
designated percentage is paid to your office by the defendant or surety at
the time of release of the defendant. In the event of forfeiture for
nonappearance, the defendant or the surety is liable for the full amount of
the bond. RCr 4.00(b).
